There is a simple answer for that....they ridicule us because they tried to learn how to play dancing games, and they SUCKED!

People are just jealous that were better than them at something so they make fun of us for it. Like at my school, the nerds are treated like crap because they are smart and have futures. I really wish I didn't live in a neighborhood where everybody is a drug atic

I have been playing for over a year now, and have yet to have this problem. No one at my arcade does. Everyone who sees us play either watches all amazed or it makes them want to try it. Thatâs probably why we have so many n00bs playing all the time.

many people always ask me "Why do you waste your money on DDR?"

I simply ask "Why do you waste money on (insert any activity the person pays for here)?" That usually shuts them up.

i agree with the theory about how no one mocks you by themselves but to showoff in front of their friends.
Honestly what's there to show off? That d*ck for a head you have?

It's like... REVENGE OF THE NERDS!! LOLZ! Seriously though, In my arcade, at least, you have the preppy girls + the wigger dudes VS. The arcade kids. The wigger kids always act like they don't know what rules are, and make fun of us, while we either ignore it, chase them off, or counter them with something cool. Of course, we may seem like a bunch of scrawny videogame nerds, but I'm sure half of us could easily take them on, but will we? No, because our mentality owns theirs three times around! Nerds rule.

Holy stereotypes batman.

Let me first point out to you that your generalizations make you sound ignorant. Secondly, people make fun of us because we look ridiculous. We are put "On stage" almost by where the machine is placed in arcades or movie theatres. Many places use ddr machines and good players to draw people into an arcade from a mall. We are the freakshow. Deal with it.

It is basic marketing to help an arcade. People, that's right not just teenagers ( which i am one, being 18 ), will always make fun of anyone who walks out of an arcade/movie theatre sweaty. It really isn't a common site.

Also, have you seen yourself or anyone else on a machine? You look absurd.

I like DDR but you can't expect everyone to like it, nor can you make stereotypes.

Thank you and goodnight.

Does someone have the video of that anime club shadowing Sakura on Heavy?

Because I honestly think that'll shut a bunch of people up about the "DDR doesn't look stupid!" comments. Playing DDR DOES look stupid. So does playing any other dancing game, but we play it for the fact we find it fun and don't care how stupid we look in public. If you're too self conscious to not play in public because you'll "look stupid" then you really have no business playing DDR.
