I've got a pony tail. You want to fight about it?

Haha no they don't, they just ignore everyone and assume everyone is just jealous.
Dude's an actor, he plays his role well.

When I hear "stereotypical gamer," my mind goes to a 20-something frat boy that only plays multiplats like Call of Duty and Madden, but still takes console wars way too seriously.
It's a combination of attributes that bring the stereotype to life. But there can be tell-tale signs.
Inspired by your tackiness, I'm going to go put on my GTAV Collector's Edition Hat. I shall join the Bad Fashion zeitgeist.
That's more of the dudebro gamer image. OP is talking more the clueless geek gamer image.

I love this anger towards atheists that you seem to have.
It's almost as though their crimes, instead of at worse being about having a few loud annoying personalities in their ranks, with dubious fashion sense, were, you know, murdering people, or setting back humanity by trying to stamp out critical thinking and science, or preaching intolerance against our fellow citizens because of their sexuality, or protecting priests who abuse children, or any number of terrible things the religious do.
Nah, those damn fedora wearing atheists! The scourge of humanity!
In a vacuum, nothing is wrong with fedoras. However, it's a formal hat and should be worn with a suit (although it's an outdated style now).
Many people wear them now but while wearing casual clothes (and bad ones like cargo shorts, sandals, flame shirts, etc) which just looks awful. These are the people who think that anything modern is bad because it's modern and true men are "classy" and so they dress like they're from the '40s and '50s when "men were men".
The way the fedora is shaped makes it look good on someone with a strong jaw and clean haircut. The people who stereotypically wear fedoras now are usually not in shape, either being too fat or too skinny, with bad facial hair and a bad haircut.
You're doing the thing.

Hush you.
Thread is now complete.
Frankly, I think that's kind of cool. It'd be cool if I had a cross-stitch of one of my favorite video game characters, Nightshade, from the 1992 game, who wears a fedora...
*coughs*
[Shit.]
*sweats profusely, coughs*
What the hell. Tell ya what, I'll talk to you guys later, I don't feel so goo
Lol this seems.. uncalled for.
isn't this what that one guy looks like? The one gaf loves who gets a thread every week who is outraged about video games?

I find that these "gamers" commonly wear a trilby not a fedora. Patrick Stump wears fedoras!

In this moment, are you euphoric? lol
The second guy on the bottom left kind of looks like Jim Sterling, but if anybody asks I didn't notice that.
It was all this person.
I don't have anger towards atheists, the explanation i gave does not reflect what i think towards neither gamers, atheists nor hats, but rather what i saw the origin of the whole stigma the fedora has gathered in the internet, and how i have seen the word used against atheists, even in OT people will poke fun throwing "tips fedora" and gaf is actually pretty atheist slanted.
Someone asked what the origin of the fedora mock was and before it was used to mock neckbeards and MRAs in general, it was used to mock internet Atheists and that was in part because the picture i posted (as far as i know, the quote is not even attributed to the person in the photo, someone likely just attached the quote to it).
Doesn't mean i support mocking atheists, just pointed out it factually was something that happened.
And it's not like religious people don't get mocked in the internet, and much less here on gaf anyways.

Jesus, they're coming out of the woodwork in this thread!
Some people wear them thinking it's a cool and sophisticated look. But for a lot of people it's not. Especially if you wear it togheter with a washed out anime t-shirt, baggy jeans and dirty sneakers. Bonus points if you don't shave despite not being able to grow a proper beard.

Where else would you put a Katana?
M'lady.
This thread has exceeded my expectations.
Don't bring the universal favourite pastime into this.
Don't waste your energy. He's probably balding and is jealous of our luscious hair.

Fedora and ponytail is a typical stereotypical gamer? Sounds like you're describing a hipster or something, who also be vocal.
Anyways come context would help in the OP. I guess I have a different idea of a stereotypical gamer. In my eyes they are over weight, acne, smell kinda bad, look like they haven't washed their hair and live in their moms basement.

Pretty much this.
As someone whose hobby is collecting YuGiOh cards I know these people all too well.
I usually don't give a shit about competitive decks, and play (very functional)decks with cards I like with a close group of friends.
And at some point I got tired of some dude in the store calling me and my friends "poor homeless noobs" outloud because we didn't spend $100 for a single piece of cardboard.
I pointed out that I didn't have money for cards because I had to spend in my girl, my studies and overall...a life.
During the day these fedora idiots were spamming my FB saying I should "check my skills before I speak to a superior player"...They were completely serious.

Is that a stereotypical gamer? I've never seen anyone like that, maybe it's an American thing.
