Some serious Scrabble players are poor losers. I am a good loser. I love Scrabble so much I don't care if I lose. I also have to be a good loser because I lose a lot, so practicality plays a role.
In "Bad Feminist," Roxane Gay reflects on the competitive nature of Scrabble players, noting that some take losses very hard. However, she identifies as a good loser who enjoys the game regardless of the outcome. Her perspective highlights the pleasure of engaging in the game itself rather than solely focusing on winning.
Gay's acceptance of losing stems from a combination of her love for the game and the reality that she often does not win. This practical approach allows her to appreciate Scrabble for its enjoyment and challenge, rather than being consumed by the need to win, showcasing a positive attitude towards competition and personal growth.
