Can you please nuke us already based Kim

This cannot continue.

I always knew I was crazy. Why else would I hate jews? I see them everywhere, in everything. Jews in my government, jews in my TV shows, jews in corporations that print the news, magazines, websites. I can't stop seeing jews in everything. Ugly little goblins

This.

Yet again they're trying to turn regular, normal male behaviour into a mental illness.

>addiction

Vidya addiction is probably a thing. Shame the definition will include everyone that played anything more complex than candy crush.

when can i get gibs from goberment

I played Halo 3 for 10 hours a day and I got over it.

I hope streamers get incarcerated to cure their addiction

i dunno why but i read jews in my TV shows as jews in my shoes

...

Oy vey I have this new popular crippling addiction. I can't work gibs me dat.

Youtubers/twitch faggotry is finally going to end. Get a real job you neet mother fuckers.

So I can quit my job and collect disability for playing videogames?

Guys guys, we have to create safe gaming sites where the addicts can play clean games instead of whatever they find on the street.

>be gaymer
>WHO now classifies me as mentally ill
>apply for autismbux
>get approved
*yaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnn

They often appear there too.

My first thought. I want to suckle at the big wet titty of the state, anything to get that fire rising.

Who knew being vidya gamer would get ya gamer bucks! ;0

They showed you didn’t they.

This! I want autismbux!!!!!!

Mentally ill cant have guns right????

>2018
>playing vidya
>mental disorder
>claiming to be a woman
>chopping cock off
>perfectly normal

Get me off this ride.

Everyone are reading the title and sperging out. Theyre not saying playing vidya is a mental illness.

Theyre saying that if you play so many that it disrupts your ability to live a normal life then its an addiction, which is a mental illness.

>habitual escapism is a mental illness
color me shocked

Shut it down

Are you a bad fish tooba?

Yaawwnnn. Yawn yawn yawn yAwn

Gaming is fun as fuck, you just have to be responsible when it comes to prioritizing responsibilities.

Meh, it is just escapism. Same as tv, books, etc.

FPBP
Exactly what I was thinking, when will leftism finally be diagnosed

Neat. Can I get autism bucks for it?

so define "normal life" and how many do you have to play exactly for it to "disrupt" that?

>Meh, it is just escapism. Same as tv, books, etc.

Escapism from what exactly? It's up to you to choose how much you balance your life with these things. You can learn from books to improve your intelligence and improve your life. And yes, fuck you i love certain TV shows and video games, what are you Amish?

I'd also add being a wagecuck is seen as completely normal. Being an Israeli worshipper is completely normal. These two things go together like peanut butter and jelly.

The following is enemies to a man:
>feminism
>gynocentrism
>israel
>the jews
>the banks

All are enemies to man. Go MGTOW you niggers.

The issue isnt gaming. Jesus. Sup Forums sure is fun of going full retard over nothing but a headline without reading the article.

The article is saying that if a person allows thier gaming to replace social contact, delay or refuse to handle pressing life issues in favor of gaming, and then play yet even more games in order to avoid acknowledging the fact that thier life is falling apart then they obviously posess an addiction.

The article is saying video-addiction is going to be formally recognised as a mental health issue. Not that playing them in and of itself is an illness, but somebody who clearly demonstrates pathological behaviors towards gaming.

the WHO is retarded not gamer's and the WHO all are sexless virgin micro penis one inch cock limp dick fuck sticks. pussies fucking cunt asshole bastards.

low fps and lag causes further brain damage and mental instability. we need hardware exchange places where poor, addicted gamers can exchange their old, slow hardware for the nice new shiny components. we must provide safe environment to reduce unnecessary risks!

While there are gamers that have very little self control that doesn't mean that people who can be responsible should suffer for it. For years people have been blaming video games for all kinds of BS.

For example:
>playing so much WOW you fail all of your college courses
>So you drop out of school to play even more WOW, now you are routineley not going to your already inadequate part time job in order to play more WOW
>You get fired, you can now devote your time fully over to WOW
>You are now 60 days late on rent and utilities, you havent seen your actual friends in months and only stop playing WOW long enough to use the bathroom or collapse into an exhausted stupor


The problem is that one can begin causing life issues with excessive gaming, then attempt to flee the anxietey caused by the life issues resulting from over use of gaming with even more gaming.

For a certain small subset of people it turns into a negative feedback loop that consumes thier entire life.

Technological safe spaces where lag can’t hurt you anymore.

>It's official, gamers are mentally ill.

But trannys are just fine....

Whose suffering anything? Its simply the medical community acknowledging that a pathology exists.

Ditch the victim complex. It makes you sound over-sensitive and outrage-happy like some kind of SJW looking for a cross to die on. Nobody is condemning anything or calling for any restrictions or bans or anything like that.

Mental health professionals are simply saying "its possible to become addicted to video gaming as defined by a mental health pathological standpoint."

Woot! Woot!

>gaming will be a mental disorder
>telling someone that cutting off their dick and calling themselves asexual is not normal will be illegal
What the fuck is wrong with the civilized world? I play maybe 8 hours one day then don't for the next 6 days thanks to my work schedule, but transfags can say kids need it and allow children to take hormone blockers before puberty and get away with it? Fuck this shit.

See

You clearly only read the headline like a retard. Go back and read the article. Its just mental health professionals saying "hey, its possible this can turn into an addiction."

I didn't disagree with you, no need to be butthurt.

