I keep seeing this claim of "everyone acts like it's a problem", and I just do not see this in the world.
Who are these people that think it's a problem of you?
I'm a 40-something guy living in a major city. My anecdote is that it's the small small minority of times I've mentioned gaming while out at a bar, or chit chatting at a holiday party, where someone didn't immediately ask "Oh what games?!" with interest. People of all ages, genders, races, and creeds are earnestly interested if the topic comes up.
My fuckin dentist got into a discussion with me about the merits of various tower defense games, and I only ever see him twice a year to have 1.5-sided conversations.
I mean, when I say "everyone", I mean everyone around me. People I know. Even then, it's not necessarily "everyone". Just enough people for it to be annoying.
