Kids playing video games are being developmentally retarded (gayming = looksmin)

wonder what the stats are on how much gen z and alpha are gayming rn

I quit gayming (low budget shit like pirated MC, csgo when it was free, older cracked games sometimes etc) not when I realized it brings 0 benefit to my life (was already aware of that) but when I finally realized that at this point in my life its just getting in the way (20 btw)

But still what was stopping me from quitting way back when? Although I never spent too much time on gaymes anyway. Still though if you really think about it, gaymes are a net negative to your development. Although they're leisure time, you can still optimize even your leasure time to make you a more productive person THAT MAKES MONEY (jk soulless ik but like you could socialize better or be smarter etc).

Even if it means resorting to YT only (new TV) and watching history entertainment (unc status, ik). I know if I realized this way before, even the little time I spent on video games, and all the time I spent simply time restricting that demon rather than dealing with it head on, the compound effect of compound interest would've made me a better person than I am today, if even slightly.

But put simply this is a failure of parenting. You shouldn't expect kids to have all the faculties on their own to consciously steer the ship of their development when they're young and stupid. I can only be thankful and cognizant of the fact I could've been a way more worse and extreme case, had I not consciously practiced restriction and distraction/being occupied by better things intentionally so as to not waste time on video games, as well as intentionally having a shitty PC that can barely run games. Still though this is a failure of society. If I have my regrets about this stuff, and you know my situation, imagine all the other people.

In retrospect, my summers during elementary would've been shitty if it weren't for family planning activities, or friends. By highschool I was already on here and giga redpilled so I was already anti-gayming but even still I was restricting it and torturing myself lmfao to not do any of that shit, like limiting it only to a day in the weekend or waiting for summer break so I can hit the gym and play games (endorphin heaven, felt like the garden of eden) even then though I'd put limits on myself and tbh it made summer breaks feel like freedom. And as time went on it was easier to restrict but ATP I just realized I don't even need to restrict this shit, I can just replace it with something better (high iq ik) anyway I just hate the fact about modern life where everything you do has to be optimized because anything can either be beneficial or poisonous. Somehow we live in a fucked up society that normalizes this sort of digital entertainment and then actually only rewards you if you optimize how you digitally entertain yourself and punishes you severely if you step out of line and dive into video games. And ofc games appeal more to men than women because modern gay society restricts men a shitton and we all wanna just have crazy fun and do whatever we want
