We, the cRPG community, have all at one point had an experience, good or bad, with a vast amount of people from different cultures, and countries and all thanks to a game. We have all had(or still have)more or less a rather generalized opinion about certain countries, which in itself is very interesting as it is usually based on some truth. So the topic is: Have your opinions changed about certain nationalities since you started playing cRPG? I think it will be easier to answer if you are fairly new to the community as oldmy old friends most likely forgot about their original opinion but lately I must say some folks have grown on me whom I previously had a rather stereotypical or negative view about. For example turks! I love their food and the people have an innate sense of humour(badly translated to English however
). They are also usually very polite in Teamspeak as well.
That wasn't always the case however. Most Swedes have a very generalized view on some nationalities, especially the ones in the Middle East. They have a very nonchalant view about other cultures and usually think they are better. This however is pretty common with Swedes as we are usually proud about being Swedes, whether in secret or openly it always shows in what we do or say.
Anyway, I would just like to start a discussion about what observations people on the internet have about other nationalities.
Apart from above mentioned topic, what do you think about different groups of people after interacting with them on the internet? Don't be afraid to say something that might be seen as stereotypical because that's what we're here to sort out!
Personally I must say that Germans usually strike me to have this slightly arrogant and superior attitudes. Maybe not so strange considering the word "besserwisser" which directly translated means better-knower. Basically a smartass.
Is it just me
?
