that we memorize fast songs. i've lost count of how many times someone has asked the exact same question "Do you like, memorize the song?" and yeah. it's the exact same quote from at least 30 people

one that gets on my last nerve is when if you play and your black, latino, whatever...people call you crazy n stuff. like one day i was playing sexy planet (oni version) and a group of black people came by and watched me play they looked at me like i was a fuggin nerd after i finished and said i was an "oreo" (black dude who "acts" white) people take this into a racial thing from azns to white people and its really stupid.

Considering that I'm black, I've never recieved that from any of those ghetto bastards that come in the arcade that I play at. If someone calls me that I swear I'll punch their teeth in. 
But then again I might take that as a compliment, because I'd never want to act "black" anyway. 
at any rate I'd like to be considered oreo cookie with a yellow filling!!! I think that suits me better. 
Another stereotype that really pisses me off is the one about only teens playing DDR. I am absolutely not a teen. I'm in my mid-20's for crying out loud.

hmm I'm black and I've never really heard this before. (Maybe it's because I'm a girl, I don't know) hmm I do get white guys who are usually older telling me that I need to get a life because I'm too good at the game (I guess they assume I don't do anything else, oh well) |

For once I agree with you.
I hate the only teens play stereotype too. I'm only 10 (almost 11) for crying out loud.
I also hate the anyone under 15 can't do Heavy mode and suck at DDR. I can pass DXY with a B and CSFILSM with an A on Heavy kthx. The people who mainly support the stereotype are people who try to act cool on light.
That's it...... for now. |

Being Filipino myself, I get irritated that people immediately think I'm only good at DDR just because I'm asian. It's happened to me quite often at my University. I'll be playing in the lobby, and someone will say, you're only good because you're asian.
Another stereotype that irritates me is that "I'm a girl, so I can't do too well." Everytime I try introducing a girl to the game they'll write it off as being too hard because they are female. Come on, no one is good the first time.
And of course, I laugh everytime someone says DDR teaches how to dance. It teaches 4-directional coordination, but not dancing. |
Even though I'm not Asian some people at my arcade (not going to mention names ) are stupid... If for example I play a 10 they go
"Oh no he's going into Asian mode"....
Fucking idiots... |
Alot of asians are good at DDR. That's just a truth. It was big in Japan first, so you see alot of asians playing it. It shouldn't make you mad. |

How ironic that you're stereotyping in a thread devoted to venting about stereotypes. |

I dont' tolerate stereotypes at school, so why should I do so in the arcade? Although I have yet to be called a degrading name such as DDR + Guy = gay, if anyone did something of that nature, I would, in my infinite wisdom , return with such a retort as to force them to leave the arcade in tears.

I didn't say all Asians are good. I just said alot of them are. It's just the truth. Steryotyping is asumeing something that isn't true. YOU SEE ALOT OF ASIANS PLAYING DDR!!! You don't have to get mad becuase of it. |

 Nice little series there. Besides, who says we're getting mad about it? He was just pointing out the irony. Also, I don't see a lot of asians playing DDR. I've seen about 11 total. Out of the masses of asians in the world, that doesn't seem like much.

1- I'm not mad... just amused, because:
2- You ARE assuming something that's not true
3- And no, I DON'T see a lot of asians playing DDR. In fact, at the places I normally play at, I can only think of three, and oddly enough, they're among the few players there who aren't even better than I am. |

That's kind of funny. I've only seen a few asians play. only one of them was actually good at it and could hold up their combo past 100. |
