I can't imagine what it's like to be teased for liking video games growing up.

Back in my day—the nineties and 2000s—it was cool to have the latest console. It was a major flex. It meant you had money to buy a $400-500 system and a bunch of $40-50 games. Guys I went to school with brought their consoles from home to show off.

Nobody bragged about video games after everybody reached 16-17, but they didn't care if people talked about playing them either.

I don't doubt what's described in this secret is true, but I'd love to know where they lived for it to be true.

Same. I remember one of my classmates bringing her Game Gear to school and all of us thinking it was the coolest thing ever. We were so jealous!

Same. I was always an outlier for NOT liking video games. People discuss them and discussed in the 90s/00s and tried pressure me into trying one. (I tried it's just really not my thing)

I tried quite a few times as a kid and teen (and adult!) to get into video games and I just don't have the hand skills and patience to get into video games.

My siblings were/are really good gamers so I grew up with so much video game stuff, but it just never clicked.

not OP

Growing up in the 2000s, it was pretty normalized and considered cool to own the latest console and be into the latest FPS titles, but certain games were deeply embarrassing to like. (Nintendo titles? Too kiddy and if you enjoy them over age 10 you're probably a shortbus kid. JRPGs? You mean those pervert games where men look like girls? Older console? Family's poor. PC gaming? For nerdy shutins who pee in bottles.)

SA

And there was a level where engaging with the game outside of raw mechanics- make number go up, headshot worse player, teabag to assert dominance- was embarrassing. Like, I played Halo, but I would have dropped dead before I admitted I had a crush on the Master Chief. I'm not surprised the OP caught similar flak.

But that's not so different from the people who would, say, engage in water-cooler talk about House of the Dragon but be weirded out if you admitted to writing Rhaenicent fanfiction.
