A lot of American gamers are fairly insecure people; they scream "emo!" at every character that is not a steroid pumped chucklehead. The funny thing being, most of these geeks are more emo than the characters they claim to hate; actually living up to the stereotype (IE. I work with a guy who won't play Japanese games because they are emo; he has long hair, emo-thick glasses frames, and listens to indie punk music and techno.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
