Re: What kind of gamer?
(Anonymous) 2014-12-27 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)It seems like you're trying to turn something that is a scale "how much does gaming interfere with your life" in to a binary "Are you a good gamer or a bad gamer" and I can answer the first one "Very much. Way more than is acceptable by most people's standards, but not entirely"
I'm capable of all the examples you give, but I don't tend to it. and I think the implication that people who don't break out of their fandom runt are incapable of it, and non functional is kinda... Shitty? Like "He only ever talks about gaming, what the fuck is wrong with him" type of deal. This makes you a bit awkward, makes you a bit odd, but it does not make you deserving of the level of shit in this thread.
As for the second part, I agree that those qualities DO make you deserving of that level of shit. racists, sexists, homophobs deserve no mercy, but I also reject the idea that these are vital, or exclusive to the gamer identity presented in the first part of your comment.
Re: What kind of gamer?
And as I said to diet_poison below, the point I'm trying to make is that while most gamers may not be the obnoxious, annoying, and/or toxic kind, they all use the same label, and on the surface it can be a little hard to tell apart. I do think OP is unnecessarily generalizing, but at the same time, I can see where they are coming from, and why - even as a gamer - they are cautious about gamers.
