Male-dominated video games become spectator e-sports for predominantly male viewers because they sustain a different project than celebrating physical excellence. They don’t showcase a specific form of male-bodied performance so much as support a specific sort of male spectator: a straight middle-class boy full of resentment and patriarchal rage. This is and has been the sports fan par excellence.

why do they always write about white men like bad fantasy books talk about orcs? I mean, ‘full of patriarchal rage’?

now remember that most of these straight middle-class boys are Korean, even in the linked article, and scratch your head.

Koreans are the whitest boys of all.
