Ah, I see what you're saying. You're right that the game characters are basically a gallery of losers/misfits; a fat lady on a mobility scooter, a homeless guy in a wheelchair, a segway rider. And by including a cyclist (named "irresponsible dad", implying that it is inherently irresponsible to transport a child by bike) the game designer is perpetuating the dork/loser cyclist stereotype. Kind of like what Caretaker was implying about gamers being spotty faced freaks.

I wasn't saying that you should participate in gaming, or even accept gaming culture; just that your stereotype is ridiculously outdated and inaccurate.
