So thanks to the world health organization. Video game disorder is now a real thing, despite the fact, several studies were inconclusive about it. So that likely means many of us are now counted as having a video game disorder.
So... Does that mean we can start classifying athlete disorder/addiction? Or what about someone who just reads a lot. Does that mean they are addicted to books? And can I just briefly call double standard on people who are against video games, and think that having a preference to play video games is an addiction. Does that mean they are addicted to tv?
The sheer absurdity of this is mind-blowing. And what is more absurd is what the media has spoon fed people into believing that video games causing violence. Despite the several studies between 2014 and up to right now that often end up going inconclusive, seeing no correlation to violence, or proving that it reduces the likely hood of violence.
So now you give a misleading public and mass group of people even more reason, without evidence must I mind you, to hate another group, who have tried to defend themselves but get bullied around anyways. I honestly do not understand how people can see video games so differently from fucking tv! For the love of god! You use the same device to engage with video games, A fricken TV! You need a tv to see for both! So why is that video games are looked so damn differently? Is it because one is more passive with you slouching in your couch and having the clicker in a single hand?! Is it the fact that controllers takes two hands and is more engaging? Is that the reason why video games get treated so differently?! Like the logic of this makes no sense, it's a double standard so heavily that I can't wrap my head around the blatant ignorance of this.
But I'm done yet. Because wait there's is more!
Because some people still have the idea that you're not socializing with people when playing video games! I mean in the past, that wouldn't be wrong. But now we have hundreds, thousands of people we can play and meet online, and share that experience of a game, MMO, first-person shooter, team-based games etc! In fact, isn't watching tv less social than video games!? UGH! But I guess we really do exist in an age where everything is absolutely gone from being at least decency to being nothing but morons to blatant facts.
