Message: [QUOTE="Kamako, post: 208666, member: 256115"] I feel like "gamer" has always carried a bit of a social stigma. Back in the day it conjured up an image of a socially awkward, intelligent, pallid person. Nowadays, it is usually meant to describe weed-smoking, overweight racist dossers who live off their parents. Neither stereotype is true of most people who play videogames. These caricatures were likely invented for films and TV by older folks who had no love or understanding of the culture, nor had any desire to. I wear my love of games on my sleeve, and I enjoy subverting expectations of who/what a "gamer" is "supposed" to be. [/QUOTE]
