IF your channel is called something like "The Gentleman Wargamer" you absolutely must be a dapper melon farmer! I'm talking full on suit, tie, maybe a three piece suit. A proper cocktail (made from whiskey, not vodka) in a proper drinking apparatus. Maybe a cigar if you're up for that kind of thing. NO FETHING FEDORAS THOUGH!!!!!!!! (I cannot put enough exclamation points on this one)

A fedora is actually an appropriate accessory to a business suit, although a gentleman wouldn't be wearing a hat indoors.

This is true.... perhaps a bit of showmanship is in order... each video begins with an "entrance" of sorts, the gamers are wearing their hats, make proper introductions and etiquette, then remove their head coverings and truly begin the show.

I'd associate it more with a strip club or topless bar.

You're also excluding a female audience.

Terrible name for a gaming channel.

Many others have expressed similar concerns...

But I think this might be Bob's (nod to kronk) exact point, based on what I've seen from a sadly common number of the male tabletop mini gamers in this region... "Tee hee, We're tots a 'Gentleman's Club"! Aren't we edgy?1?11!! We're all dude-bros and no girlz play mini games that we've ever seen, except that one time we creeped and harassed that one girl till she disappeared. That's what you do at a strip bar, right? Titteeeessss!"

If that's the image you want, then you do have a built in audience, sadly.

There's also the total sarcastic take with the suit and fedora, to which I offer a graceful curtsy, smirk and wink, holding a paper curled mustache to my upper lip. In other words, that's amusing to the snarky crowd, but would likely go right over Bob's head... It might be a bit of a gamble, but could work.

Edit- correct a typo because I type good and read some additional responses in the interim.
