I've notice that since I've been open about playing games and watching anime, I've found people that are actually not half bad. True, I'm subject to persecution because of it, but most of the 'insults' I've endured have been not because of the fact that I play video games, but because of the genre of games that I play. I'll walk around with a 3DS playing Pokemon, or (when i was in high school) playing Magic: The Gathering during lunch (a.k.a, that Yu-Gi-Oh s***), and someone will start talking about how that stuff is for kids and how they used to play it, but they 'grew up.' I often reply with a question: Do you play games? They always reply with yes, and they toss out games like Call of Duty (who's demographic has to have moved down to 10 to 13 year olds), NBA, or Madden. They call me obsessive, but they can't take themselves away from sports or fictional wars enough to realize that they're being hypocritical. Always gives me a laugh.
