Why has it become normalized for grown men to spend a lot of their life playing video games? Some of these men have even foregone reality for the pleasures of a fantasy world. Is it due to all the soy that these ''men'' are drinking? Is it estrogen in the water? The lack of father figure? The lack of stimulating real life goals? The lack of meaningful relationships?

Because they need escapism from the betrayal that lurks outside

Because it's f***ing cold outside, and aside from meth, there isn't anything else to do in this town.

>Betrayal
The world doesn't owe you anything, snowflake.

>The lack of stimulating real life goals? The lack of meaningful relationships?
Probably.
My #1 goal in life is to eventually have enough passive income to be able to play vidyas all day. But I'm too busy playing vidyas to make it happen.

Because these things never existed before. People play video games because its currently the best form of escapism. People want to escape reality. There is nothing to do outside and its freezing fucking cold. I dont play video games anymore but thats why i did

Then I don't owe the world anything snowflake.

then the world doesn't need the men that choose to play video games instead of interact with this shit world with shit people

Just give it a fucking rest already. People spend their free time anyway they want to.
Men and women like had always had hobbies that consumed their free time, on e way or another. You’re only posting that shite here because you know the demographic. If it was a modelling or any other time of forum, you would be posting the same shite.
Let people enjoy themselves how they want to.
It’s not like our everyday life is not hard enough already, we have to have hacks like you telling us to quit our hobbies. And do what instead? Start a local forum and look into the community’s problem?
Right. Because the normies that don’t spend their time at pointless hobbies will be really up for that

A generation of men raised by feminists and weak men has created people who would much rather escape reality than face it.

Hurr durr I read a word on twitter and thought it was cool

You technically do though. Western civilization is built on self-sacrifice. You contribute to the society you grew up in and leave the world a little bit better after you leave. This is how it works. Does that sound too difficult for your little manchild brain? If so, then why are you on Sup Forums? Right wing is about being personally responsible for your actions.

I played video games when I was like 10. A little more when I was in college. After college, never. We have consoles but nobody uses them because THATS NOT HOW NORMAL ADULTS SPEND THEIR TIME.

Then society should give me something back in return. If it doesn't I'm not sacrificing. The world is built on social contract.

>Let people enjoy themselves how they want to.
Nice soyboy logic. REEEEEEEE let me do whatever I want! I don't want to grow up! WAAAAAAAAAAH

By your logic it should be okay to shoot up heroine or for a white women to have an orgy with a bunch of niggers.

yes, normal adults spend their time SHITPOSTING ON Sup Forums

good job

Gaming really started taking off in the 80s.
Now that these cunts are all 30-40-50-60 years old, gaming is the norm.

Simple as that.


Hopefully millennials find this uncool and fuck off away from our online games.

Sick of these faggots.

Capitalism's consumerism and materialism to keep him domesticated, for once(porn, games, Netflix,weed, burgers etc.)
Marxism in universities shaming white males for their history , making them either quit society or submit.
No reason to live, no purpose, no family , no nation , no pride=total nihilism. And the kikes prosper

The best solution to fight capitalism and socialism , and to reawaken the man back to his primal state is fascism .

Earth is flat. That is the key to all this.
Everything you know is a lie.

You Canuckcuks are the best. Always have an excuse for acting the faggot.

Contribute to a society that never wanted me in the first place? Why would I do that? Why would I bother bettering the world when I never got to experience anything that would give me hope for the future. Its pointless for me so I will stick to my manchildness if that's what you want to call it while you bitch that we are too weak and you are so superior

where is his dick???

Its mostly a waste of time, bit at least it's a good distraction for when you want to play with yourself irl

>Then society should give me something back in return.
This is childish logic. The world (and the society) doesn't you owe anything however despite this society does reward you for your contribution(s). For example if you have skills and knowledge you can go to a job and get paid or you can start a business that provides value to other people within that society and you also get rewarded in the form of money.

If everybody had your mentality then our ancestors wouldn't have tried and we wouldn't have been here. You have to try and make this world a better place, user. This is how we move forward and create a better world for our grandkids.

This thread is made every. Damn. Day.

It's just an activity though

A broken culture, broken families and a future of more of the same encourages escapisim.

the real question is, why do people care about manchildren? It's like you Dont want eugenics to kick in and cleanse the filth from this world. this has the added effect of removing unwanted vag-genes from the pool as well further purifying the gene pool.

