I live in the U.S., and honestly, the anti-videogame stigma is mostly in the heads of gamers. Every now and then you'll get an aging politician who tries something, but that's just pandering to the elderly, who comprise the largest voting block that actually votes. I mean, Leland Yee is the guy behind the California bill, and he's as old as dirt. Just about everyone under the age of 30 plays games, and there are plenty of people over that age who play as well.
I'm even going to a LAN party tomorrow, which is being thrown by a local Southern Baptist church -- the Southern Baptists being one of those "evangelical" groups you occasionally hear about on the news. If a church as conservative as that is willing to throw a LAN party just for the heck of it -- and it is just for the heck of it, I went to the last one and the only thing religious about it was a quick blessing over the pizza -- you start to wonder where gamers get the idea that everyone is out to get them, and also why they're so defensive.
