So according to you, playing a shooter game makes one a man-kid but watching an action movie doesn't? And if so, why?

- formerly_proven 7mo agoThere's a fairly solid argument you can make that both of these are man-child indicators. (Essentially, violent power phantasies as escapism).
- Al-Khwarizmi 7mo agoSure, but then the issue would be in the kind of content, not the medium. There are plenty of non-violent video games, and plenty of violent hobbies that aren't video games. I don't see any consistent argument to single out video games.
- freehorse 7mo agoBut "violent power phantasies as escapism" can definitely take some very undisputedly adult themes. I do not see how these are "man-child indicators"?
