Society is filled with unaccepting jackasses of different cultures, religions and beliefs that think that everyone should act a certain way and you're strange and need help if you don't.
Personally I don't care what anyone thinks, believe what you will everything is fine, but force your beliefs and your a jackass. Everyone is different and EVERYONE has different ideals, beliefs and interests, most people don't understand gaming culture seeing it as a waste of time and filled with influential violence while it's more on par with a sport or reading per say.
When I told my parents I was asexual, they accepted it, but I got dragged off to the doctors anyway to have my blood done to see if something was wrong. My blood came up low testosterone but the doctor laughed and said to try it again (probably because of how I look), after that BS was done I was found to have normal everything. It just turns out I'm one of those "unlucky freaks" who's different *is being sarcastic*.
Ending the rant since I'm dragging on and getting slightly off topic, gaming is a different culture, we're a new generation with strange hobbies and even weirder definitions of social. I got laughs from family when I said I had an "internet friend who lives in another state" but people are actually warming up to these strange ideas (mostly this generation mind you) as it's getting more common because of the world being so gosh darn big.
