    You never had a kid that spent every free moment (and then some) on video games. Every moment of your life isn’t for garnering fake accomplishments in fake worlds, either. It’s a problem.

      Ok so I don’t know you so I don’t know if you’re one of those who decides if someone is having fun AT ALL Even for half an hour it means they are wasting their life. Or if they have even something else they pay attention to outside of yourself you feel abandoned and get all all-or-nothing into micromanaging their life. I’ve known parents like this.

      So Considering I was pretty clear in how I described the destructive behaviour of an (all or nothing) type A is unhealthy I’m not impressed with your judgment to intro your argument here. Not everything has to a slippery slope argument. It is a fallacy argument. Inability to have any joy is bad. So denying games is actually bad too. The OP posted how their discussion was denying ANY video games. That was the point. You skipped over that too just to make your point. That’s bad actor energy right there.

      That’s it. I’m done repeating this to you or anyone who can’t stop and read something before megaphoning your poorly mismatched argument you want to have. Ya blocked so go tell it to the birds.

        "Yeah it’s also a way to filter all assholes out of your life when they hate on video games. "

        That’s what I was responding to. Video games can be dangerously, debilitatingly addictive to young men.

        I’ve got personal experience with the addictiveness of games. Reducing them to mere escapism isn’t giving game designers enough credit.
