When did you grow up and realize video games have done more harm to our society than good? What can we do to stop gamer culture and consumerist gluttony culture?

derail all you want. You and I both know society can't sustain itself much longer if we keep allowing this. For gods sake, there are people being payed to play fucking video games! We need more doctors and teachers. And what does our society spew out? Fucking lets players. This needs to stop. Gamer culture needs to stop.
Of course I do. Only a libertarian moron wouldn't care about how the habits of other people effect society. Should we just allow meth to be legal to?
Landon King
Yeah, I kind of agree. I don't think they should be banned right away, but you're right that our society can't handle this much longer. The internet is just making us sick. We can view the worst types of gore, the dirtiest porn, have the most insane political opinions become the norm, and just free movies at the click of a button. We're overstimulating ourselves and it's actually driving out primitive monkey brains crazy. I feel like it's because the government knows the world is about to end so they're just letting us run rampant. It's either this or we all commit mass suicide before the nukes hit us.

if you're still playing video games after the age of 15, sorry but you're in it for life.
Noah Barnes
sure, some video games can be addictive, but it only depends on the consumer over-consuming is only a problem to the person that plays it, he's the only responsible for any harm to himself or the others video games are regulated by using some age code (ex: CoD 18+, pikmin 3+,...) it's just that no one gives a shit about them also video games never did harm to society, only journalists talk shit about it and since everyone is a fucking brainlet, they'll trust them without any fucking proof also >complaining about video games >in a board made for video games weak fucking bait, try harder if you want that (you) so badly...

Or maybe I'm just trying to wake people up. Maybe our society is about to eat each other to death because we're all crazy. We have a mass epidemic of psychosis and depression because we keep overstimulating our brains with constant porn and dopamine. Does it not bother you that people are making thousands of dollars from ASMR videos? Does it not bother anyone that video games, a kids toy, is being treated like a work of art?
Aiden Nguyen
Meth should definitely be legal.

Fun fact: Sup Forums should also be banned.
Sup Forums is a symptom of how sick our society is.

I wish I grew out of gaming at 16 when my friends did. Now I'm 24 and those friends who managed to quit gaming have great jobs, some have even started a family. And I only have a high school diploma and never worked a day in my life. I'm not saying its only gaming that fucked me, but gaming addiction is at least 60% responsible for me dropping out of college and becoming a neet.
Wish I had completed that computer science degree man, would've had a job by now, maybe even a normal life. Now its all over. inb4 >>
Alexander Hall
The technology to make video games is gradually progressing to the point that we will be creating highly realistic simulated realities that are so immersive they are indistinguishable from reality.
We are all actually living in the most immersive video game we’ve ever created and simply forgot about it.
Elijah Ross
You need to start somewhere. Also I like how you're simplifying my point. It's not just video games. It's the constant stream of movies, games, food, dopamine, pleasure, and orgasms. It's actually driving us insane and making us more aggressive.
Benjamin Cox
All I ask for is for a bit of entertainment after a hard day's work. Do I not contribute enough to society by paying my taxes and being a generally good citizen? You won't say a thing to welfare leeches who lie on their tax forms and use their NEETbux to buy expensive purses and cars, but I'm suddenly a problem when I spend my hard earned money to play video games.
Hudson Howard
Nah you're crazy. Obesity is the biggest problem in the first world.
Charles Miller
You can unwind after work without binge-watching a TV show or gorging yourself on pizza.
And trust me, I want welfare leeches gone to. I want a society of champions and Olympians, not a society that glorifies weakness.

Zachary Rodriguez
Actually the biggest problem in the first world is that nuclear war is dangling over out heads and will happen literally any day. But that's neither here nor there.
Obesity is caused by gluttony which video games promote. Most games promote 24 hour gaming sessions. Would you guys at least be okay with regulating how often people can play video games?
Evan Nelson
No, most fat people don't game. No I propose a fat tax instead. I play games regularly and I'm one of the most fit people I know.

My friend just dropped $2500 on a piece of shit junk car that he's going to "fix up", but will likely end up a rusting heap in his driveway along with the other two hondas that he can't afford parts for.
I spend $300 last month on a PS4 and games.
How am I the loser in this situation?
Noah Ward
Haha dude he's out driving around banging chicks while you're sitting inside masturbating to video game girls on tv lol sad loser get a life

What's the difference between playing video games and watching TV or movies? Why do people shit on vidya and call it gluttonous while simultaneously sitting on their asses watching reruns of shitty soaps?

I find it funny how I can still remember a time in which the crime rate in the US was so high that people were desperately looking for ways to keep the youth off of the streets, off of drugs, and off of gangs.
Nowadays it’s the exact opposite, it seems. People want to keep kids outside.

Aaron Taylor
It shouldn't be. Nobody should really have "rights". We're basically killing ourselves with free will. Honestly the best thing our society needs is a benevolent dictatorship. We need to control people, but use this authority to better the lives of the people instead of cruelly mistreating them. That way society can't harm itself without devolving as a whole.
Josiah Sanchez
Things used to be a lot worse in US major cities. Crime rate peaked in 1980. The 1992 Los Angeles riots was the most violent instance of civil unrest since the New York draft riots during the Civil War.
I live in Los Angeles and I can still remember things were a lot worse back in the early 90s than they are now. Hollywood Boulevard is almost like Disneyland now when it used to be a total shithole.

I know your trying to say is IF we could it would be great but that's the problem I don't think there's ever been one and you'd have to find a person who wouldn't shit things up, knows what's best for people and would act completely selflessy l. And what happens when he dies who takes his place how would you find someone else with the qualifications. It's Just not a pheasable outcome of the wirk reqhired to attempt it

It's actually gotten to the point where everyone I know in real life is becoming depressed from this. Do you actually think we won't die literally any second now?
Fuck man, an undetected meteor almost hit earth a few months ago that could have ended life as we know it. Things are not fucking okay. We need to get off this planet soon.
Elijah Sullivan
I work at a dispensary in WA. I don't grow it myself to sell in the shop, however you are allowed to no problem. It is INCREDIBLY profitable and as SOON as it's legal in Texas I would invest in a grow op, at least tier 2.
Christopher Rivera
>Every anti-vidya poster that comes here implies that anyone who plays vidya does literally only that and their life revolves around video games
Henry Wright
Real talk, I think playing so much vidya during my formative years has shortened my attention span and made it more difficult to apply myself to long-term tasks like school or passion projects.
That being said, vidya isn't any different from any other repeatable entertainment. Addictive personalities will always find something to do in excess, whether it's vidya or something else. Vidya is only a scapegoat for the boomers because it's new, they didn't grow up with it, and so it's easy to lay the "blame" on that for generational differences.

You must be young, games from the 90’s and before required lots of focus and attention. They weren’t instant gratification devices.

If you've moved on from games or don't' find enjoyment from it anymore, that's totally fine. But then why the fuck are you still here if you have so many better things to do and things to apply yourself to? It's like those fucking faggots who are obsessed with watching sports but then never want to play the game in real life.
Jordan Ward

Jaxon Jenkins
It's not that I don't like video games anymore, I just think our society is sick and we need to regulate how often we spend time on things like video games and movies.
