Are you a loser for playing video games?

[Karl.]

My take is that I'm a grown man(27), I work hard for my money and take care of my responsibilities. Therefore I get the choice to whatever the fuck I want to do.

I believe thinking people who game are lames is an archaic way of thinking. If you watch TV/Movies, Listening to music or read fiction you're in the same boat. It's just entertainment.

It also annoys when you get these fools judging people for playing Pokemon Go whilst simultaneously playing Candy Crush and sending invites to people on Facebook.

I will admit I walked into a Game store and It was full of fat stinking people and for a second I thought "Shit! Am I part of this gang?" smh

Not completely true.

Gaming has never been as mainstream as it has been in the 21st century. Just like the internet stigma died cause the net went mainstream so did th gamer stigma. It's been normalized because now everyone plays video games one way or the other.

Like you said everbody has their vice or hobby gaming is probably the least expensive and harmless one, so I could careless what anyone thinks cuz the same people judging you probably buys every pair of Jordans that come out, buys weed or drinks on a regular basis.

The Youtuber in that video sounds like a loser, full stop. That's not gaming's fault, that's just him.

You're not a loser if you enjoy videogames, but I feel the mainstream press and media still has a problem with the subject and still likes to push that notion to a point that people still believe it to be true.

Considering the videogame industry makes more money than the film industry it can hardly be considered niche. Everyone from console owners to smartphone users takes part in some form of gaming at some point yet it still feels like it gets treated like an activity only children or male, socially-awkward, teenage geeks locked in their rooms take part in. Considering twenty and thirty-somethings are the larger demographic when it comes to console games it just seems like the press just refuses to shake off what is a very outdated view of the subject. Add that some people still think videogames are corrupting children and I just think it's an issue with the press and how they still portray the subject.

The same people who are quick to shit on gamers as losers will probably be the same ones who are happy to binge watch boxsets or Netflix without seeing society and sunlight for two days.
