| Topic | What are your thoughts on the term "gamer"? |
| ZaziGuado 06/17/19 9:05:55 PM #1: | I've never been a fan of people referring to video game players as gamers. It's always carried some sort of stigma to me and I've never been one to refer to myself as that, even as the term has seemingly become more colloquial in recent years as video games have become a more accessible and popular medium of entertainment. I feel like it describes a stereotypical lifestyle as opposed to an interest in the hobby. However, I feel like this could also strongly be a me thing. I have trouble admitting that video games are easily my top hobby when it comes telling strangers in a work or social setting my interests and activities, though when pressed I won't try to make up anything alternative. I just fear the assumptions that could be made about me, even though I can admit that the assumptions that run through my head are antiquated by this point in society and many people share this hobby in some form or another. Does anybody else share my concerns, or is my borderline shame silly? --- snowpork Zazi is OP. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
