Gamers Are Anti-Social
Recommended Videos
There are some studies that suggest playing video games can actually help players become more social, but you wouldn’t think that based on how gamers are portrayed in mainstream media.

The Big Bang Theory has an entire main cast built around the concept that being interested in comic books and video games have turned them into a collective group of anti-social adults. While the character development has certainly managed to develop more over time, there’s no arguing that the show’s foundation is rooted in a rather dated stereotype.
