Bigotry, armchair speculation and prejudice

No, it isn't. And no, he doesn't. I understood this before his clarifications. I also agree that is the popular conception of a WoW player. Hell, this is the conversation I have every single time I mention I'm a gamer to a non-gamer.
I'm not sure you understand how the wider world generally sees gamers.

So wait, you're saying that he doesn't hold this view, but you then go on to say that you believe most people do hold this view? I'm not sure what you're trying to argue, exactly. I'm perfectly aware of negative stereotypes surrounding gamers in general and WoW players in particular, but that has nothing to do with the way that Cody just took a verbal dump over them.

Maybe he doesn't hold that view, but the way he put himself across was fairly rhetorical from the perspective of somebody who agrees with the prejudice.
