Stereotype us all!

[Tharwen]

Greetings! Welcome to my thread! There are drinks in the fridge and glasses in the cupboard under the sink- no, not that one; the one to the right. Yeah, that's it.

Today we're going to be defining a stereotype. Specifically, a stereotype of us, the Escapist users. What we like, what we wear, what we don't listen to, our standing towards specific social groups, the games we worship et cetera.
[sub]I'd also like to request civility at this point. This is a fun thread, but I can see potential for people to get insulting. Don't.[/sub]

I'll start our stereotype by saying that every one of us is a university student with a bedroom full of bladed weaponry and the entire Half-Life series favourited on our Steam accounts.

Now it's your turn... Go!

I'm not allowed to bring my weaponry to university...

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised
their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to
"Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross."

The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The
last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards" They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the frontline in the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels
remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose".

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy
can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies, just in case.

New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!".
Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the air force being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "Shit, I hope Australia will come
and rescue us".

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, mate". Three more escalation levels remain, "Crikey!," "I think we'll need to cancel
the barbie this weekend," and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has
ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

There's my contribution. Did I do it right?

Ahahahahhah - thanks for sharing that XD

I'd have to say that the OP was pretty good for me... though I only wish I had weapons Got a nice stack of weights though. I'd further that we're polarised between those with a complete lack of ability to get into a relationship, and those scornful of the first group. There is no in-between allowed here.

Whiny twenty-something virgins having decided that it's better for them to be alone for the rest of their lives just because they haven't been successful the two or three times they've actually tried

Oh this isn't going to end well... We're doing stereotypes here, right? Not things that are actually true?

No, you didn't

Listens to metal, thinks that they are smarter than the average population while continuously under achieving, very limited number of friends but tries to rationalize it by saying everyone else is stupid and that they're close to their friends than most people would be close to someone...

too harsh?

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Well this site is full of gamers so we could all be labeled with the typical gamer stereotype of being hopeless virgins who stay inside all the time and love porn and anime (I hate anime). And cynical atheist elitists (though this one excludes me) who love weapons and are too smart for all of our peers in our schools.

Modern Warfare 2 haters?

 

[Ekonk]

HAH! I LISTEN TO NO METAL! YOU HAVE ALL FAILED.

I'd say VALVe/Bioware fanboys.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Elitist metalheads.

Don't forget democrat atheists as well! Cause that sums up A LOT of users

Eh, pretensious is the biggest word that comes to mind. Intellectual superstar wannabes too, but at least they're funny. Also, judgemental. Very judgemental.

I'm not above it.
