Yeah, and to be honest I have never once seen people bash spending all day playing video games… unless they're doing so while consistently ignoring their commitments and responsibilities. And in those cases it's not the video games that are the problem, it's the asshole playing them.

by Healthy_Hyena 1 year ago

I have seen women put in their dating profiles that they don't want to be with someone who plays games all day, but that's obviously because they probably had a bad experience with a neglectful partner in the past.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Most people also want a partner that engages with them and shares experiences, not just exist in the same room/home while they do their own thing and ignore their partner's existence. Don't get me wrong, I love playing video games. Hell, I just spent the better part of 2 hours working on a building in Planet Zoo just now. There is nothing wrong with having hobbies, including having hobbies that your partner is not involved with. But there has to be limits. I've seen too many stories where a guy comes home, spends the entire evening playing games (or watching sports/tv/etc...) repeat on the weekend, and then get all pissy because his wife wants him to go with her to some event she wants to, and complains that she is making him do things he isn't interested in.

by Objective_Draft_7936 1 year ago

The ‘no gamer' thing definitely is due in part to social stigma of gaming. Sure for a small percentage they may have dates a genuine addict but I'm willing to bet it's not entirely attributable to neglect because of gaming and is partially due to some holding the (unjust) assumption that gaming is an ‘ick' and not something a grown man should have as a hobby. Think about it, a partner could be neglectful for all kinds of reasons, prefers to go to gym/play sports rather than hang with partner, prefer to hang with buddies rather than with partner. Those probably happen just as much if not more, but you never see profiles with "no athletes" or "no guy with friends he spends weekends with" and the difference is because even if there was neglect, the differentiating factor is chilling with your buddies or working out are seen by some as "normal" and "acceptable" hobbies while gaming is not. Which is even further ironic that gaming gets such flack when for many you consider it really is just a medium for hanging in chat with friends you may not get to see IRL

This is the most important part of this whole discussion. If any hobby (writing, woodworking, television, golf, softball, gardening, video games, etc.) interferes with your chores and necessary tasks to keep the domicile maintained ... That's the problem. Not the hobby itself. It's just stereotyped that golf enthusiasts and video gamers, among others, spend more time with their hobbies and neglect chores.

Amongst my group it's considered an inferior hobby, to say the least. Hobbies that have a tangible outcome are considered superior. Knitting, woodworking, painting, etc. Admittedly, they're all a lot of creative types, but the idea is that video games have no meaningful outcome for your time spent on them. In that sense, it is kind of a "waste of time". I don't game much, but I don't hate them. I just definitely prefer hobbies that give you more of a sense of creativity and ingenuity in the end product than what you get from gaming.

I don't think people care what single adults do on their off time i would also argue that you almost never have nothing to do. Maybe 3-4 times a year i find myself with a day that has no plans, no house work, no groceries, nothing to do. Those days of course it's fine to do whatever you want but if you are telling yourself you have 1-2 days a week to do nothing but play video games odds are you are neglecting something in your life or depending too heavily on your partner.

They haven't had sex in years and she has had to take out loans and really stress over finances because he's also addicted to impulse buying and get rich quick schemes that he seems to get off Youtube. So...I dunno. That's another version of what one thinks of when one thinks of the stigma.

I'd say it depends what you do for work. I work in an office and steps are severely limited during the day. It means when I get home my preference is to walk the dog, go for a bike ride, do something outdoors with the family. If you have a physically draining job, and that keeps you active for 7/8 hours a day, spending the remaining parts of you day watching TV or gaming is fine in my view.

by blockfatima 1 year ago

I can get behind that. I have a mentally and physically exhausting job and I work a lot of OT. Still need to walk my dog and do fatherly duties for my baby.

As an adult who will sometimes spend all day on a weekend playing video games, I 100% agree. I work about 50 hours a week, on aircraft (love the job actually) and after doing so for 25 years, it can take physical toll on your body. Mentally as well. Sometimes after coming home from the gym on a Sat or Sunday morning, I don't feel like doing anything else. So I load up and start my laundry, then I plop down on my couch and fire up the Xbox. Granted I probably only play for a few hours throughout the day, but still. Other days, I can often be found out hiking all day in the Nevada desert, so I'd argue there is some balance.

If you're comparing it to watching TV then sure, and who cares what people think. But pretty much any other activity(reading, exercising, practicing a musical instrument or other creative outlet) is better for your brain and can have more relaxing affects on the body. I think folks these days are too obsessed with their right to do "nothing" with their time to get back at society for having to spend the majority of time working. Like it's fine if that's what you want to do but life is short and the choices you make and the habits you develop today affect how you will feel in the futures.

There's going to be a stigma for sure, less because it's playing games and more because it shows you have few responsibilities or passions that come before it. Gaming is my favorite hobby, but like most adults I can't do it a ton because I have responsibilities that come before it. So i would be less worried about how people view gaming and more just that you're not putting life on hold to enjoy games. Also, as an adult you've got to get over how others view what you do for joy.

"I spent the weekend binging (relevant tv show)." No one bats an eye but that usually means they spent 7-8 hours a day watching TV. They... they do though, especially if that's all you do every weakened. Wasting away watching TV has always been stigmatized. Just like no one is going to care if you busted through a game over the weekend. People only start giving looks when you build your identity around it. And they'll do the same for any hobby. The less familiar they are with it, and the more specific it is,the easier it is to hit this threshold. Obsession is harmful for the most part. Humans as a social species tend to ostracize individuals exhibiting harmful behavior. If you did woodworking occasionally no one would care. If you spent every free moment building birdhouses in your garage you'd quickly become "that neighbor"
