Of course not, I'll always love it and try to pull people into my lovely hobby, you think I'm gonna be ashamed because of what some 12 year olds do online?
😶😂 😂 😶This right here.
I play video games. For over 23 tears now. Not once did i think a was a gamer.
And i'm not ashamed to play videogames. Some People accept that and some People think the are for Kids. The latter are wrong
I'm not a "gamer" in the same way I'm not a "filmer" or "televisioner" or "reader". I play video games. I watch tv shows and movies. I don't read though.
No. That's a dumb question.
How so?Some of you put waaay more thought into this hobby than it warrants
Do I dislike the negative shit that happens in this industry? Absolutely.
Am I ashamed to like playing games? No.
The term "gamer" can burn in hell.
How so?
"Gamers" are toxic shit lords and whenever I'm called that I cringe and reply with a firm "fuck no" I love to play video games but I'm not a gamer. That culture can die in the dumpster fire that it is.
I'm more ashamed to be American than a "gamer" right now.
Hell, I'm ashamed to be human. Wish a was a dog at this point.
woof
Linguistics 101: words matter. We define the world around us through language. So "gamer" isn't simply its dictionary definition. It's much more than that: you must consider its cultural and social understandings in the globalised world.The word "gamer" just means you like to play games. All the other stuff associated with it, gamergate, the toxic elements of some online communities, the industries issues, those all seem tangentially related. I don't see any reason someone should be ashamed of essentially saying they like playing games just because of those things. They can still take issue with them. I wouldn't necessarily use the words "I'm a gamer", but that's more because gaming is just one hobby of mine out of many, whereas I feel that has the connotation that that's your main/primary hobby
I am the hottest free agent in e-sports.
