Should video games be outlawed? It's a degenerate, non-intellectually stimulating "hobby" for children and fat manchildren. They stunt the growth of children's still developing brains, turning them into 30-year-old NEETs who live in their mothers basement playing the interactive jew from dawn to dusk.
The NEET epidemic is directly related to video games, and to a lesser extent anime. If the west is to survive, we need strong, healthy men. Not fat disgusting video game addicted scum.
The entire internet, and the personal computer (at home) should be illegal.

You just called out 90% of human activities and behavior, bravo, so when are you leaving 4chan to prove you're not manchild anymore?
Elon Musk plays video games.
>>76324677
this is 100% true. Internet boards are just as bad if not worse than video games in many cases. It's just the male flipside of facebook/smartphone culture for women.
all post WWII technology is degenerate for home consumption. ALL of it.
>>76324677
Shitposting on imageboards is far more intellectually stimulating than playing video games. Literally anything is.
Outcasts have always existed in society. Now it's just amplified with the technology and social programs we have today. It makes it way easier to be one.
I think it depends on the game. Shooters and action adventure rpgs, and shit like that are garbage. Rhythm games and fighting games are games for the thinking man.
China and South Korea treat all internet/PC use as a drug and put kids into rehab. That's why they beat the US.
the EU isn't really out to censor your "free speech" on forums, that's all a psyop to keep you addicted to the screen and give you the illusion of freedom. the LAST thing the kikes want to do is shut down the internet, it's their most valuable weapon.
>>76324449
You could argue that a lot of video games are actually intellectually stimulating.
>>76324449
Its the only means of survival for a lot of sensitive people in this world. If i didnt hqve video games Id be dead by now.
>>76324919
99% of people alive today should be dead (or not have been born) this includes me and you. Modern degenerate medicine let this happen.
>>76324797
It's becoming normalized though. Parents see video games as merely an electric babysitter. A way to keep your kid busy without actually spending time with them, and then they're surprised and left wondering when their kid becomes a NEET.
>>76324990
if the internet was de-anonymized and entirely tracked (or better yet just made illegal as a home service) this would cease to be a problem. Sadly this is unthinkable in the modern West and will never happen because "muh internets" "muh freedoms"
Anyone who would use the internet to learn would be capable of learning the same from a library. The personal computer has no redeeming value outside of the office or school.

Nah, let the faggot's have their video games. If it wasn't their vidya it'd be some other useless and childish addiction.
At least video games keeps them out of my sight.
What you cease to realize as well is that most don't become NEETS, they become something worse - "successful" tech industry drones who "contribute" to degenerate society and culture and are at the whim of the state/corporations . Computer programming is degenerate 99% of the time. It's all about sucking the world out of reality.

It's not even about freedom. the Internet was NEVER about freedom. From DAY ONE it was a DARPA operation. The internet is a propaganda machine, a data mining device, and a military grade porn porn delivery system.
If you gave two shits about privacy and freedom you would have smashed your computers and never come back to the internet since you're giving up your information every time you use fucking Google. We were all freer without the internet

If playing video games gave you any worthwhile decision making skills, people would realize they should stop playing video games and go outside. Meet people, socialize, make friends. Playing video games WRECKS your ability to socialize in the real world. No, your "online friends" do not count. These people can't even look other adults in the eye when they speak to them because their video games are their only friend. It's god damn pathetic.
>>76325833
To be fair I have actual autism and I was this way before I ever played a single game.

no, entertainment isn't the problem. the problem is WOMEN. as fucking always. the more marxism, feminism and socialism there is, the more depraved men become because these political instances seperate men and women too much. at least video games sometimes bring people together. at least it's a good conversational topic to break the ice.
>>76325833
>Video games ruin social skills
Nice ass pull fact there. Almost every guy I know plays video games and some girls, all of whom lead normal social lives and have steady jobs. It's a hobby like anything else

There's a reason people like me were created - to be military-industrial complex drones, successful enough to get a good job and do well in school but incapable of leading or having a family. Modern technology is degenerate and I don't know now much longer I can go on with my job.
>>76324884
in China and South Korea it IS a literally drug, there is dozens of cases of some neet starving to death because t hey really wanted to finish some quest
If video games did not exist, I would probably go out and murder every little muslim boy and ass rape them.
>>76326123
Most modern "jobs" especially the high paying technology ones are degenerate and not real work. Programming etc are basically just playing games all day in front of a screen rotting and barely better than gaming.
The whole service economy is deliberately about feminizing men and divorcing society from reality.
>>76326251
Video games doesn't stop your religious brothers from doing that.
>>76326146
>Video games are just supposed to be a thing that you grow out of when you hit 15/16
no, they aren't. who the fuck says that? a tool who doesn't know shit says that kind of trash.

