What if someone was to have the username "CODfan(insert numbers here)"?

What if someone was to set their username as CODfan(insert number(s) or nothing here) on a website that has to do with nintendo or a nintendo game.

From my own witness and understanding, COD fans are usually stereotyped to be very immature and to not like or even hate anything by nintendo. They are also stereotyped to be people who defame nintendo and non-violent games and praise PS2, XBOX and violent games. All I can picture are people wanting to steer clear of them and being afraid of to talk to them.

What do you guys think? Is the whole stereotype thing from my witness and understanding wrong?

From 2008-2012, Cod was the only game I bought for my Xbox, so obviously the immature thing is true.


...but after MW2, the series sucks so all of this is unlikely and the real reason is that the immaginary guy has down syndrome

 

[VillageDweller]

Months ago some guy on the IRC entered with a username exactly like that o-o
CODFan24904 or something, but anyway he generally was rude. He never came back, lol.

The way I figure it a username's a username and stereotypes are only fueled by the people that believe them.

Then I would assume that they like to play COD. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no need to perpetuate vitriolic stereotypes. I like multiple publishers, besides, so even if this caricature of a person existed, perhaps we could find something in common.

I don't care about the person or the username. It still puzzles me that people still buy COD every time it comes out. It's been stale and repetitive since Modern Warfare. The characters are all bland and the game is the same EVERY YEAR. Watch Ghosts still be the same suckish game despite them claiming a new engine.

Considering we can get really deep posts from people on Reddit by the name of YOLO420SWAGJESUS, I'm very inclined to believe this. So no, can't say I judge terribly much based off usernames anymore, just by their posting quality.

"I guess that guy likes Call of Duty. Cool."

I don't stereotype people. I let their actions speak for themselves and judge them based upon their behavior when they interact with others.

...Though I admit if their username was something like "PoopsMcGee" I would probably be apt to expect a little immaturity from them.

I don't judge usernames. Otherwise I would instantly dislike 99.9% of everyone here.

JK

What if their last name was actually Poopsmcgee (sorry, just had to ask that)?

 

[Officer Berri]

I would pity theme severely.

Why should it matter..?

What if the COD username person's name was actually "Charles Oswald Deekins"...

 

[Lunarbug]

I really wouldn't pass judgement until he/she actually did something. Yeah, some COD fans have earned that reputation but I'm one to judge people individually by their own actions.

 

[Jaymes Keller]

Oh man, you see, I can't help but have preconceptions of anyone with that name. I guess it's something I picked up from when I was a moderator at another place. (Not AC related, obv.)

So you could say I would keep both eyes on them, and chances are, they would stay quiet. (Most may be daft, but not *that* daft.) Only on the odd occasion, when they did do something silly, I would react. I have the odd feeling I scare a lot of people because of my lack of thought control. Ah well. XD

 

[oath2order]

I'd pass judgement and probably not really pay attention to them.

 

[darkzero]

What's in a name? It's worthless to pass someone off as ignorant just because you don't like their name. Let their actions speak for them. Not their name.

 

[BellGreen]

If someone was to have the username "CODfan" then I would ignore it. It's just a name, what's so excited to overlook about it? It's like saying SMBfan would be ambushed with big replies.

 

[MadCake]

Wouldn't care, really.
What does a game have to with your personality? If you love Xbox but hate Nintendo, k nobody cares.
Even if they hate Nintendo or any company besides Microsoft or sony, Who cares? It's their fault for not having a broad horizon in gaming or being to critical of minor mistakes from Nintendo and other good gaming companies.. If they said Microsoft is l33t and Nintendo doesn't have enough 'violence', They're quite stupid as well.
Needless to say, let them have the username they want.
