I'd say I felt personally victimized by 'Pixels' (and by Sandler's presence in the film industry in general) but Adam Sandler's incessant need to portray nerdy men as victims is far stronger than any discomfort I had watching this embarrassing excuse of a film where women are literally trophies & men that play video games and act like children are paraded as underdogs.
At one point Adam Sandler says "For the record, I'm an amazing kisser. All us nerds are. We appreciate it more." and if that doesn't clue you in to how absolutely terrible this movie is then you're probably the target audience.
If you need more convincing, the visibly upset woman he just met & tried to kiss (and is also providing a service for, but to hell with professionalism!) calls him "a 210 pound dork who installs flat screens for a living." He retorts with some "What if I was a billionaire and we were on my yacht and I wasn't 30 going on 13" line, basically imploring her to admit she was being shallow. If you listen really, really carefully, you can collectively hear men around the world yelling "OWNED!" only to be hushed by their parents, because no respectable adult would watch this movie.
