No one's making porn and video games as the reason for their existence except for weirdo leftists, you just made that up
Bullshit. There are plenty of people who have nothing in their lives but empty entertainment. It's completely apolitical.
You guys are so broken in your responses I should just revert back to my list because you do everything you accuse me of.
Again, I don't get how this attitude is at all productive, all it will do is make the people you complain about targeting you, view you as an enemy. You obviously view them as enemies, not even worth conversing with. Why should they treat you any different?
I also think the way you guys frequently equate video games with porn is extremely dishonest.
They serve roughly the same purpose to some; mindless entertainment and time wasting. I love video games, I enjoy them, and I don't hate on them, but porn/games/TV are all, to ironically quote Marx, opiates of the masses. I don't think anyone here is saying video games are immoral but, just like with anything else, there are issues when taken to the extreme. And the very medium of video games - and modern digitized entertainment as a whole - make it very easy to take to extremes. There is merit in warning people about video games and porn, 100%.

Of course not because they know it is shameful. Instead what they do is make porn and videogames their default activity. And then make all kinds of excuses why they can't do other worthwhile pursuits that are slightly riskier with delayed gratification. So it is defacto the reason for their existence even if they don't declare it publicly and deny it to themselves.
You may be technically correct that nobody MAKES porn and games the reason for their existence but for many men it IS and that is something you can't refute.

Sorry but anybody who posts that has almost certainly never done basic maths on the kind of economics young people have to contend with in the west.
Yikes. Nowhere did he say anything about economics, he's talking hobbies. There are plenty of hobbies that don't require a lot of money. There are hobbies that require less money than video games. Porn is free, but that doesn't mean it's good. This is just...I don't even know your point. But it's not good.
I grew up relatively poor, I'm doing okay but not great now. Yes, everything sucks, economically. But using that as an excuse for people wasting their lives is a really bad argument. 'Economy sucks, men should just do porn and video games,' really?
I'm somebody who's recently gotten incredibly lucky in the housing market...
I'm not in the housing market at all.
I may shit on leftists a lot, but they do have a point when it comes to living standards, they just come to all the wrong conclusions imaginable.
They do, but they also caused a lot of this shit. Again, though, this isn't a left versus right thing. What does a very sucky economic situation have to do with asking men not to spend all their time on video games and porn?
Captain nuance over here fails at reading comprehension.
What I said was don't be a fat sack of crap and don't make porn and videogames the prime reason for your existence.
In case you didn't realize that ISNT a gay commie position because they DO want you to do that.
