Why does everyone hate on gaming... People must be jealous it's so engaging

Shes right tho.

Makes me cringe seeing adults self identifying as gamers and also all the memes about how their girlfriends are always telling them to get off the game and theyre like just 1 more, babe! And then they play like 5 more and dont go to bed until 4 am.

Thats childish.
You're posting on a video gaming website that hasn't been relevant in close to a decade.

I actually just heard in person a comment by a woman coworker last week making fun of "grown men playing video games". I'd say it's a common enough sentiment societally.

Not even making any argument about why that opinion is so common, but it's real.

I don't get why people bash video games when it is socially acceptable to binge tv shows on netflix at least with video games you are engaged in them and pressing buttons instead of just blankly staring at a screen for hours on end as some show plays.

I'm wondering this as well.

Is there any real difference between playing video games for hours, and bingeing TV shows or movies for hours?

Yeah it's weird, at least vidya is an actual activity that demands something from you and lets you build skills. I guess people think it's a manchild thing because many of us shout and say the n word whilst doing it

Women are probably thinking of gamers when they say that.

Mind you, gamers have a deservedly low social status. Video game girls with huge boobs, complaining about gay and trans people being in video games as "politics" and throwing controllers at walls. Plus all the vitriol in online chat.

I mean most gamers are men and most people into star signs are women. Fail to see the sexism there. Just saying what it is.

It's like saying most grass is green, yeah there's other colors of grass but you aren't going to be wrong by saying most grass is green

Video games and gamers are still on the come up, but outside of the COD/Fortnite genres its still generally looked down upon as a undesirable and nerdy pastime by most people.

Its a generational thing though, as time goes on video games will keep becoming more and more accepted as they have consistently since their inception.

The issue is video gaming became big in our generation (millenials) so it started off as a kids thing but as we got older game companies started making games for older people at a much higher rate.

Tv suffered this as well with being hated on by older people

I understand books did too. I know fictional but john marston did this in rdr2 bitching about his son constantly having his head in a book.

I think social media is one of the rare exceptions where the older generations embraced it.

All I'm seeing is another entitled twitter bitch dumping sexist shade on another group for practicing their own civil rights to enjoy themselves.

Men are not entitled to dates, relationships or sex.
Women are not entitled to what men decide to do solo with their own time/resources.

It's not appropriate for men to dictate what makes a biological female a real woman. They never had that experience.
Then it's for damn sure wrong when a women presumes she has a say in what makes a biological male a real man...she never had that experience.

If the men want to have fun without hurting anyone else, there's no shame in that. That should be preserved.

Equality + consistency. Only hustlers are afraid of that combo. Only lazy skanks got a problem with it. And that bitch would be Exhibit A. She's whining because she noticed a bunch of men would rather play videogames than drop time + $$$ on her worthless ass.

And we are entitled to respond with our own opinions.

She's passive aggressively expressing an opinion that's stupid and sexist. She's allowed to do what she wants with her personal time, like tweeting braindead bullshit. Men are allowed to do what they want, including playing videogames without shame...and pointing out she's a dumbass for advocating a gendered double standard.

Never mind that plenty of women kick back and play videogames now too.

(there is a break about halfway in the link above, connect it)

Pretty much littered throughout that study shows that men/boys spend significantly more time playing games than women/girls, the only place where its more or less equal is phone games. Which is a whole different animal for a variety of reasons. Study also shows that men are more likely spend more time into adulthood playing and link friendships and what not more so through gaming. Cant quite link the direct parts because Im on phone but just skim.

Now does that that necessarily answer the question of men are more likely to be gamers as the poster you quoted stated, no ( really dont feel like getting into a useless argument about that constitutes a gamer) But it definitely gives insight as to why people consider gaming to more associated with men than women.

https://mashable.com/archive/astrology-women

Literally just type into Google which gender believes in astrology more and you will find article after article, study after study showing how women believe in it more. As well as how astrology is far more marketed towards women these days, etc. Also the above link shows Pew research data that confirms that there is indeed a notable gender divide, favoring women.
