I don't hate child gamers. I hate child gamers playing games way above their age (Example: L4D2) and then sucking. If they are good, and don't have shitty mics, squeaky voices, and can go five minutes without saying "******," I generally don't mind.

I know. I was a huge jerk. God willing, I'd have died at the fangs of a giant lizard, and the world would have been spared one more insufferable kid.I Have No Idea said:
This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing that, I can't believe I haven't heard of The Oatmeal beforeTallim said:

I have three main problems with what I refer to as "the Squeaky Voices". One, they're stuck-up as fuck. Two, they over-concern themselves with what others think of them and do stupid and/or fucked up crap like trying to quickscope everything they see, flat-out cheating (usually via glitching), and especially shouting random insults and vulgarities; all in a poor attempt to get people to think they're cool. Three, and most importantly, their Leeroy Jenkins attitudes that involve them actively going against any plan or strategy and even going so far as to call anyone actually using their heads "noobs" and cheaters. While these are far from exclusive to teens / pre-teens (hence why I don't visit CoD4Boards anymore. Even an admin was telling me that tactics and strategy in CoD is bullshit and that I should charge into the open "like a man"), these type of attitudes are most prevalent with people from these age groups. I was just playing Black Ops Zombies on Ascension with three total players. This kid - who had a mic mind you - refused to communicate with me quite often (the third guy didn't have a mic btw), never tried to come up with a strategy of his own, picked up every nuke he came across even after I explained it to him that nukes were usually worth far less points than just shooting the zombies and should only be used in emergencies, killed off final round crawlers early, listen to him actively tell me NOT to revive player number three because "he sucks", his flat out refusal to help me defend the Juggernog machine during monkey rounds, and watch as instead of trying to revive me after I PaP'd my M16 he goes into a corner and tries to glitch - resulting in a lone zombie walking up right behind him and getting the necessary six hits in to down him. This is why you guys get such a bad rep, because of people like this guy.
TL;DR Too many people your age are douches, hence why you guys get a bad rep. As long as you're not acting like the typical "Squeaky Voice" though, people generally will show you some respect.

Prejudice, as always.
People will have maybe one notable bad experience with younger gamers. From there they'll assume the age of anyone annoying online to be young, and then everyone young online to be annoying. Just count these people as amongst the assholes online. Mute, /ignore, and report exist for a reason.

I don't have any anger towards younger gamers. I don't care if a 7 year old is playing an M rated game like Call of Duty or Halo or whatever. It isn't my concern.
If they're being annoying, I can always mute them/group chat with friends/unplug my mic. I can do that for any situation. They don't have to be younger. The most annoying people I've ever played with happened to be in their mid twenties and British. If anything, I can get a good laugh out of an annoying little boy who sounds like a girl.

So now the CAPTCHA's are using old usernames, eh?

And yet, you grew out of it, right? Most every kid does once they realize that the real world does not like whiny douches.BloatedGuppy said:
I don't get angry with them.
Kids are kids and with regards to men we are always kids.
We never grow up.
But young folk will act like young folk and thats the whole point of being bloody young. We shouted and screamed when we were kids it's part of the being young and enjoying your damn self process.
Fuck what people say about you lad just enjoy the fact you still have 15 years until you get like them and have fun.
For arguments sake i'm 31 and still act like a kid. I still get excited when I get a game i've been waiting for or a film i've wanted to see comes out. I won't deny i'm a big kid at heart. My wife does enjoy that i'm a big kid it means i'm still fun (sometimes).
Enjoy your life and fuck what other folk think.

Your insufferable need to turn this into a serious discussion about the OP is making it harder and harder for me to fantasize about giant lizards mauling snot faced teenagers. Have you no shame, sir?I Have No Idea said:
Well, I'm nineteen and I still get called 'kid' all the time online even when I've only said a few words, that pisses me off. I think what people most hate is the arrogant, noisy little shits who sound about nine and scream down the microphone on Halo and CoD - I know they annoy the hell out of ME.
You (the OP) don't seem to be the kind of person who gets ripped online (forgive my presumption if this IS the case), you're literate for one thing, it's mostly people younger and/or less mature than you that generate all the hate.

young gamers are great. except the ones that speak. haha but seriously here's a recent example I've been playing the resistance 3 multiplayer beta and was stuck with a group of kids who kept saying the other team were a bunch of hackers. it was annoying because the rest of us realized one thing: their team clearly outclassed us(most of them also were much higher level as well). younger people are usually the first to complain about something if it doesn't go their way. or complain about balance when someone is better than them. yes of course that's a generalization but I was pretty self absorbed as a teen too, so I don't take too much offense to it.

7 years is a long time... can I at least get a volleyball to keep me company?BloatedGuppy said:
NO.FreakSheet said:
Volleyballs are for grown ups. You won't appreciate them on as many levels as we do.
Wow, that's just... i don't know. For the lack of a better word "stupid".BloatedGuppy said:
Not only don't i get why you chose that spectrum of ages, but i don't see how you can justify such a grave generalization. Please explain to me how you can paint everyone with the same brush like that.
OT: Like others have said before it's not young gamers in general, but the tendencies that seem to apply to the majority of young gamers i.e. whiny little bitches who hide behind the anonymity of the internet and yell into microphones.
I don't mind younger gamers.
I mind whiny bitches and griefers, despite their age.
And for the record, tubers/snipers/campers/rushers/knifers etc. are not griefers, they play the game by the rules, trying to win. IT's the people whining about it that bothers me.
The only difference between younger and older gamers is, that the youngest ones sometimes have a more irritating voice, when whining over a mike
