Re: What kind of gamer?

[nyxelestia]

I'm not sure how unique it is - as we've both experienced, the overwhelming vast majority of nerdy types aren't like that. But most people I've talked to (online and real life) who hang out with fellow nerdy types in real life also mentioned "a few bad eggs".

In my experience, it's more like option A - it's a small chance that you can really damage your perception in the eyes of people whose opinions you care about.

I think one of the big disconnects for us is that for myself - and many others - my social life and my professional life aren't isolated from each other. They interact heavily with each other, which means I have to make sure my overall reputation/perception is a good one, because I'm never quite sure when that will leak over into my professional life (or at least my version of professional life - for many people, it may just be social life, but that social life is critical to them in a way it may not be for everyone).

It is definitely fading. My own friends are a big part of that, as is the growing overall popularity of video games. It's just that right now, while it's fading, it's still highly prevalent. Video games aren't really seen as just the hobby that they are for most people - they still have certain stereotypes attached to them, namely neckbeard stereotypes or something "kids" do and grown adults shouldn't be doing. It's a very stupid assumption, but unfortunately some very stupidly assumptive people have significant influence on my life and it isn't always obvious who they will be, so I really have to be careful to make sure the first thing people learn about me isn't how much I love fandom. (Of course, once people get to know me, I'd love to reveal it, because I will at the very least break down stereotypes and if I'm lucky I'll find other nerds and have new friends.)
