Stereotypical gamer for me does not fit any of the criteria that you mentioned Seece. To me the stereotypical gamer is a bro. Things have certainly changed. I do feel like this thread was just designed to highlight certain qualities that you are not, by the way.

I dunno, alot of people would call the dudebro types the stereotypical casual rather than the stereotypical gamer...

I agree about the casual statement here...but I'm pretty sure they would be self proclaimed "hardcore" gamers.

Really, this topic is silly any way you cut it.  We're talking about stereotypes here...so in a way we're off on the wrong foot even before the race began.  

We're all of us unique individuals with unique passions and unique interests.  I think in a way the whole world has become "gamer" whether it be on their facebook page, on their phone, their tablet, their pc, or their dedicated console.  People like playing...there's a lot of "downtime" in this life and gaming fills much of that void for all of us.  That codified "stereotypical gamer" was never a thing when it came to be and it really isn't a thing now.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, I think you're confusing me with saying all gamers are/were like that. Stereotypes are niche for sure but there are those that fit the bill.

My question and purpose for topic is, how many of these stereotypes are out there these days, because back in the day a lot of gamers really did look like how I depict them to look.
