- chillwaves 6y agoShe is clearly a gamer if words have meaning.
- bcassedy 6y agoWords only have meaning because of the way people use them. See how the meaning of "literally" has changed in the last decade for an example. To most people the term gamer does not precisely mean "one who plays games." The type of games and immersion in gaming culture are factors that people consider when labeling themselves and others "gamers."
- ido 6y agoShe wouldn't consider herself a gamer. I wouldn't in the sense that it's not an identity for her (I wouldn't say "gamer" = player just like a film buff isn't "someone that watches a lot of TV"). Like she wouldn't buy a "gaming chair" or any other gamer-branded/oriented merch nor are the games something she talks about much.
