that's what this post is all about. stereotypes that just don't fit. at least jot anymore.
for a long time gamers have gotten a really bad rap, they are seen as insensitive, selfish, vulgar 40 year olds who live in their mothers basements getting all their sustenance from hot pockets and mountain dew. and in some cases that's true, but the simple fact is, that situation is rare anymore, gamers now encompass people from all walks of life, and most of them are Damn decent folks. take this story for instance,

this poor woman's husband was a game designer who.sacrificed himself to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. when the gaming community found out they did something to prove my point, gamers banded together to offer support, both emotionally and financially to the grieving widow.
to sum this up, I have one request, next time you see a gamer or hear someone talking about it, don't judge them based on old stereotypes, chances are that they are a good person who would be there for his fellow man when they are in need.
