Now that videogames are officially "art", how long before before videogames are considered enough of a sport to be in the Olympics and competitors are considered "athletes"?
>>
There's a difference between sports and athletics.
>>
>>333775864
That image, only athletes care about athletes
>>
>>333776758
but that is wrong nerd.
normies obsess over athletes and celebrities.
like you can talk shit about a nerds waifu and they will just shitpost at you.
you talk shit about a normies favorite athlete/team and they will try to fight you over besmirching them.
>>
>>333777015
Not after they change teams

Normies only care about teams
>>
>>333776403
I know, but these days it's seems gamers seem to lack self-awareness about the (supposed) importance of their hobby.
>>
>>333777801
try to talk shit about Jordan/Kobe/Rice/Bonds/Shaq to normies.
they will lose their shit if they care about those sports.

?!

>>333777015
Olympic athletes usually have shitty jobs because no one gives a fuck
>>
>>333777994
You know what's funny?
I don't follow sports but I still have a vague understanding of who Jordon, Shaq, Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, etc. are and their respective sports but only know one esports guy, fata1ity and that's from a gfx card box.
>>
>>333777994
People who care about all-time greats are just a shred removed from normies. Also, no one will talk about Rice with Oakland, Bonds with Pittsburgh, or Shaq without referencing Kobe.
>>
>>333778312
yea because no one gives a fuck about the jack asses who get the lime light every 4 years.

but they LOVE the athletes they see every other day.
>>
>>333778140
There seem to be fewer and fewer articles that say games aren't art each year and some claiming that they are in league with classics like Paradise Lost.
>>
>>333778449
that is because the major sports get so much air time that you will learn about the big named guys.

Not saying I agree with videogames being classed as art but it's pretty much unanimous now.

That's bullshit; it's forced by pretentious teens that grew older whose happens to like vidya.

I speak from experience, I used to be one.

Who knows, who cares? Point being he's literally the only pro gamer I've heard of and I don't even know what he looks like.
>>
>>333779732
and the only people who demand they are not art are pretentious people who demand art needs to fit in to their definition.

you see lil timmy when you grow up and you know observe the people you realize that this is the same shit they have been doing forever.

saying films cant be art will get you laughed outta most places. unless they are pretentious enough to demand this older art form is a more valid form of art because reasons.

i know right? only PLEBS think movies are art! we all know true art only comes in static images/text!

>art is what I define it to be

...and thus rendering the word art as meaningless.
>>
>>333780594
no shit?
art can be anything.

trying to label something as/not art is a waste of fucking time and an exercise in pretentiousness.

>>333778947
>People who like anime
>Being able to have opinions about art

Going to tell me My Little Pony is art too?
>>
>>333780906
But art isn't anything, that's why a separate word exists for it. It's not really subjective otherwise your shit would being hanging on museum walls next a Rembrandt.

ITT:We've established that videogames are or at least the loudest opinion

Now how long before we start calling pro gamers athletes.

Normies obsess over anyone with a /fit/ body. Just look at the betas that save images of random strangers online showing their gains.

I have been saying video games CAN be art though not all of them are art.

>Person that draws and models - Artist
>Person that writes stories, books and more - Artist
>Person that makes pleasing sounds creating music - Artist
>Bring them all together to work on a project, end product isn't art

Video Games are art, pham. They have been for a long long time.
