I recall around two years ago I used to play Minecraft a huge amount of the time (much more than now) and it was for the most part regarded as a nerdy, childish game to play, (probably because it wasn't Call of Duty). Nevertheless, I was never really called out for liking it or playing it, most particularly in a hostile manner. This was probably because I seldom ever mentioned I played it, but I do remember a lot less people played it back then, so it was less 'socially acceptable', I guess you could call it.
In more recent light, it appears the population of Minecraft has exploded and now a lot more people who attend my school play it on a regular basis. Meaning the hate and annoyance caused by it by haters has died down and for the most part been reduced to "Minecraft is (insert f word here) stupid" and nothing more. And still to this day I don't really mention I play it unless asked. I feel like this is the only way I've kept safe from insults over the past few years.
But then again maybe it is because most people at my school are generally kind and the school itself has a benevolent disposition and environment.
