Thin privilege is not being too embarrassed to walk into a video game store because you’re scared that people will judge you for perpetuating the stereotype that gamers are fat (and by extension, slobby and ugly).

When I was younger (around 15-16) I went into EB Games, and I overheard a guy nearby snicker to his friend and say, “I told you. All girl gamers are ugly and fat”. Ever since then, I have been wary of going near game stores, on the off chance I am judged for being a negative gamer stereotype.
