Line 22:
* Anyone who is very skilled at a particular video game is regarded as some sort of godly superhuman at best and a total loser with no life outside of that game at worst.

** [[Animation Age Ghetto|If you play a game with a rating below the one you're in (playing an E game when you're 17+) you're an]] immature [[Man Child]], [[Periphery Demographic|completely ignoring that these games can be fun at any age]] [[Animation Age Ghetto|(similar to how a G-rated movie must be for children only).]] The only genres that are not subjected to this are sports games and racing games. Hell on the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] the only E rated games left are sports games that aren't contact sports and racing games.<br /><br />It might be worth noting here that pretty much the only people playing E-Rated games these days ''are'' over 17, and even then probably only if they grew up playing them as a child. For the most part, kids these days won't touch anything not [[Rated "M" for Manly]]. All those other games are apparently just faggy kiddy crap for ''babies''.
* [[Fan Girl|FanGirls]]. All fangirls are automatically hysterical, obsessive, semi-literate, 13-year-olds who will never get a boyfriend. No exceptions. Hey, it's the Internet, so anyone can claim to be a rational adult leading a normal life. A group of people have an interest in something you don't understand or think is dumb? "Well, they're just silly little fangirls. Of ''course'' they'd be into ''that.''"
** [[Yaoi Fangirls]]: [[Fan Dumb|Destroying every fanbase's intelligence]] since ''[[Final Fantasy 7]]''. Of course, [[Yuri Fanboy|Yuri Fanboys]] [[Double Standard|don't get the same treatment]] because, well, [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|this trope]]. Look up "Rule 34" on Google Images, and you'll find that almost all outrage at the Rule 34 images is toward Male/Male and never Female/Female. This may also be partly due to yaoi being more prominent and the fangirls being (seemingly) more vocal. Not to say the [[Double Standard]] is justified by this, it's just a possible reason for it.
Line 258:

* In the ''Hamish And Dougal'' episode "the Vampire of the Glen", there's a gag about "Count Cardula ([[Sting (music)||Dramatic Accordian Sting]]) ... the accordian player" who tortured people by playing the accordian at them.
