I dont care how much you make, especially if thats your only source of income

Imagine going to your girlfriends house and her dad asks you what do you do for a living? And you say you play fucking video games.

No shame in making money playing video games. If some stuck up idiot thinks otherwise that's his problem.

Its not even full of your stereotypical nerds either, like the vast majority of pro esports players I have seen are at least average looking dudes whod have no trouble finding a girl, and honestly almost none of them are even overweight. Its kinda surprising

Its only embarrassing if its your primary source of income and not enough to reasonably live off.

If someone is making a decent living off it, I think it would be probably be more of a talking point than anything. Wait, you make how much playing video games?

Once upon a time, it was probably seen as a bit foolish for making a living off hitting a ball with a stick. Times change as things become more mainstream.

This sounds like one of those old people who are stuck in their ways and after high school, they got themselves a shitty job that they never attempted to leave and just decided that life was being unfair to them, and rather than be happy for other people who are doing something that they love, they get all jealous because they never took a chance to better themselves.

Well, if it's your parents or your girlfriend's parents, they don't get get it and want you to be successful so they'll naturally push back. But some rando on the street who also doesn't get it doesn't really care if you're successful so it's more of a novelty to them.

A very successful pro gamer/pro twitch streamer came into my office when I worked for a doctor

He seemed to live a sad life. His only friends were his personal chef and his subscribers. Other than that he said he played games 16 hours a day, every day. But he did have a few million dollars in the bank

Assuming he made a lot of money, who cares?

imagine telling your girlfriends dad i am a proctologist (meaning you look at butt holes and touch them for a living) or a urologist (the same but with penises) or a dentist (mouths), the reaction is ooh prestigious, a doctor!
