philosophy of gamerism narrates the harsh realities of living in a
society that oppresses and subjugates gamers. The gamerism campaigns focus on eleminating the same. Often times it becomes necessary for people to hide the fact that they are gamers. Some of the campaigns focus on making the
society more acceptable and tolerant towards gamers.

society. They describe how the
society enforces roles for the people living in it and views individuals in these rigid roles. It is the
aim of the gamerism campaigns to show that one doesn't have to be a certain type of person to be a gamer. All people can be gamers and all gamers can have multiple roles in role playing games.

father of gamerism.
