oddly enough…yes it is lol. It’s Garterbelt from ‘Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.’ I’d explain who he is exactly, but anything I say about him would make me sound like a crazy person so for the purpose of sanity, we’ll just leave it at black catholic priest with an afro…

If you’re into anime, I’d suggest you check it out. Just…just…don’t have any expectations. The show isn’t bad. On the contrary, in fact, it’s one of the best series to come out in years. I say don’t have any expectations because nothing you can think of will prepare you for that show lol.

And, your point sir? League of Legends have very little to do with me, but I tolerate the content on Gamebreaker, because I know some people like it.

You guys failed to read the part where I wrote “mostly”, Of course there are those who are truly passionate about cosplay and of course they probably live very interesting lives. I never said that it’s the only thing they do or the only thing they think about. I said the reason for anyone to dress up like that and be photographed and looked at does it for 1 reason only, TO BE LOOKED AT. Obviously. That means you are seeking attention because you want to be looked at.

And as you said, a lot are hired people, so they are probably not even that much into video games. They just do it to show off, be looked at. Otherwise you wouldn’t dress up like that. It’s the same as modeling or acting, seeking attention by having people looking at you. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I just think it doesn’t belong in the video game world.

Not to mention that a lot of women who fought for women rights not too long ago would turn in their graves if they see how some females project themselves to the world these days. Being half naked seems to be very normal, instead it’s females objectifying themselves to the limit. Combining that with video game characters of games that people love is a pretty brilliant marketing move considering 90% of the gaming market is teenage/early 20 guys.

Psychology will teach you there is a reason why people do certain things. From eating food in the morning, to playing video games 24/7, to guys wearing pants under their ass and wearing chains around their neck, to going to church, to women/girls putting on tight jeans and tank tops.

Also, life is a fascinating as you want it to be, don’t put a label on it, just enjoy it!

I agree with you for the most part. Robbert’s view is cynical in the sense that he sees the cosplay crowd in a narrow minded and negative perspective. Lol you caught me. I stereotyped gamers as people who don’t live interesting lives and that was pretty hypocritical of me.
Yes, we could say that about video gamers but we don’t because you and I know better. We both know there are many different people who live many different lives that make up the video gamer identity. Regardless of whether or not Robbert falls into the category of the stereotypical gamer is unimportant. Even if we did profile him that way, it does not give him any justification for him to belittle a group of people and paint them with a broad brush. /end white knight rant