I was simply just pointing out that I read a lot of posts and over the past 15 years have heard tons of retarded excuses for banning video games, and as well as the retards here that suggest banning video games as if it's a good idea. Ultimately it's about indivudual freedom and choice. Just because some loser retard can't prioritize his responsibilities in his life and favors video games doesn't mean that i should be grouped with those people just because I'm a gaymer.

If you outlaw guns, only criminals will have guns. This includes the mentally ill.

WHERE ARE MY NEETBUCKS! I'M DISABLED NOW!

Does this mean I can quit my job and get autism bux?

This is not a tranny by the way you are not a faggot everyone.

Make LAN parties great again!

Crazy game addict here, games ruined my life but I still play 24/7. Please help me with free money so I can continue to nurture my addiction responsibility free.

Well at least you aren’t a nigger.

What if vidya is not my problem? I just spend inordinate amounts of time shitposting. Now what?

How many tax dollars are going to be paid to liberal psychologists to treat it

Folks need to look at this from a positive viewpoint. You are clearly a gamer and games clearly are very important to you.

Maybe this can lead to cancerous shit like microtransactions and loot boxes and whatnot being banned since they pretty obviously market gambling to children.maybe developers would be forced to craft better more interesting games instead of just "LOOT GRINDING APP WITH MICROTRANSACTIONS AND PAY WALLS NO. 2,676,325"

Fuck. I QUIT playing games because I got tired of all that kikey bullshit.

>games ruined my life but I still play 24/7.

Lack of self control user. Start going to the gym at least it's a good start to making a simple commitment and stick with it. During this process, look for a job. Getting fit before getting a job will make that job easier. Unfortunately life sucks and you have to work. It isn't about 'chillin'

No that’s gay. Yur gay.

M8 I just play old games. Battlefield 2 even has like 10 active full servers at all times. There's plenty of old games with enough players to keep the game alive.

>video games are a mental illness
>cutting off your dick to pretend to be a woman isn't
We died and we're in hell, aren't we?

What's it called, soytism

I used to love Battlefield 2, I might have to boot that up at some point. I should still have the discs at my mums house somewhere.

soycery

>Going to the gym fixes everything meme
I joined the army and got massive and i still play games and do fuck all on the weekend except go out with the boys to drink. Going to the gym is literally an hour or two out of a day it doesn't replace anything in your life.

Internet addiction dude. But you should be able to make money without depending on the state unless you want to be an eternal nigger.

>I joined the army and got massive and i still play games and do fuck all on the weekend except go out with the boys to drink.

And yet you still earned a paycheque, Better than being a neet.

So is it being added to the DSM or is it just some stupid opinion piece?
>all of these people triggered over nothing

They had to say "video game addiction" because if they said "internet addiction" like the television equivalent of clickbait did 10 years ago nobody would take them seriously ever again. We rely too much on it now.

White males automatically don't qualify. Check your privilege.

GAME OVER
Nice DIGGERIDOOS

i treat a life as a game itself
>by lurking 10 hours a day at Sup Forums

Anything can be an addiction. If it doesn't significantly interfere with your life and the life of others you are just using.

I fap, eat fast food, smoke, do drugs, drink, have sex, play vidya, watch tv, etc but it is all in moderation.

On a side note psychology is the cesspool of soft science and changes every 10 fucking years, contradicting itself. Freud used to be canon. Remember that?

youtu.be/SYWyI7zWdt4

So youre saying that my insomnia isnt because I secretley want to fuck my parents? Shit. Thought I had figured everything out!

You are correct though. Its such an imprecise field and earning a degree in it is so fuckin easy basically any moderatley professional looking guy who earned a BA from some hayseed college in psychology can begin stating his theories as facts. Pop-psychology is its own sub-field of psuedoscience, its basically the modern equivalent of using magic to explain things.

god has spoken

First thing I thought of

Does fucking my virtual waifu count as playing a video game?

No. Thats porno and masturbation, which is its own class of addiction.

A correction is coming but with anything involving humans it’s going to be messy.

It's official, we must pathologize and medicate everything except approved behavior.

We thought we were in the "best timeline". Turns out, were so far down the rabbit hole that all possible paths lead to the same destination.

fucking lol yeah you and i both know this is a stepping stone for them to begin marking normal behavior as abnormal. It will never be interpreted as you claim, everybody who sees this and doesnt play videogames will use this as a soapbox to attack this as an "unhealthy, cancerous heteronormative hobby".

youre missing the fucking point main.
I can cut my dick off, wear a dress, and make my toddler son go through hormone replacement therapy and put him in a dress and this is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NORMAL

while if I play videogames for a few hours on the weekend im obviously presenting symptoms of a greater mental illness and "need help with my addiction"

There are bigger fucking issues plaguing the medical community like the rapid proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria, actual mental diseases like gender dysphoria or fucking cancer. Instead of dedicating research time and money to those, they would rather declare a popular male hobby as a stepping stone to an addiction/mental disorder. Which in 10 years they will come out with some bogus study equating "gaming addiction" to drug/alcohol/nicotine/gambling addiction and it will be persecuted and purged.

I want off this god damn planet.

Anybody who has seen twitch knows this. Worst yet is the developers are well aware they are taking advantage of people with mental illness when they design these newer games.

this, FFS bring Hitler back pls

FPBP AS ALWAYS!

Can we crucify the gaming industry over this? I'd say this is a function of them not putting out quality anymore, so they've stooped to using psychological tricks to get more gamers into games.

Which has in turn pushed more gamers out who aren't really susceptible to it, causing them to double down on the psychological programming. Which has in turn trapped a good portion of gamers and normies into zombie fugue state.
