Gamerism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality for gamers.
The underlying
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.
Some schools of gamerism include the narrative of the misguided 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.
There are many different schools of thought under the gamerist ideology. Each of these facets are trying to achieve a different objective. Some ridicule the
philosophy of gamerism to be synonymous with a utopia. However it is the commonly held belief of all gamerists that it is not an
impossible dream.
