I think the most cringe-inducing part of video games is how people react so reflexively in their defense. Tell boys that gaming looks, feels, and embodies the wastage of their time and life and they'll flood you with all kinds of rationales and excuses for why actually it's great or they don't care at all about impressing anyone.
It's disgusting to me because we're a DIRECT REFLECTION of the whores we despise when we tell them "hey women? Stop having pointless sex with strangers, sugaring, and stripping on onlyfans if you want to ever be happy in life and have a family"
You'll get 10,000 retweets of feminists & whores shrieking "IF A MAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT ME WITH AN ONLYFANS ID RATHER DIE FUCKING SINGLE"
the boys laugh at their stupidity, their arrogance in their self destruction, only to to say the same thing when the old men tell us gaming adds a whole lot of drag if you want to have a fruitful family life.
"WELL I'D RATHER DIE FUCKING SINGLE AND HAPPY WITH MY STEAM LIBRARY THAN GIVE IT UP FOR SOME STUCK UP ROASTIE WHO HATES MEN HAVING HOBBIES"