>>76326123
>muh anecdotal evidence
Look at the NEET epidemic. They have two things in common: they play video games (usually 8+ hours a day), and have zero social skills. Put two and two together. Sitting in a dark room in front of your television screen all day every day will ruin your social skills.
>>76326146
Because there are millions upon millions of NEETs who have had their lives ruined because they never stopped.
>>76326202
Drop out of the system brother. for your health and to starve the hildebeast. Be a true patriot
>>76324449
Yes it's degenerate but when you have nothing else going on it's often the only thing that can stimulate you.
>>76326368
Playing video games is like stacking blocks or playing with dolls. It's enjoyable for children, but it's not intellectually stimulating enough for adults.
>>76326413
Not an argument.
>>76326523
the funny thing is how similar computer programming is to those repetitive tasks, especially modern frameworks where you never even need to think much.
This is deliberate. I believe computer coding is the same as playing a video game - completely worthless repetition
>>76325973

you clearly don't know any games then. besides, even if you're following that fallacy of yours, then you're already contradicting yourself because you complain about adults being intellectually stimulated because of games. you have no argument.
hell, and since we're talking about Memeux: even Stefan likes talking about video games.
>>76326896
people don't realize the damage it did because the whole of modern society is digitized and structured around the same antisocial framework.
Now that every normie has a smartphone everyone's social skills are damaged so it APPEARS that a gamer is normal
What's the matter OP?
It's pretty much the internet itself and entitled babies.
Easier access to vidya, porn, mongolian cartoon boards like this, social media, and many other places makes it easier to NEET. For the love of god there is an autistic sexless virgin animu fapping board known as R9K...
Most of these NEET faggots blame their problems on a bad upbringing, women, shitty parents, and other pathetic excuses. Meanwhile our ancestors fought in wars, survived famines, raised out of wedlock, and still some of the same factors present in modern society. We have a massive manchild epidemic because everybody wants bajillions of shekels and a cozy life without having to work for it. Stop blaming fucking Gen X and Boomers for this shit. Yes they had easier opportunities but times are changing.
Sink or swim.

Maybe you need to face the real world so you stop being so "sensitive" and grow the fuck up you little bitch.
You've just explained the problem with the West.
>>76326993
>antisocial
games aren't antisocial, you can call NPCs "parasocial" if you want. that's the only thing that's true. but the rabbit hole goes far deeper and goes what? it has nothing to do with games or the internet. it has to do with the majority being good little drones and working a 9-5 job until they retire. people would socialize more if they'd find time. so since they barely can hang out in person, they text each other via phone. that's why it's normal. and if your dumb bitch friend doesn't have time for you, well, recreation time it is again. can you really blame anybody except for the very small fraction of the worst fucking NEET leeches?
on top of that, social interaction isn't some sort of holy grail. IT FUCKING SUCKS. normies SUCK. women SUCK. people SUCK. so sooner or later the need for escapism reappears again.
that's normal and healthy. nobody says you have to lose yourself in games completely.
>>76324449
Some are, sure. Video games are not degenerate by nature. Leave them be.
>>76324449
Videogames are first-amendment protected speech. Being anti-videogame is no different than being anti-gun: a reactionary faggot.

Then cross a line at art? Art is degenerate?
The point I was trying to make is that some video games can be considered art because there is a lot of artistic work that can be put in to them.
So there is degenerate art and non-degenerate art, you can choose yourself when the line of degeneracy is crossed or not.

I don't see why people think being an alcoholic in your free time is better than playing video games.
this whole thread
Well I like my flight simulators as they give me some decent practice for when I do the same in real life and in moderation simulators and sports games are pretty harmless
I think people should and need to learn to control themselves and make right decisions. Taking away someones freedom to play a video game or shitpost online isn't the answer or fair to people who do this in moderation.
