"If they play X, then they probably Y." What are some gaming stereotypes you've heard? #gaming

A while back, my roommates claimed that one could accurately guess the personality and quality of an individual based on the game(s) they spend the most time playing. I have no idea if this is possible or remotely accurate.

Since that discussion, I wanted to know more about this which brings me to making this post.

What stereotypes have you heard? What are some lesser known claims? Is there actually any truth behind these? Do you believe these are true/false? Do you resonate with the things said about the people who play your favorite game? Do you consider yourself an exception to the rule? Is it true that some communities are actually more toxic than other communities? Are there any games that you'd consider a red flag in a potential partner? If it's true, is it correlation or causation? Can changing what you play change your behavior/personality?

I want to know more! Bonus points if you have any links to studies or articles that would help quench my curiosity.
