We've all been labeled as that one guy. Maybe not all of us, but I guarantee a good amount of us have been stereotyped just because we enjoy video games. It's annoying to me because none of it is true. Maybe it is for somebody but it's not true. I've collected some of the most common stereotypes I've run across in my gaming experiences.
1. I have no life
2. I live in my parents basement
3. I have no friends
4. I smell
5. I wear sweaty clothes
6. I eat unhealthy
7. I'm littered with acne
8. I'm fat
9. I have never worked out
10. I'm pale
11. I've never leave the house for anything
12. I live extremely unhealthy
13. I sit in a dark room all day
14. I don't have a job
15. I have no other interests
16. I have no social life
17. I have no social structure built
18. More or likely I'm a mouth breather
19. I probably watch to much porn
20. I know a lot about computers
21. I'm always up to date with the latest video game news
22. I'm extremely lazy
23. I masturbate way to often
24. My love life is like the love story of twilight
25. I'm a COD fanboy
26. I dress up and go to comic-con
27. I have no personal hygiene
28. I can't survive without video games
29. I'm a major geek/nerd
30. I know nothing
31. My parents must hate me
32. I'm anti social
33. I'm lethargic
34. I must show up to every midnight release of every hot video game
35. I'm a middle aged guy
36. I dropped out of high school for video games
37. I'm brain dead
38. I'm ugly
To think I'm labeled as these...none of the above stereotypes are true. I think it's time the stereotypes end. I hate being labeled because I like to spend the few hours of my night roaming a virtual word, or slaying some dreadful monsters. Because this is who I am.
1. I have a life
2. I live with my parents (see #35)
3. I have a large circle of friends
4. I smell like peppermint :3

Think twice before judging anyone for liking anything you never know when you'll be proved horribly wrong.

A lot of the stereotypes for gamers are very odd

Most of these were conceived back when gaming was a cult hobby. It wasn't very widespread, but the people that [i]did[/i] do it were [i]really[/i] into it, hardly such a thing as a "casual" back then. Games are becoming a much more common interest for everybody because everything in the world is going digital, everyone has a device with the capability to play games in their back pocket. You could argue that mobile isn't a real "gaming" platform but certainly serves as an excellent catalyst for someone's discovery of games as a hobby.
