Well, there's a reasonably good probability that your stereotypes will be wrong 50% of the time. If you act on the stereotype, you're dumb. Decision rules only work well with strong measurable correlations that are constantly updated.
I think you are possibly too easily influenced by advertising. My assertion is based on the strong correlation between your generalizations and the reluctance to look for exceptions. Even though I am a moderate conservative, your unchallenged cognitive biases are the main reason that I hold you in such low regard.
In some cases, that reason would be correct. Other times, stereotypes are inaccurate and baseless. But let's say it's true that most gamers are weak and pathetic (whatever you even mean by that, you didn't specify). It still doesn't make sense to focus on gamers for that reason. It would make sense to focus on all people who are weak and pathetic. The fact that you see those who smoke and drink too much as better because you think they're manlier, only undermines your already pathetic reasons.
"I just hate gamers."
That one line just proves what I suspected: you have no reasons. You only have petty, irrational emotions. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to sway you and have you agree with me, so don't worry about replying to me. I'm just telling you a fact: you're wrong. Do whatever you want with that knowledge. Be in denial, try to justify yourself, block me, agree with me, whatever. I'm finished, I got the information (or should I say lack of information?) I wanted.
Listen. I hate whoever I want as long as I cause no harm to them. I don't need you to explain why I hate them or why I shouldn't hate them. It's my choice to despise them and my choice to hang out with people who aren't gamers. I don't need any of these explanations. I don't want any of these conversations, I don't want any gamer white knightes proving me how noble gaming is, I don't want anybody to tell me any of this "you're so wrong".
To exemplify, Europe is flooded with beheaded people who used to tell each other "you're so wrong for being racist because facts show..." *muslim bomb explodes* and we're all fucking dead. This non-judgemental approach that "not all are like this" automatically places you in danger. This was only an example. But the truth is that ALL the gamers I know are pathetic and frustrated and hate to listen and talk trash being people's backs and lack serious development, which can be easily linked to this because it discourages people from becoming mature by frustratingly playing and swearing each other and acting like lunatics.
Now, I have the utmost respect for the gamers who don't let this replace their daily lives and alter their personalities, and I find that admirable in some ways. However, to avoid all the headache, I avoid all gamers, because I can live with the fact that I also miss some of the few respectable ones. They're not what I really need in my personal life anyways. You can judge me for this or not, that's your choice. But I had enough toxic people who happen (or not) to be gamers as well, and I noticed some links that I never want to see in my life again.
I am not attacking you here and I don't care if you think my reasons are pathetic. I don't need any preaching on this topic. Peace.
What are the worst types of people?

I see. I just wanted to know if there was any sort of logical reasoning behind that statement. I have my answer, thanks.

You might think there isn't, but stereotypes exist for a reason, and the reason is that they reflect a big proportion of the population.

Your testable hypothesis sounds plausible but speculative.
