It's really amazing that I've been called a subversive by retards on this site when I'm seeing people absolutely adopting the SJW mentality of "If you happen to disagree with me on a particular topic then that means you're automatically on the opposite side that I hate and you are not allowed to post otherwise". Not only do they adopt this mentality they're actively trying to form mobs to try and go after individuals because they're mad.
This isn't just people downvoting a particularly retarded user or someone they know is having a retarded moment which is pretty normal. I do think it needs to be addressed a bit because they're now just going after anyone and making shit up about them. Granted, could be spergs with alt. accounts who think this is reddit and are trying to mob users they don't like but still the point stands.
. Being against Palestine does not mean you automatically support Israel
. Laughing at TERFs and not supporting them does not make you pro-trans ( Imagine actually thinking this and being serious about it lol )
. Being against AI translation does not make you pro-SJW localiser
. Not wanting to ban porn does not explicitly make you 'pro porn' and anti-family ( Again, some retards here actually believe this )
. Not wanting to marry women who hate men does not mean you don't want a family or to have a real relationship
I warned people about the right wing SJWs awhile back that are on this site because I was pissing them off the moment I came on here and they've very much been having a mask off moment lately. Don't let the annoying shits prevent you from having a nuanced opinion on anything.
The Jack Thompson types are trying their best to make a bit of a comeback for 2024 it seems and pulling the SJW thing of "Hello fellow kids I love muh vidya games too now here's why you're a degenerate". Also worth noting when it comes to the community these people are the least likely to post any actual gaming content.
No one's making porn and video games as the reason for their existence except for weirdo leftists, you just made that up and that's exactly why I made this thread. You guys are so broken in your responses I should just revert back to my list because you do everything you accuse me of.
I also think the way you guys frequently equate video games with porn is extremely dishonest.
Bullshit. There are plenty of people who have nothing in their lives but empty entertainment. It's completely apolitical.
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?
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%.
Okay I really have to settle this one, be honest, have you actually tried being reasonable with these guys? Because all they do is spam people that disagree with them. This is why I call them right wing SJWs, it's not worth the time, it's not being derogatory, it's a fact and there are very specific users I have in mind when it comes to this point.
Literally pick any topic to debate with them on and just be a contrarian, they're going to swarm you lol.
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. I'm somebody who's recently gotten incredibly lucky in the housing market as well. 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.
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 not in the housing market at all.
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?
This is the thing, everything is expensive as fuck, it's like I was explaining with regards to dating apps. Especially in places like the UK, most guys are working constantly and for low wages, they can't afford to go jet setting and come even close to meeting the financial demands a lot of western women set. Even if they did have the money do you think they'd have the time? Probably not, tradesmen I was working with were family men and got up for 6:00am for fuck's sake and they make good money.
No I'm not suggesting endless video games and porn, however being a single guy myself I know what it's like unlike a lot of people who talk about it. Especially when it comes down to the fact that with dating especially there are an unbelievable amount of carefully designed scams out there aimed at single men it's very easy to get black pilled and completely check out of even attempting to have any kind of meaningful life. Yes, this is includes hobbies and yes it is that bad.
With regards to video games I consider them a potential pathway for guys if we could get the concept of LAN parties etc. properly popular again among other things. The problem is with that idea is it would take some pretty hefty and organised resistance given just how many forces would be arrayed against such a move.
