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

[oath2order]

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.

Nobody's saying they can't have the username >.>

Then I would assume that they like to play COD. Nothing more, nothing less.

This. You can't really define a person based purely on a single game that they play.

Um, yes. You actually CAN judge and define them based on the game that they play.

I don't really think stereotyping in any fashion is the proper way to go about things and everyone should be taken on case by case basis.

 

[Gingersnap]

In some ways yes, you can judge someone on the games they play. Maybe they like RPG, maybe they don't like platforming whatever it's all about what you're into.
But stereotyping because of their username is wrong, at least try to get to know the person first jfc.

 

[Seravee]

Wouldn't care as long as they didn't bug me.

I'm a cod fan who plays everyday and I'm not really a raging 12 year old who does things with other people's mothers, soo.

 

[mariop476]

There's always an exception to the rule. There's a kid who plays on the Minecraft server I'm a mod on named Codfan-something-or-other. He's alright. He's never seemed to be a rude kid, just a little awkward.

But here's a kicker: What if someone that generally dislikes the CoD series, but has the username anyway, because his little brother/cousin decided to distract him while said person was joining a forum, and he hit the OK button without reviewing the page?

If is a word you shouldn't use lightly.

The only thing people do on call of duty is try to kill each other and cuss belligerently until their IQ has dropped 35% below normal.

 

[Aquadirt]

I know too many people who play Call Of Duty for the sole purpose of trolling on the Online Multi-player. Stereotypes are generally there for a reason, but that's not to say they're always true.

 

[Zebra]

I would just

I remember one time when I was in high school this group of kids were talking about Call of Duty so then I spoke up and told this one girl "Hey you should try DOOM, it's fun." And she just grins and goes "Call of Duty??" I'm just like "....No. I said DOOM." It's a much more enjoyable FPS with a better storyline imo. I wouldn't knock the CoD games just because I've only ever played Black Ops, but when some of the fans are on their high horses claiming that anything other than CoD sucks, I've got a problem and it only makes me start to dislike the series (which is a shame, when fans ruin things they like by acting like fools).

 

[hzl]

I wouldn't even be bothered what their username was. I don't judge based on username. I used to play the cod campaigns myself until I got bored of them.

 

[Psydye]

It would be tempting to use generalizations(typical ego-stroking FPS dudebro-type), but I would come to my senses quickly and know they probably just like to play CoD nothing more or less, not good to make assumptions!! lol. I try to be optimistic and not make assumptions of people based on screen names and other things...

 

[Midoriya]

I'm not one of those people that says shooting games are bad for the brain, but I don't like them at all either. The straight-forward truth is that you shouldn't judge someone because of their (user)name.

 

[CymraegCrusader]

Sounds just like my home country.

 

[Stevey Queen]

I think it's possible for someone to play call of duty and pokemon.

 

[StarMayor]

I wouldn't really mind if they had a username like that. People can love all kinds of games, they can enjoy Call of Duty and Animal Crossing at the same time after all. I mean, I like TF2 (which I know isn't much like COD in that TF2 is a comedy game, completely bizarre, and not realistic or anything, but it's still an FPS), and other games like Skyrim and Pokemon.

But I mean, if someone had that username and their only intention for joining was to say silly things like 'Ugh, Animal Crossing is for babies, stupid Nintendo buttheads' and stuff like that, then I'd be just thinking 'why are you even here?'

 

[Leanne]

I don't judge people based on their usernames or games they play. ^^; we are not really in a position to do that. People can be good, people can be bad, but their choice of games has nothing to do with it.
