Until it gets popular/mainstream/cool and then all the women and leftists flood in and try to take it over, eg Warhammer, Witcher etc etc

oh damn you don't consider warhammer/witcher proper nerdy games? i never played them/got into them (not building the figurines/painting them either)

i always thought WoW was the classic nerd stuff.

and the gateway to that was stuff like star trek etc

Gaming has been part of my life since I was a young child. It will forever be a foundational part of who I am. Any woman who looks down on a person who has hobbies (and this is arguably my cheapest hobby) is a miserable **** who has nothing better to do all day than complain on social media (aka she has no hobbies).

I hadn’t gamed since the mid 2000’s ,as I had taken a room apart and never got around to finishing it . I finally put a desk in my living room for now , and bought a gaming rig.
I’m enjoying COD just as much as I did almost 20 years ago . No idea why there’s a hate on gamers

Insecure people who are failures judge other people on their hobbies

Anyone who has a taste of success and happiness doesn't care what other people are doing. Truly happy people will be happy for the people enjoying their hobbies.



Aside from all, that I can't really imagine the same stigma exists amongst the younger crowd today. Anyone like 25 and under most likely grew up being heavily influenced by gaming and twitch, or at least was friends with other people who were. Gaming is incredibly mainstream for youngins today, not like when we were young and it was just the bros playing.



I always think of this kinda when subjects like this come up. Kids these days aren't the same lol. I, can't imagine they make fun of eachother for being gamers.

Same people will watch TV or just browse on their phone endlessly for entertainment lol most of the girls who look down on gaming are bored outta their minds of their own life unless they have a man and even when they do, they're bored still.

Believe me , sloots are always bored . It makes sense when you finally come to the realization that a sloot is nothing more than a child in an adult body , which explains why you have too constantly provide entertain for them . I don’t have the time or patience to keep a child entertained 24/7 . There no reward with sloots, just misery and chaos , hence why I’m single . Pump & dump

awesome to hear so much love for gaming. i love back on the happiest periods of my life and they were when I was engrossed in a game.

granted I was much younger but i don't think it has to change. i feel video games give me something nothing else does, it's like movies to some people but I don't care for movies. (i know you can like both but whatever). i prefer engaging

I don't think anyone besides Boomers laugh at gamers anymore, OP. I'm 30 and don't no a single person my age, male or female, who looks down on gaming or being into other stereotypical "nerd" chit. Buddy of mine had a nerdy hardcore gamer little brother who was 4 years behind us in hs. We'd always laugh about how we was gonna be an incel & get his ass kicked all the time. Joke was on us. People thought his tech knowledge was, dope, he never got bullied, and he even got tons of smart girl pucci. Times changed fast, OP.

This, then they call you names for having an issue with them taking over the hobby to promote their politics.

Yeah it's true, boomers seem to be the only generation that still has some issue with video games, probably because they're the last generation to grow up without them, so it's always been scary, strange, and confusing to them. It's basically been the boomer's version of "rock n roll is the devil."

People will make fun of people who play video games while they spend a large portion of their time watching TV/movies etc. I love movies but i'm just saying that makes no sense to make fun of video games if you're watching something like reality TV shows. Video games you are using your brain solving problems, and get to experience a story at the same time.

i just finished playing a round of ground war. despite recent CoD being cheeks the match was okay since it's buttery smooth on my rig.

she can smirk all she wants she's literally missing out on some interdasting technology. games are just a hobby to most, but the impact they can have on the world with other related media like cartoons/anime is astronomical and the exact reason we have people running around never giving up no matter how hard chit gets because some of these stories and characters truly turn you into a mf.

Yeah I could never understand how some people can have such a low/critical view of playing video games while thinking nothing of watching TV all the time. The lowest, most braindead entertainment I see is always the kinda chit people watch on television. People will just sit there like zombies watching garbage, no mental stimulation really. Even people who watch sports and news all the time, sports can be kind of a stupid/obsessive hobby of it's own, and TV news is basically 90% propaganda where opinions are spoon fed to people.

Soon as the masses realized how much time and money nerds have to be exploited it started to become over.
