Forums - Gaming - Dudebro games is offensive

I have noticed many gamers on forums including VGC use the word dudebro as an insult or poking fun of those type of gamers and honestly I dont understand how this isn't bannable.  I for one can be considered a dudebro gamer as I play games such as Madden, NBA, and god forbid Call of Duty.  i know, I'm a horrible person for liking these games. And i know that Im not the only one who plays these games on forums. People often time use dudebro as an insult (just because they don't like something) towards games and I think that is ridiculous.  That would be like people calling JRPG games and MMO's etc nerd fest games etc.  Those same gamers who make fun of dudebro wouldnt want their genres poked fun at either.

Same goes to dance games, move games, kinect games, or anything to do with motion controls.  They are often insulted as girly games or casuals.  That is meant as an insult from many people.  The thing is, they are games and if people enjoy them let them.  Not everybody likes the same type of games as you so there is no need to insult genres just because you dont like them.

Let me be clear.  Anybody can like a specific game whether they are a girl, guy, dudebro, nerd, etc.  They are games and should be classified as what they are and not some derogatory term to poke fun and a specific type of gamer.

Does anybody else think this stuff should be monitored better?




       

I dont use dudebro as an insult, just as a way to describe the typical 16-32 year old male with huge interest in cars, sports, sex, violence. Since those things are there hobbies, it only makes sense that when they play a game, it falls into the sports/racing/shooting genre. Not all people who play those games are dubedros however most dudebros choose those games over other genres.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I didn't know Dudebro was derogatory.



Dudebro games are* offensive.

I once had problems with people online, but I just told my mommy on them and now everything is better.

Of course :P  Who wouldn't want to poke fun at those 10 year olds playing nintendo ;) lol just kidding of course.




       

your being way to sensitive. I agree with what your saying,but if people don't like them,then so what. There's alot more offensive things,to get worked up about.



Intertnet Fanboy logic
Dudebro= Shooters or Sports
Shooters or Sports = Xbox
Xbox = DudeBro's
It's easier for a person on the internet to hate Xbox if you claim you your not a DudeBro gamer...
