00:00What really annoys me is when someone says, oh, like you're a gamer, I feel like there's such a judgmental
00:05kind of attachment to that, that like, oh my God, you spent all weekend playing video games.
00:10Like, yeah. And you spent all weekend binge watching something on Netflix.
00:14Like, there's still, there's such a negativity around the word gamer.
00:20I feel like for me, gamer is still a very loaded term.
00:23Even when we talk like among journalists, I feel like when people say capital G gamer, like you're referring to
00:31someone you do not want to be in the same room with.
00:33There's such a difference in my mind between liking video games and being a gamer.
00:39Like, it's my whole career. I've kind of devoted my life to games.
00:43Like, it's such a huge part of my life, but I still wouldn't call myself a gamer.
00:47I feel like to me, gamer is a word that's prescribed by others.
00:51Similar to you, I would never call myself a gamer. That's a word that's almost a word used to describe
00:59people who are like from someone, comes from someone who isn't a gamer.
01:03So all the friends I know who go, oh, Serena's a gamer with a capital G. They don't play games.
01:08I've never called myself a gamer and I would never call any of my friends a gamer.
01:12But if someone used that term with me, it's my hobby. I play games, so sure.
