[QUOTE="francisca, post: 9743783, member: 9734"] I never caught any crap about it from my parents, outside of they wished I spent as much time on homework as I did on D&D, which is understandable. There was a family of evangelicals down the street who told me I was "going to blazes!" because I played D&D. I replied something to the effect of, "Oh, I'm going to hell for sure, but D&D is WAY down the list of reasons why." The never said a word to me again, and crossed the street so the could walk on the other side, instead of walking in front of my house. I had a couple other adults say stuff to me about, and I basically said they were full of naughty word and they could take a hike. One of them said something to my Dad, and he told him to buzz off and mind his own business. But I was never bullied over anything nerdy, partly because I was also an athlete (football and wrestling), but partly because other's opinions never really bothered me. I had plenty of people who knew me and defined me by the type of person I was, not by my activities. [/QUOTE]
