Scotformer isn't a buzzword. It's one desperate anon trying to force it to become a meme. I suspect that anon is you, OP, by sneaking it in there. With that said, fuck you.

This is the Mekka of autism, people who cling to a piece of plastic they got in their childhood and use it for escapism of the the chsnging reality around them, jumping into a specific timecapsule of when their life was safe and with less Problems. This is why everything has to be "as the developers intended" and get a fucking meltdown if not everybody else on the Planet enjoys it the same way the autist does. This is also the reason why baiting and shitflinging on this Board is mindnumbingly easy, as the people get triggered from every buzzword that force them out of their timebubble. It also gives them a feeling of superiority in a topic of life which would not have any substancial meaning in the real world, fictional fights which give their life a cause to exist.

>people who are hellbent on CRT's
Unlike those other things this has a substantial difference on the experience though. To make an audiophile comparison, vinyl enthusiasts are a lot less autistic than people who demand FLAC files since vinyl is a completely different method of recording/playback and produces a completely different sound.
You can say "well I don't really care about those differences" and that's fine for your opinion but to say that people should stop using CRTs/vinyl is just as biased as the people saying everyone should use CRTs/vinyl.
