'You are not a real gamer.'

As much as I'm not a fan of Candy Crush, Call of Duty, and DOTA2, my condescension to those (sorts of) fandoms is largely self-mocking, and I should be more openly objective about it: If you like playing videogames, good. Doing anything that makes you happy (without harming anyone against their will) is self-evidently a good thing. While it's an attitude I'm personally ashamed of, I see it flaunted, brazenly and quite often elsewhere. I'm not calling out you guys necessarily (though many of you), but it's really not very good when people are made to feel excluded from something they enjoy, simply because they go about it a different way than others. Thoughts?

  • If you are going to ask me then you all likely are not. At all. Unless you take all challenges you partake in seriously then you are not. Not only that but if you don't take on challenges that are seemingly impossible you are not. If you do not take on challenges with the intention to succeed decisively then you are not. These are the basic qualifiers, and regardless I wouldn't worry about fitting someones values. For me it is a lifestyle more than a hobby. So again I don't expect others to fit it or agree with what I have said. I wouldn't ask you to do so either. I would ask you to not worry about whether your values match another's however, do yourselves a favor. Consideration, and further reflecting on whether you agree and disagree with them is a better thing to do.
