Sometimes I wonder what the thought process behind the gaming aesthetic was. RGB (*if tunable) itself is fine and adds a nice opportunity for personalization, but are those tacky fonts, crystal-facet enclosures, and overall showiness just tasteless or do any gamers actually prefer that look?

    I have to assume that there’s some kind of wilful ignorance going on because these kinds of products exist at the high and low end of the market

    Though I agree with your ETA.

    Examples of products that fit this edgelord epic gamerz aesthetic:

    Noteworthy that it is not the presence of rgb that makes these fit the bill, though it is usually present. Its the hyper angular, edgy, kitschy nonsense
