[QUOTE="Gfreak2x9, post: 7650731, member: 6707306"] The terrible truth is that we cannot control how other people view us. We can scream, and yell but not matter what we do we cannot change the opinions of others no matter how hard we try! I think the negative image was born LONG ago. In fact if you Wikipedia D&D it has a few TERRIBLE stories of how this innocent hobby ended up as a negative label. Even as a twenty year old young man it is hard to tell people I am into things like D&D, especially when dealing with the opposite sex. No matter how suave you are, anytime you say "I play D&D every Thursday night" you risk that negative stereotype rearing its ugly head! The worst part is I know women who would really enjoy the hobby, but for whatever reason stay away. I'm not saying women don't play. I know a few women that do play, but as a whole I know MUCH more men than women! This negative stigma placed on fun loving, intelligent people is beyond insulting. I know people who would rather have their son grow up unhappy, then grow up a D&D player! It is a misunderstood hobby that should be embraced! How many adults loose their inner child, only to find they spent every penny on cigarettes, alcohol, or other means of self destruction! I think the world would be a better place if we all sat down and played a little more D&D! Give a yourself a few hours to forget about that jerk at the office, or the lady who cut you off on the freeway! Shut up and roll initiative already! There is a Beholder coming!!! Its a game! Mind you a complicated one, but a game none the less! You don't see people shunning baseball players do you? "Oh dear god! Hes got a bat! RUN children RUUUN!!!" So why do people do it to D&D?