What exactly would you do when its this cold? Go skiing?

and if everyone had your mentality we'd all live lives of misery because nobody would complain about anything. Nobody would think to improve things.

It's sad. Don't blame soy though. It's just the combination of an easy life (material wealth and standard of living can be taken for granted) and the fact that vidya is really fun and addictive, especially for smart introspective types.

>Contribute to a society that never wanted me in the first place?
This is not true. Society neither wants you or doesn't want you. It's neutral towards you. Your goal is to make the world a little better by whatever little contribution you can make.

Also you create the hope for the future. If everbody was a nihilist like you, everything would collapse and burn.

Society dosen't owe people shit, but it used to have basic guidelines to moderate success.

>everything would collapse and burn

welcome to 2018

Because I'm a girl and have dated guys and have a brother who is a manchild. Some of my cousins are also manchildren. So I care because it's a reality rhat I am faced with. Why do guys blame white women for all the world's problems but never can handle any criticism back. White manchildren are contributing to the destruction of the white race.

Why was it normal for grown men to hang out at bars? Or go bowling? Or golfing? Or play poker?

Same shit, new generation.

I stopped played computer games heavily into my early 20's and slowed down after that.

By the time I was 30 I almost never played games.

Plenty of dudes my age still play games and only 1 or 2 of them are able to hold a decent conversation.

Most blokes (read: boys) these days are sheltered snowflakes with no real purpose other than "get money, get paid, play games and maybe get laid but probably not this month."

Fuck dat...

>This

These are all arbitrarily chosen meaningless activities

>the world doesn't owe you anything, but you owe it something
nah, i didn't choose to be born, fuck off

Fuck off, kike.

it's all of that stuff

The thing is, the phenomenon is dysgenic
White men with high iq are playing vidya when they get back home from their engineering job while normie chad back from his sales job and the nogs who live off government gibbs are getting all the action

Those are all perfectly normal real world social activities, in comparison gaming promotes isolation and bad health.

because real life sucks!
all the hate, racism, you name it!
life sucks!!!!

If society owes you nothing why do I owe society something?

because building shit in factorio nets more dopamine than being a man in 2017

It's got to be a thesis or some kind of government or university research project.
It's been going on so long personally I think a very high level think tank is behind the threads.

It's dumb though because they have already blamed video games; it's right their in the OP post.

Listen to the university or think tank behind it, VIDEO GAMES are a SYMPTOM, not the cause.
Image board culture, anime, hedonism, drug abuse & nihilism. White men are walking out on their societies to various degrees, ask yourself why and DO NOT BLAME VIDEO GAMES.

>Men complain that society gives them a completely shit deal
>Get told the world doesn't owe them jack
>Men comment that if the world isn't going to reciprocate, they aren't going to sacrifice.
>Kikes lose their shit.

Ahahaha get fucked.

hey Owen

In the 19th century men used to develop new mathematics in their spare time.

Why aren't men number theorists anymore pol?

Why isn't the world anything like the 19th century?

tx: GO BACK TO WORK AND PAY YOUR TAXES WHITE MAN, HOW ELSE WILL WE GET OUR ENTITLEMENTS IF THE ONLY DEMOGRAPHIC THAT PAYS TAXES DOESN'T WORK? WTF.

No, it's just the logical conclusion of a society that saturates itself with entertainment. Do you really think video games are any different from watching football or movies?

(((why)))

>Capitalism

Literally marxism-tier economics, and thus below the acceptable floor of ideologies, leftist.

The pleasures of the fantasy world are welcome to all. Reality, on the other hand, is a zero sum game that necessitates losers in order to prop up the winners.

You don't.
I could 'play ball' with a 1950's American society or even 'Australia 1980 version'.
Why? Because those societies still offered me a fairly secure job, a fairly secure family and a fairly secure life.

My society dose not offer me much of that any more, so I am not very inclined to offer my society much in return.

>Those are all perfectly normal real world social activities
What defines perfectly normal? Online video games are a social activity.

This conversation is not relevant.

This. I think it's coming apart and at the top people are so fucking shit scared of white men abandoning the system.

Because it's an enjoyable experience.
Why has it become normalized for grown adults to spend a lot of their life watching TV/gambling in a casino? Some of these adults have even forgone their homes, spouses, and families for the pleasures of a casino, strip club, television, etc.
Is it due to all the soy that these "adults" are drinking? Is it estrogen in the water? The lack of a father figure? The lack of stimulating life goals? The lack of meaningful relationships?

