It attitude of the gaming community changes based on which game's community you are focusing on.

It attitude of the gaming community changes based on which game's community you are focusing on. The communities that usually fit the negative connotations often mentioned, in my mind, are League of Legends and CoD (most FPS games, especially on consoles, for that matter), which seem to be filled with people who are vitriolic assholes for the sake of being assholes. However, this is just my experience with these communities in the past and may be different for others. I know a fair majority of gamers aren't your GTA/CoD dudebros and screaming 12 year olds, but I feel that many people outside of gaming culture see it as such, which seems to be the biggest problem with "gamer" culture.
