A typical guy who loves to play video games and talk about video games like it's their religion. If the video game has lore, then they will be obsessed with said lore. Almost every teenage boy is a gamer boy nowadays.

An asshole who thinks they're good at video games, and in reality, is just salty as fuck about everything. Makes long, obnoxious rants about how developers are "killing the video game industry", and judges games based on how many tits are in them, not what the gameplay is like.

When self-appointed authorities in the gaming community attempt to dictate how others should play, speak, or engage based on personal preferences or perceived norms.
"I prefer playing stealthily in this game."
"You're not a real gamer unless you play aggressively."
"I like using this controller for gaming." "Real gamers only use XYZ brand. You're not serious about gaming."
"I enjoy playing casually for fun." "Casual gamers ruin the experience for serious players. Step up or quit."
"No, it's not a mod/playstyle choice!!! Silent Assassin is cheating, and anyone with half a brain cell is going to think of you as a cheater if you run it."
"Embracing a 'Gamer Gatekeeping' attitude, some assert their words as law in the gaming world, dictating how everyone should play. Disregarding these proclaimed rules may lead to exclusion from the gaming community."
