Why would anyone be embarassed to wearing gaming t-shirts? Hell, gaming and anime t-shirts are all I wear outside of work, and even then, I have my t-shirt beneath my work clothes so the moment I'm done for the day, I can real comfortable clothes again.

idk, because they have a sense of shame? >_> Granted, if it's just a logo, it's not much different from any other t-shirt. I have a Gears of War tee simply because I like the logo.

If you're good looking, it might be charming but if you're a 30 year old neckbeard walking around costco with your mom, then it might not be the best thing to wear.

I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of per se. If you carry it well, then go ahead. But I do have reservations on when and where I wear certain styles, cut and colours of clothing.

I didn't know people were embarrassed wearing them. I wear them all the time. And get compliments. Matter of fact, I wear them to my weekly Shadowrun game. And one of the guys even said gamers always have the best shirts. Amate some people really embarrassed by it? I've never seen it...

That's all clothes, though. Certain colors not matching with other clothes or you skin tone, certain styles of shirts and pants, etc... That's like normal clothing issues...

That's the point. And gaming shirts aren't any different. I don't think anyone needs to feel ashamed of the gaming shirts they wear. However, like I said, perhaps the factor of shame comes from when and where he chooses to wear said shirts.

I'm not embarassed by any shirts I own. Hell, I bought them. I don't own many gaming shirts, but among others, I have:

Carol Corps (Captain Marvel)
Finn & Flame Princess (Adventure Time)
Black Panther (Loot Crate)
kawaii Revenant (The Secret World; sadly, it's just a little too small across shoulders)
"Some Chicks Marry Chicks" shirt
Robot Chicken Star Wars shirt (another too small)

The only thing I'll say is that I've gotten used to wearing Hanes t's at work, and I've come to greatly prefer that kind of cotton. It's a very smooth, soft weave, and a lot of these others aren't, I'm guessing because it's too expensive or doesn't hold decoration well.

This.

How are video game shirts different from shirts with sports, TV shows, movies, books/comics, bands, etc. designs?

Careful Susan, don't let him slide in those dms. ;)

But yeah for me it really depends on the design. I used to wear t shirts that at the time I thought were cool but looking back I'm like damn some of those were cringy. Some were legit cool though and I still have but don't fit in. Very few were gaming related. I always get gamer shirts or t shirts as gifts and I'm like you realize I'll never wear this shirt that says "I paused my game to be here"

I've got a shirt from Penny-Arcade that says "It's Super-Effective!" in old-school font.
An Adventure Time shirt with Finn and Jake fist-bumping
A Stan Lee shirt where he's drawn wearing The Watcher's outfit
A VGCats "Eat, Sleep, Breathe, Videogames" shirt where it's designed to look like the Attacks menu in Pokemon
Steven Universe's shirt with the star

Oh god, shirts like those are the worst (in general, they don't have to be gaming-related). I realized pretty quickly that I don't like those, though; I'm talking in middle or early high school. I had to tell my mom either to stop buying t-shirts for me or just get plain, solid-color ones. Those stupid sarcastic slogan shirts are like 100x more cringey than a shirt that just has a symbol from a video game.

I like the shirts I have. My favorite video games shirt it probably one with Link on it. But he's made from the environment of the first game. Like the green for his tunic was made from the green rocks in the game. Or his skin was made from the sand/ground in the game. I like that one...

I think with my beer belly, me in T-shirts in general just looks odd. Plus I tend to be a polo short and khakis type of guy. T-shirts and khakis for some reason don't seem to mix well for me. Still, there are times I'll wear gaming T-shirts if the situation calls for it (i.e. watching a certain movie, attending a video game tournament, etc.)

This is a good point. You can pull it off if you're wearing it 'cause it's quirky and references pop culture, like a Super Mario shirt or sonething.

But wearing a t shirt for an obscure game because you think it's TEH BEST GAME EVAR is cringe af.

I have a tank with Eevee, a regular Darkrai (who I think is a cool pokemon),a regular Mew (from Hot Topic) that's a few years old, and a Kingdom Hearts shirt. I get tons of compliments on the Mew shirt, even though I'm way past the age where anyone might consider me a gamer (I'm in my late 50s). I even get compliments on the Kingdom Hearts shirt (since it has Sora, Mickey, Donald and Goofy) most of the time from people with little kids since the kids are attracted to the Disney characters.

First off, the poll only gives you two possibilities of why you don't wear them in public. If you only ever wear t-shirts around the house, but you own some video game related ones, you're stuck with voting that you're embarrassed to wear them in public.
