I was going to mention this myself. Aside from anonymity creating a safehaven for trolls w/o physical consequence, the younger crowd(I'm 26) is feeling more and more entitled and cocky as you say. It makes me just want to drop kick them in the chest. (The imagery makes me laugh every time)
Also, MMOs tend to drag in a crowd that has no life and look to another world to keep them occupied. The lack of contact with real people makes them crave attention akin to the class clown who doesn't mind being the "bad kid" because he likes the attention he gets from it(better than nothing).
Honestly, what people really need is to get a gym membership and get laid regularly. Also, they need to get a damn job. I admit that I love MMOs(big gamer in general) and choose to spend my free time playing games but I don't forget the real world and all it's pleasures and responsibilities.
1) It's funny, and has nothing to do with cockiness or entitlement. Look them up.
2)It does draw them in, in what world does that mean it's the majority or the only group there?
3)Take Psychology 101, this is based on case studies and again, based on a specific group that even the OP is talking about. It's not off topic.
4)That, I admit was just based on generalization of MMO population, but in a lot of cases not wrong. I work at a college and an entire floor of one of our buildings has been colonized by these type of people (who don't actually attend this college btw, they use it for the free wifi for their gaming groups and are here from the time i come in in the morning and are there when i leave so must coincidentally work overnight shifts). I see them daily.
5)Refer to number 4.
6) how much of an idiot do you have to be to argue about generalization and then have the nerve to accuse me of being like those spoiled brats by generalization that I'm a gamer? Really? Let me guess, all people who watch Anime must also be "Otaku" that wear tails and school girl outfits?
I completely agree that some people don't know what they're talking about.
