Are hardcore gamers of competitive video games and e-sports such as FPS, competitive RTS, and MOBA really just what people call as "cool manly" guys and not really the stereotypical nerds and geeks?
Is it really true that majority of the stereotypical nerds or geeks are often unskilled and bad at competitive video games and e-sports like RTS, MOBA, and competitive FPS? There seems to be a prevalent stereotype that nerds and geeks are ONLY into and are ONLY good at Nintendo, Simulation, Horror games, Hack n Slash, Castlevania, RPG, MMORPG, Fire Emblem, Prototype, Goat Simulator, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, God of War, etc.
Plus, I also noticed that toxicity, racism, trashtalking, sexism, and bullying to be so prevalent in competitive gaming communities and e-sports communities especially in MOBA communities while the stereotypical nerd territories such as RPG, Hack n Slash, Horror, etc. are often very respectful, friendly, open minded, and knows a lot of diverse cultures.
I kinda have a strong feeling that the people who are into competitive video gaming and e-sports such as RTS, MOBA, and competitive FPS are actually highschool jocks, wannabe gangstas, bullies, and hypermasculine assholes.
Is this really true? What do you think?
