EPTOlympic athletes.
What losers.

Congratulations on reaching this thread. In the rare event that you are in grandmasters league, have a scorching hot girlfriend, and somehow avoided the terrible stench of being a gamer, please refrain from telling us about it. The 10 pages of people informing us that they do, in fact, have sex should provide enough of a counterexample to any non-believers. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. | ||

Everybody knows that most of the ppl who r watchin that are kinda poor. Pretty much of their program is like "hey look at them, lol. Even we r better than those guys". But what you are doing here is free advertisment for them. People who wouldn´t watch that show, will now do and even speak about it. They show shit like that every day - just ignore it, it doesnt really matter. E-Sports is still kinda new and many ppl dont know much about it. - The show shows that. But instead of whining about shows like that we should show the ppl how awesome esports can be. Instead of linkin that shit in fb, you should maybe link the Gom Finals. After all, whining doesn´t help. | ||

Go to Blizzcon or any other video gaming convention where the majority of participants are MMORPG players. Yes, there are fat people there but I'm not going to believe this is in larger numbers than in the average population until I see factual evidence proving so. Most MMORPG players I know are actually quite skinny. This contradicts your view of the situation, how about that? If you're just going to provide anecdotal evidence rather than cold hard facts or researched evidence then your posts don't hold much value. Your perception may be quite wrong indeed. You cannot say that gamers (or gamers of a specific genre of game) are any heavier / lighter than average people without having evidence pointing in either direction. I agree with this point there is no evidence on either side of the situation all we can do is specualte. From a by standers point of view gamers are pretty hefty on a whole. | ||

Basically all positive stuff idk im sure someone already posted the video here........ well if u can understand german give it a look. mhhh only that shitty quality  Edit: So props to RTL2 from me for not being ignorant and dumb....RTL on the other hand.....well there will always be people who think bad about something and its bad that such a well know TV station has gaming on its fuck-up-list. But hey i dont really care about opinions of people who watch RTL and actually believe the stuff they get told on there. So ignore it and move on guys  | ||

Get over yourselves ladies. Every scene you can imagine that got big, faced this it nothing new or something to get all defensive about. You guys are dong exactly what they hoped for, your giving them attention. I don't think this thread would blow up this much and people would get this mad if it weren't true for the most part. | ||

Did any of you actually watch that?! It was actually really funny. Especially considering it was German. The bit about having some pocket money and choosing between buying a razor or a new computer game... I mean lol. Some people here need to chill out. Not a big deal, just funny. | ||

One guy "I am what I am". Good. To me that came across like he was happy, better than the burning self-consciousness society often promotes. EDIT: Like Laura probably has. | ||

Okay I see this argument way too often in this thread... If you take a big group of people and pick some examples, which reflect stereotypes you want to confirm, only show these examples and use em on the whole group, then it's just bad journalism. Presenting a whole (big) group of people as stinking couchdwellers without girlfriends is insulting, especially for those poor guys they showed in the report, it's simply ethically wrong. And even if you have a model as your gf and are a gamer so you don't feel personally concerned (or even if you're not a gamer) it's right to take offence at something like that, because it's wrong and if nobody takes offence at something like that it will just get worse (rtl isn't on the niveau of fox news, (they're actually still relatively far away from that) but they may become that way in the future if nobody cares) So don't forget people: It's right to care about stuff like that in the media, it always is. | ||

If you take offense and get all upset your just feeding the trolls. If you just shrug it off they will get bored and move on. The reason they probably have so much time on their hands is cause they are bored and don't have any hobbies | ||

I don't understand this "it's true" argument. I despise racism and sexism too, even though I am a white male. If someone comes and says "all niggers are damn lazy" you would feel offended too (rightfully) and don't say "hey, if it wouldn't be true, no one would feel offended". | ||
