    This is probably my biggest gripe with that argument. So, so many people harp on kids and pretty much anyone playing a ton of video games. Then they just sit there and watch movies or the news or scroll social media for hours and hours but somehow that’s magically totally fine and different.

      IMO it’s even worse. At least when playing a game you are using more of your brain. You train hand eye coordination. You can solve puzzles, train reflexes…

      Watching movies or doomscrolling just does nothing.

    I for one love gaming. Also memes about how old people are stupid and deserve our scorn. Love those too.

      I don’t think this is about hating old people, it’s about old people who hard on young people for dumb stuff for no reason, while being no better themselves

      I’ve had old people harp on me for playing video games, abd then all they did was sit and watch TV and drink beer
