Temat: Are You Embarrassed To Be Recognised?

Are you embarrassed to be recognized as someone who plays RPGs? Do the stereotypes bother you? Do you worry about being labelled a devotee of Anton LeVay? Do you keep your hobby off your CV for fear of losing a job opportunity? Do you display your RPG books for others to see them?

Do you feel the stygma? Would you take your non-RPG acquaintances to Paradox Cafe (assuming you would go yourself)?

What about Ph.Ds who disqualify your opinion because you are an RPGer. How do you feel about that?

Temat: Are You Embarrassed To Be Recognised?

I was never, ever embarassed by liking RPG. I only sometimes feel strange when someone is asking me "what the hell is RPG?" and I have to explain something what is well known for me ;)

And I had RPG in my CV - noone ever asked my about it, but I've heard, that some companies prefer to employ someone who plays RPG - because he/she is good at team-work, and has a lot of other wanted features (I hope it's a good word ;P)

Well, I have RPG as a hobby in my CV for some time now and have no idea what impact it might have on my career...
I would not be bothered by opinions of people who do not see the difference between cabaret, ex-church/circus organist and someone liking to play with words. I honestly would not like to work for such ignorant.
With regards to stygma I find this word a bit too strong. Eccentricity maybe. Praise the Bane, Black Lord, I live in the country where it's absolutely fine ;)
And for god's sake word "acquaintance" could be used in the House of Lords in the ruling about a 78 years old lady who made friends whit a follow pensioner, but not in the above context. Unless you are the Duchess of Warwickshire, of course ;)

a poza tym, twoj post znow brzmi jak chytre pytanie antropologa probujacego wyciagnac odpowiedz na silnie emocjonalnie nacechowane pytanie... czyzby koniecznosc wybadania rynku w razie pytan potencjalnych klientow?(http://www.crowcommunications.com/rpg.html)