With video games, you can at least still have a semblence of a social life with the other people online.

If you ask me, playing games is better than sitting your fat ass in front of the fucking TV and turning off your brain for six hours before going to bed, getting up, and doing some menial work for a few hours before resuming the same thing.

The only people who think -everyone- who plays video games above the age of 13 are old faggots who don't realize they do the same exact thing by sitting in front of their television screens all day.

You want people to work? They need an incentive. Keep trying your feminist shaming tactics though, they work sooooo well.

Video games are high tech. They stimulate the brain.

Soy?? No. Its a pampered privilaged middle class issue. One where the man child lives with parents goes to college maybe has a part time job(alot of them dont even do this) in the hopes that he will be getting his bachelors degree in arr or some shit and make the big bucks being a good artist or something. Or maybe programming or something involving making video games but cant come to terms with the fact he is addicted to playing video games, he sure as hell isnt addicted to the hard work of making them or designing a story for them. These men never felt an ounce of stress in their sheltered lives given to them by their baby boomer parents. You got to realise video games mmorpg in particular are like full time jobs. Theres no strain in going out mining for hours because instead of swinging a real live pickaxe and sweating your ass off doing heavy lifting and dealing with hard weather conditions your just clicking a mouse button to mine. You save a damsel in distress by clicking on the mouse. Get a kiss and laid that way too. You never really know what its like to be challenged. Theres no competition involved the competition is who can sit on ass and click the longest or set up best bot. Then these men will have occasional depression episodes or bipolar issues and take some shitty phsych med making them even more soft

No. Gaming much like social media is not 'pseudo-socializing' you are socializing technically but it's done in isolation which is useless.

You don't need to be a genius to realize that capitalist is to blame for today's decadence and degeneracy. Both socialism and capitalism destroy national identity.

Capitalism is a social disease that destroys culture, tradition and ethnic groups so that new markets can be opened up and the cheapest labour is available to make the products for those markets.

Socialism (spawned during capitalism) aims to abolish private property, mic all race and cultures and force equality while destroying morals in the process.

The white male dropping out of society is caused by both of these factors. Only fascism can fix this

if white men in 2017 can't handle a female lovingly calling them manchildren or soyboys how will they handle the real world or the hordes of refugees coming into europe?

No typically the guy is bullied or rejected to an extreme amount to the point he withdraws and becomes hikikomori

Because arguably, the real world gives far less thanks and apreciation to your hard work. Video games provide the same feeling of achieving real world goals, thanks to finding the dopamine formula and learning to hit its right buttons, and the online community provides a far more positive environment for the most part. A game rewards you for hard work, coopration, and gives a person milestones that are equally challenging and.doable, while providing just enough of a reward to keep you coming back, yet content. Meanwhile society has far less incentive to cooperate, irregular and sporadic milestones that dont properly appreciate or inspire individuals to hit their next mark. The real world has problems.with no solutions, while the vidya environments problems are designed to be solvable, usually to a degree which requires collective effort, similar to society. The days of pulling together to survive, create, and prosper are over, the society that exists is dog eat dog, and everything is artificial or watered down.

Who wants to deal with your bullshit? Nobody wants a woman they have to "handle"? And it was women holding refugees welcome signs. Why dont you woman up and deal with them yourselves?

I'm so sick of hearing about "LOL VIDEO GAME PLAYAN MANCHILD XDDD" and the people who usually spout this shit do nothing more than sit down in front a fucking television, drink beer, then go out and work some ass-end wageslave job.

I work for eight hours a fucking day, busting my ass in Construction, sometimes longer as needed by the company (I'm reliable for filling in for other people, or for working overtime.)

I have had to go to work at three in the morning on my day off and then get right back into the work week with half a day off several times.

I have the right to spend my fucking free time however the fuck I want.

Stop trying to make me feel ashamed when the alternative of sitting around with your thumb up your ass jerking off and going "hehe im not playan games manchild soyboy xddd" when you're probably less of a fucking man than the hipster faggots you insult.


Sincerely, a pissed off white man who contributes to society by building buildings.

