Exploding the Top 10 Myths and Stereotypes about Gamers Today

Game Podunk writes "There is a great deal of negative media images of gamers (lazy, awkward, anti-social, violent, socially delinquent, etc.) and it is up to the gamers of today to be the example to help prove them all wrong and show that gamers should be the masters of their own social identities."

Either that or they must be big geeky girls who just play Hello Kitty. -__-

I hate stereotypes.

big_silky5755d ago

All stereotypes are based on some truth though, something has to be fairly common in order to become a stereotype.

Girls beat males in term of casual(yahoo!) puzzle type games! out of bordum and killing time at work or something...
I don't consider those real games, so my conclusion still stands.. Girls don't play real video games, unless they're dorky anti-social chicks, just like the above said.

Sure I'm a lil' bit lazy, but who isn't at times?!
Gamers are ugly?! lol! so stupid.
No one I know who plays modern warfare 2 for example are even close to violent.. that is unless they're forced to be...
Btw, I'm a console gamer, good looking and still doing well with the Ladies at parties, clubs, etc... well, on the weekends anyway;)

Also, everything he pointed out can relate to any type of person. Not just gamers.

Nate-Dog5755d ago

3 of the 10 points there related to violence. It is shocking how stupid some people still really are when they connect video-games to it thinking it really has that much of an influence on us. But of course tv programs and movies with these themes are mkay yeah? ;)

/sarcasm

Acquiescence5755d ago

That's for the weak. If I'm gonna be a man then I'm gonna smell like a man, and right now I smell like a bum's nutsack.

Prototype5755d ago

Anyways one of the rare articles worth reading outside the X console hate

Number 8 and 9 are gigantic stereotypes. Some of us ARE physically fit and we DO have game.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing28d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing28d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
