See this is why the right lost control of culture.
Dismissing something as a 'distracrion, a pointless hobby not allowing you to face reality' is why the left infected the industry so easily.
And NOW they expect to just come in like the original gamergate and be our 'enlightened saviours against leftist indoctrination'
Fuck off, you're both relics that should be discarded in to the past.
Even more-so with the specific attitude taken by right-wing pundits.
Like maybe a case could be made that too much time invested into gaming can sometimes be detrimental for a person. But instead of tackling it with a fair minded approach like that they almost always hand wave any such hobbies as being "childish" and "unworthy".
I find it especially annoying because I've been debating the pros and cons of having grown up and spent a fair bit of time gaming. Maybe too much. I dunno, but it's something where I'd rather see some legitimately honest and constructive discussion over it. Unfortunately that's something that'll almost never happen in any kind of public space, because extreme takes are all that can really be expected.
And on another note, can I say just how fucking stupid it is for right wing pundits to try and dunk on gamers right now during a major election season?
Republicans are experts at shooting themselves in the foot.