>Why has it become normalized for grown men to spend a lot of their life playing video games?
Because fun is not immature for being fun, and neither are games. Is chess childish? What about digital chess?
>Some of these men have even foregone reality for the pleasures of a fantasy world.
Neo-Marxism will do that to you.
>The lack of stimulating real life goals?
Actually, being a any game, including video game developer/caster/professional gamer is probably going to become more prestigious than sports. Videogame conventions and events require tons of cash, typically derived from geeks and nerds (frequent math and science type thinkers). There is plenty of merit in being good at a videogame.
>The lack of meaningful relationships?
Many women happen to play video games or enjoy watching. My ex girlfriends and my wife blew and blow me, respectively, while I play videogames. It was one of the things that got me a few relationships with qt virgins when I was in high school. That's not even to mention the friendships and networking gained through gaming as well. I got my first job because I had so many references from volunteering at my local gaming convention an hour away in Los Angeles and co-ordinating/managing events that I'm doing really well career wise. I'm 20 and make 60,000 yr. doing IT with great matching for my 403b and 457. I also do IT privately for a few friends' small businesses that I met there as well, and learned IT from some really smart, well to do people. Gaming as a pastime has been wonderful for my professional and personal life. I owe a ton to it.

Besides you virgin, you likely are bitching because you suck at videogames due to too much almond milk and vegetarian food, you fucking soygoy bugman. You are literally sub-liberal on the fun chart.

i recently got back into playing vidya. i realized that its a more fun use of my time than chasing shitskins at clubs, watching (((movies))), doing drugs, drinking, etc.

Jew brainwashing.

It's about (((their))) globalist agenda. They want to run a prison planet of border-less, race-less, culture-less, identity-less, subdued sheep. They make up less than 1% of the world's population, yet look at all they control from the world's finances to the media that brainwashes us.

In short, they use the entertainment and news media to encourage globalism and to discourage nationalism and traditional western values. They distort and lie about the past and present in that effort.

Good times create weak men. Simple as that.
History will see our generations as weak.

>The lack of stimulating real life goals? The lack of meaningful relationships?
something like this. it's hard to care about a society that is no longer your own.

>manchildren
How much do you make a year versus them?

It's fun and cheap. Before video games were invented, men would drink beer and watch TV, hang out at the tavern or gamble.

everyone tell men that they aren't owed anything and therefore why should men owe anything to anyone? Women wanted to work and have careers, well, enjoy ladies.

Goyim, work contribute to (((society)))!

Good goy, slave away.

They won't be able to handle the real world or the hordes of migrants who will be raping you to death in a few years.

Thats what they did as kids, and there was no need to change that behaviour. I think what we are witnessing isn't the result of soy or flouride or whatever, but simply the result of a generation of people who grew up in the 80's and 90's playing games (as I did) and simply never outgrew it because there was never a need to grow up. These men have not fully matured because they never had to grew beyond the cradle, whether that cradle was school or the corporation they work for. Man is no longer in control of his fate, he simply chooses which institution he gives his life to, and the remaining free hours are meaningless (as its the corporation where he does all his meaningful work), so they just continue their childlike activities.

Enjoy the wall.

I always wonder what the people who make these threads want us to do with our spare time instead, aside from generic and meaningless statements like 'go outside' or 'start a family'.

>everything would collapse and burn.
Me and my mates playing Terraria is advancing the world toward the real happening?
Fuck yea.

I really need to know... is it possible to be a strong man during weak times? How can i do this? Other than join military because im like 30... cant leave my family dont want my wife to cuck me. I dont do vidya. Only during special occasions like family get togethers.

Axe wound detected

Horrible argument full of ad hom and strawman. shit thread faggot imma go play some vidya. You boomer nu-pol Drumph faggots are the worst

For me it's the very last ome. Except I'm not a gaymer and instead fill the void with alcohol. All I want in life is a qt wife and my own family but finding a decent mate nowadays is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

...

it's common law and rampant degeneracy.
I'd rather feel sorry for myself and rub one off than unwillingly participate in a society which doesn't want me.

>muh contribution
>muh future Australia

To what? and what future Australia?

By 2075 Australia is going to be a Chinese state with a fairly large and violent Muslim population.

That was an incoherent post.
You go from self-sacrifice to personal responsibility.

>I'm a girl
Stop right there, criminal scum. Show some tits or it's off of Sup Forums for you.

I didnt choose to be born nor do have to care about who built it before me. The sun could explode tomorrow and i wouldn't give a shit. I'm not bound by laws or some bearded man in the sky, I'm not obliged to do anything. You work to get things and in some cases to improve life. To me, that's just sounds like a waste of time. Espcieclly since this world can't offer me the things i want. Human imagination was a mistake, i admit that but it's here and its opened my eyes. Fuck the real world, it's not worth it. Video games help past the time while being entertaining
