Actually Bolivar getting a young singer isn't actually that bad. The only stereotype that really holds true is that the vast majority of people who play rpg's are teenagers and people in their early 20's. So getting a singer who those individuals may listen to is a pretty good p.r. move. The comic book statement may of rang true ten or fifteen years ago before video games really took off. But these days gamers are so diversified that you will find people in practically every avenue you look at who likes to play video games.
