This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Social Stigma of Gaming?

Whereas I was an organizer in a Catholic students organization back when I was in university, never made a secret of my geekery and love for role-playing games, in particular, and never received any lecture about this from any priest, deacon, or whatever the case may be.

I guess there are assholes everywhere, though.

Actually,I do feel some stigma from time to time,being just 17, people of my age in Colombia usually think you suck if you re not drunk every Friday and Saturday getting laid with hot chicks.It s kinda sad,but I still do manage to get a partner from time to time and actually had a somewhat active social life,even thought I m now in Uruguay and kinda trying to rebuild everything from scratch.

As of getting picked on in Uruguay,nope.Not even for my "geek tendencies"
