What are some DDR stereotypes that piss you off?

Too many people believe that DDR is a game that's just "fun" it's not just fun...it requires a lot of physical endurance and skill to go on heavy or whatnot.

I play sports and I'm still not fit enough to play DDR 30 minutes straight.

Alot of DDR stereotypes, I have found, come from 2 sources:

1) People who have tried to play at some point, but failed miserably.

2) People who don't understand the game and need it explained to them by some noob who can't even clear Dam Dariram beginner mode, but still manages to draw a crowd of 50 people..

~Girls can't play as well as guys do.

Give me a break. My DDR team consists of 5 or more girls. *lost count ><;;* and a least 3 of us could kill any guy we know on DDR.

Sure, more guys play than girls.

SEEMINGLY. I could ramble on all day about all the girls I know who play DDR, although I can name a few guys who we tried to get to play DDR, I can't name more than one who can actually play decently off the top of my head. And I'm friends with alot of guys.

A stereotype for DDR...

One of the major one's that piss me off is that people tend to think that anyone who play's DDR is a homosexual. Every male who has ever played this game know's what i'm talking about.

Avoid these assholes if you can.
Ignorant Person: A guy playing a dancing game in a arcade...must be gay.

Stereotypes of non-players
1) Only asians play.
2) Playing DDR is ghey.
3) DDR players have no social life and like anime.

Stereotypes of players
1) Black people play Stomp to my Beat and can't PA.
2) Anyone who plays Butterfly, It's Raining Men, or Love <3 Shine is ghey.
3) Anyone who ever plays light/standard is a noob.
4) Girls and DDR (there are so many of these, it's ridiculous)
5) Age matters (young = immature)

That girls play just so the guys can watch them bounce. Mhmm.. that's why I cross my arms across my chest, keeping it down, so the guys can see...
That girls only play the poppy cute songs. Okay, so I do play a lot of the bouncy ones, like Love <3 Shine and www.BlondeGirl, but I also play R3, Sakura, and Afronova.
I'm slightly miffed about the "All guys who play must be gay" cause I tend to date "DDR Boys". I played in front of my dad for the first time a few months back and he was all "I saw you bouncing on that thing. Are you sure the guys you play with aren't gay?" (I had played Exotic Ethnic, R3, and Sakura... I bounced??) He shut up when I went, "Daddy, I know they aren't gay. Now, will you be quiet so I can concentrate on this, or do you want to try?"

i hate guys that watch me play because i do have big boobs, so usually i also fold my arms over my chest. and then they say stuff like "how are you good at this game i didnt think they had DDR in mexico" and ive heard this with a few of my friends too. me and my friends are mexican, and alot of people say we suck at DDR because we are mexican and we are too stupid and fat to play and stuff. i dont know if anyone else has experienced that but we have ALOT here.

I guess I hate when they assume that I can't play because I'm a girl. I think I call attention to myself period by the way I dress (and stepping on the machine in anything that isn't converse you get stared at too and possibly the being black thing) but it's still kind of rude. Hmm they do assume that asians always have to know how to play too. I haven't seen that many asians play. I guess since where I go it's mostly hispanic people so. . .

I hate it when kids put animation on www.newgrounds.com and www.ebaumsworld.com that say stuff like: DDR is gay and you should die if you're gay and you play ddr cuz you're gay, so die you gay wad.
