    Gaming as a hobby does not make you a loser. Neglecting your responsibilities and letting it consume your whole life though, makes you a loser.

      When you consider that there are so many other things out there that can have that same effect it just seems weird to single out video games.

      ​It's not because all of this stems from it being men. You're a loser as a man if you're not doing something productive. If you don't wanna work hard as a man you're a loser. If you don't care because it makes you suicidal and the world hates you then you're just weak, man up. ​@@egrintarg230

      @Mr.Scar_Real What if the "responsibilities" are "supposed" to be worth 2/3s of your life and you don't consider that a healthy or worth it?
      I'm not advocating you shouldn't bathe yourself, like one of the actually addicted gamers, that are well over 200 lbs, and stink worse than a skunk. That should 100% be avoided.
      But, if I don't make enough money to live by myself, let alone get a new car, let alone buy a house, LET ALONE have kids, why the hell shouldn't I "waste" my life, by playing video games 4 out of the 10 hours that I'm not working.
      Why shouldn't I barely contribute to the worthless political system, and living where I can ACTUALLY AFFORD, which is, my parent's house?

      Sorry, but I don't think gamers are racist because the media told me.
      I think gamers are racist because of how fast they would use the "gamer word" before they even knew I was black.
      and the general apathy my gamer "friends" had on my feelings on that word.
      Oh, and lett's not forget how you people are bitching about a black man in Assassin's Creed.

      Kids from my generation used the R word the same way. There's no thought that goes behind it. Most of them are just using bad words interchangeably.
      People are complaining about ahistorical portrayal of history and disrespect of japanese culture, not about "A bLaCk MaN".

      Let's break down Atmuz's role in this. He is a part of Gaming YT, which is a huge part of normal YT. YT as a whole is a strong competitor to mainstream media.
      By himself, Atmuz doesn't have as much influence as The View, but he still makes up part of the commonly held belief in Gaming YT that mainstream media is incompetent on the subject of video games. They might be saying that because that's what they genuinely think, but professional gaming YTers have an incentive to say it because if people were less into video games, they would be watched less and wouldn't have a job.
      I think it's just the same as professional TV hosts making fun of video games. Regardless of whether they think video games are bad, if people were more into video games, and also watching video game content, the TV hosts would be watched less and could lose their job.
      The problem with this mindset is that we aren't able to consider a point objectively, because instead of looking at the point based on its own merits, we only see it as a method for someone to push their own selfish agenda, whether or not they actually have one. Do you agree?

    Another thing that doesn’t help is the fact that so many people lack the emotional intelligence to not resort to temper tantrums over frustration for a game loss
    It’s the same as sports fans when their favorite team loses
    And gaming being so accessible and addictive, it carries over a big baggage of addiction and anger issues that give a really bad image, and it’s not even a “bad apple” kind of deal because I KNOW 90% of the gaming community has/has had issues with this during a gaming session
    And let’s not even get started on the incentives on spending, gambling and insane number of expansions that are added solely to keep you hooked up throwing money at them
    Video games have good things but they also have very bad things here and there. The problem is that media and people outside of the bubble focus only on this negatives and completely abolish the community as a whole

The scientific evidence for its cognitive benefits (when done in moderation) is unquestionable. Gamers, in general, have far superior spatial reasoning and awareness, superior reaction time, higher fluid intelligence, and excellent attention spans. (depends on play time, and above a certain amount, cognitive effects can be negative) Studies are not hard to find.

    I'm a 30 year old neurodivergent male with mental disability. I have a fulltime job, a temporary family gig that can take from 0 to 8 hours in some days, I participate in sporting events and also train for them, I don't have a car but use public transport and walk alot, I keep my room clean and commit to my body hygiene everyday, I do self improvement quite a bit and aim to get a girlfriend in the future. Other hobbies include listening to music, reading books and of course gaming whenever I have the time to do so.

Whether it's binge-watching tv, scrolling through TikTok, or partying at clubs and bars, they're not really being any more productive than those who spend hours gaming. In fact, they might even be lazier in how they use their time, yet they never pause to consider that, at the end of the day.

They're wasting just as much time, if not more, because we're at least doing something while interacting with said thing.

"gamers are fat, single and have bad social skills" but is it because people who aren't able to be athletic or have bad social skills finnally found a hobby they can participate in? or is it because games made them that way? also, can we stop valuing people by their ability to find a partner?

    First mistake is trying to group all gamers in a single definition.
    I know one of the larger audiences for the META VR headset is retired seniors playing things like golf and traveling in the Meta universe.
    I am a senior PC gamer that enjoys RTS, RPG and racing and combat flying Sims.
    I have health issues that prevent me from any longer doing many physical activities I have always enjoyed during my life.
    But I have been an avid gamer my entire life only not to the degree it totally consumed my every waking hour.
    When I was much younger I can remember a bunch of friends getting together and having gaming parties playing either Risk or Axis and Allies board games.
    These days friends can get together and play games together and never leave their house and play in their underwear if they choose so what is the difference really other than the convenience?
    The secret is to include gaming into a more balanced lifestyle rather than be one that gaming is all that exist in your life.
    When a person is getting to the point they travel to events to dress up as their favorite gaming character and running around that way they might have a gaming problem.
    I have never understood the draw to COSPLAY public events but then when you see these events and what they draw you wonder why the mainsream media is looking at Gaming the way they are and questioning the nerds and wierdo's that seem to be attracted to these events?

A company dedicated to manufacturing dedicated cards for a "loser hobby". It was OUR money, GOOD money that us video game players spent over the years, that gave nVidia the power to shift its focus to the other industries, and most probably play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the West. And the future AI specialists, which will enjoy the most sought after jobs, are most probably "playing games" right now. The very people who are supposed to shape the future of human civilization.
