Times change. Gaming has also has this stereotype attached to it. Overweight males in their parents basements that drank Mountain Dew and ate Doritos. But now it seems to be a different world. You will get weird looks if you do not know what Fortnite is. Esports is becoming a real global event. And gamers, both male and female, are are not seen with some old stereotype. Streamers are becoming more and more watched and people of all kind are picking up a controller.
Gaming has also become a lot more social over the years. Multiplayer is the norm and you can play with your friends 24/7 online. Or you can bring a switch to work and play with co-workers on a lunch break. In fact a lot of gaming is social only, where you need a team if you are going to do well.
And it is not only gamers. Look at comic books. Marvel movies almost always make a lot of money regardless of who the hero is and everyone can get down with batman and spider-man. Comic con has blown up and top actors are trying to get their names attached to a hero. It really has changed
I think we were all geeks and now it is becoming more acceptable to let it out.
So lets geek it out.
