I don't feel offended if I'm labeled as an addict even though they stereotype me, it's up to them to judge and assume, because we all humans have brains to judge someone as good and bad, besides most of my friends they gamble, regardless of whether they are addicted or not, it's all in the judgment of themselves and their environment.

I think we are offended or not depends on where we live, for example: living in Las Vegas, no one says we are addicted, instead they say we are professional gamblers and humans are great at gambling. even live in saudi arabia, now they think they are experts in gambling, if they see us active in gambling.
