Why do many gamers put their race or nationality in their username?

"Blackgamer9574"
"MexicanSniper749"
"DaBadassWhiteBoy69"
"420AsianStoner"

Do you want a cookie?!

So lame...

May be they have some inferiority complex. Either way, they are mentally retards for me.

 

[Zlad]

I think it's ok

 

[Kingu]

Because of a phrase that we all fear, the phrase that will shatter your hopes and dream. "Username in use."

 

[Arian]

its the same as with their nationality. really, like its something to be proud of, wtf?

Turkishwarrior93
AmericanSniper55
brasilelitefighter

etc....

actually there are psychological reasons for this. its group dynamic and scientifically kinda proven. you can take a room of 20 people and split them into 2 groups without any meaning, and they will feel entitled and related to their own group, despite the fact, that they only are in that said group by chance. theyll also rate their own group as superior and better and the right one....


the same could be said about nationality and race and religion. (while you also add nostalgic/upbringing factors...)

 

[awesomeseimei]

Well, maybe they can't think of anything else. Many people use their names and/or dates of birth for email addresses etc.

When you're 12 and wanna be cool.

It implies some sort of privilege that goes along with said race or nationality. It's kinda like "girl gamers" or "tits or GTFO"

You are on the internet , is a member of a forum and still claim such garbage?

Am i stationed at the Stone Age or is this despicable child really trying to harass someone for their choosing of username?

 

[Kanino]

Eh maybe when you are tired of trying different usernames that are not taken so you come up with the dumbest thing you can think of. This is not important

I hope mine rustles you: dreamingreality2

 

[GreyWizard93]

What is lame is when it's drug related like smokeweed19. Like it's cool when really it's quite pathetic. Nationality may just be that they are proud of what they are

 

[Steaktacular]

I get what you're saying and all but you know what's worse? People who give two shits about that.

This .

 

[JStar King]

That question can always be asked for certain things. For instance:

Why is it when you take an important test like the SATs or ACTs, they ask you about race?

(I heard everyone who checks white/caucasian gets extra points. If true. That is sad)

 

[Ansatsuken]

They want to bring fame to their country or race if they win

 

[Оdin]

The good ones are taken.

 

[ArabianLuffy]

ArabianLuffy. A username I came with in 2008 to register to forums dedicated to One Piece. Just being a fan of Luffy and Arabian due to Alabasta arc (Arabasta in Kaizoku-Fansubs translation) in One Piece where the StrawHats wear Arabian clothes.

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

... and so -- in 2010 I registered to PSN using the same username at forums. I wish I could edit my PSN username to something not affiliated to country, tribe or religion.
