This is, frankly, an insult against a majority of adults in the US. The "average" gamer is 34 years old, owns a house, and has children. 65% of American adults play games daily.
It's no more childish than watching TV or reading.
- runawaybottle 6y agoYeah it’s insulting, but sometimes we do it to ourselves. Scorpion chair is a no no. Sometimes just take the easy wins.
- hesdeadjim 6y agoThat chair is wonderfully ridiculous, and I would enjoy the feeling you’d get every time you hop in it. Those who judge tend to have their own hang ups around this kind of stuff. What’s yours?
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoLooks unsafe if there is a fire and the power goes out.
- jacquesm 6y agoAt a guess you are not into bondage.
- klondike_klive 6y agoI get a mild castration anxiety looking at it.
- hesdeadjim 6y agoYea, more than a tad bit insulting. Let’s just forget how great of a social activity is, especially during an isolating pandemic as well. Some of my gaming experiences are my fondest memories, as “real” as any normal event. I’m also quite well adjusted with social activities, plenty of “real” world friends, adrenaline sports, and being a father. But I also have no judgement for someone who makes gaming much more of their life, as I did at one point.
