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.

Germans on reddit already said that only dumbfucks actually watch that network, and they intentionally leave out information or find only information that supports their agenda.

It's like FOX News x10

lol, I haven't seen something as bad as this since the Frontal 21 killing spree Counter-Strike reports.

It's RTL-Group, they even have gaming shows on some of their channels and then just cater to their audience, Explosiv is and always has been crap for unemployed fools. It comes on in the middle of the day during the week, who do you expect to watch that? Nobody smart enough to get hired, as harsh as that may sound.

Well you gotta know that RTL is just stupid and the majority of the programs that are broadcasted there are not more worth than a head-shaking.

That being said here is another interview with the blonde girl who claimed in the first video how gamers would never shower and don't pay attention to their appearance....



In this video she is asked about her opinion on the closing of the trainline between Berlin - New York and she says that she thinks that it's unfortunate :D.... I think that shows obviously how serious we should take any opinions coming from this direction

Nobody should take anything that is affiliated with RTL (including NTV) seriously, but apart from wii playing housewives, the stereotype of the awkward gamer is a stereotype for a reason. ^^

Thank you for opening this thread. I was about to make one myself as i saw this footag just hours ago. A point you should mention is the introduction of the "article". Basically (not word by word translation) she says: "If aliens arrive on earth, they will probably find great friends at this event. We know that at the Gamescom, the biggest european games fair, it's about virtual gaming worlds, nevertheless, there are many really weird figures visiting. Steffi XXX Thomas XXX Tim XX tried to see through (i hope this correct, atleast leo says so) these people.

I really think this video is the worst bs I have ever seen by RTL. The sad thing is, they're second channel RTL2 made a good article about the gamescom with an interview SockE which he posted on his facebook (i even think on TL) which didn't offend any gamer in any possible way.

Realistically like half the korean gamers, a lot of them dress very well and are quite presentable.

Just to be clear, the article in question was produced and aired by RTL, not RTL2. RTL2 did daily reports about Gamescom is quite a positive way, i.e. this Socke interview.
Nonetheless, both belong to the RTL group (as you can tell by their name) and are about the trashiest networks and publishers around in Germany.

I use deodorant and shower every day, so I don't smell. I also have a really hot girlfriend with a nice pair. I will admit I'm addicted to games, and I usually don't care much about how I look. Oh well, they did get 1 out of those 3.

no shit, that's why things get sterotyped. imagine if it was the same steroetyping OP but titled "Black people sell drugs and don't have time for school." same type of ignorance

It's not ignorance. If a stereotype is applicable to a majority of a group then it is a valid stereotype. I would personally think that at least one of those is applicable to a majority of gamers. And I mean true gamers, not sad casuals who play a game on their phone when waiting for a bus.

are you f**king kidding me? this report is disgustinly one-sided and offending. there might be a grain of truth somewhere in between all the insults and stereotypes thrown around there, but it's plain obvious how this report tried to cater to all the bad prejudices people have about gamers as the typical "ugly basement kiddy".

and what the blond chic was saying was quite stupid, almost embarrassing for someone who is a university student.

btw did the blond chic remind anyone else of lindsey sporecrawler?... somehow i have this ugly suspicion like what the blond girl in this report was expressing is also what lindsey truly thinks about gamers.

Describes my brother pretty good. Much like some of the people I had to stand in line next to at Blizzcon.

I'm of the mind that stereotypes exist for a reason.

I shower daily, dress well for work (office casual), keep my stuble to look like Bradley cooper, and attempt to flirt with multiple girls throughout the day.

Oh and when I get home I load up Starcraft2

That program is not news but entirely entertainment. And the usual RTL news at prime time is pretty bad but certainly can't be 10 times worse than FOX news. And RTL has the highest viewing figures and is airing stuff like the German version of "American Idol" and stuff like that - so it's not only for "dumbfucks" but for ordinary viewers who like that kind of entertainment.

And no I don't watch it.
