how come video games still have this stigma for being a hobby for losers?
it has been out there for 50+ years, there's a massive industry built around it and one could even argue that it's a form of art
the shy neet skinnyfat nerd kind of gamer is a thing of the past, today everyone is playing vidya

>>713911080 (OP)
Because games like >>713853432 exist and are pulling the reputation for all games and gamers down.

>>713911080 (OP)
because the majority of people on earth don't play them and there are still many, many people around from back when they were considered just toys for children

>>713911080 (OP)
I look at who is saying that, and its mostly normalfags that either watch trashy reality shows, no matter if its somet relationship ship or shit like "pawn stars" or anything boring like that or "manly" sports guys (even though I watch sports too) that think having a couple of BREWSKIES is peak masculinity. Meanwhile they are watching the same sports show over and over again. Every fucking week after a series of games the discussion is basically
>Host A: X player is really carrying this team lately. He averaged XX points per XX minutes. I think he might carry them to the conference final this season
>Host B: Mannnnnnnnnnn you're crazy he is TERRIBLE. Did you see how he choked against...
Its like wow...yeah...riveting stuff.

>>713911080 (OP)
It's just more demoralization bullshit because normalfags and twitch nepobabies can't stop trying to convince more and more people that hobbies are bad unless there's some sort of way to scam people.

>>713911080 (OP)

Why do you care? Wanting video games to be more popular is how we ended up where we are today. Video games are for kids and nerds and that's how it always needs to be.

>>713911080 (OP)
Because gamers are the commodity, not the customer. They're cattle, who pay for the privilege of being butchered.
They have no pride or standards, and defend the butcher with their lives against those who want to improve the life of the cattle.
Gamers are capital. Not even human, really. Nowhere else is there such a willing debasement. Even common whores at least resist their minds becoming a commodity along with their bodies, while gamers fight for the opportunity.

They don't but i wish they still had the stigma because then they would go back to what they used to be 20+ years ago instead of being propaganda vomit like they are in 2025.

nintendo advertised videogames as a "toy for children" in the 80's with the NES.
That stigma has never changed.

>>713911080 (OP)
Most the people who say that usually spent thousands of hours playing shit like CS, LoL, Apex or Fortnite
If I did that I would fucking feel the same too.

Go fuck yourself, normal faggot. You ruined video games.

>>713911080 (OP)
because its a hobby for loser, just like Anime.
Just because its popular now with normalfag doesn't change that its a favorite loser activity.
You can join a sports club and only find a low percentage of losers.
It's like shitting in a pool, just because you add more water doesn't make the shit go away.

>>713911080 (OP)
Because a lot of people who play them have little life outside of them.

Because most gamers are losers, at least many who consider themselves 'serious gamers'. And it stems back to the fact that its an inherently antisocial hobby. You are indoors playing for hours on end, neglecting actual life and its pursuits. I say this as someone who has been enveloped by a similar boring lifestyle and is actively trying to change it up. Also I'd consider many normies these days to be in the same boat with different forms of shut in lifestyles becoming more popular.

You can have balance and still go out and live life to the fullest, in which case you are not a loser. It's about living life with fire

I doubt it, if they would suck that much at working then they would just die on the streets like they should have if this were 100 years prior

Paying them enough to be able to consume products made prevents them from revolting and ensures that people making products have a market

Someone who has repeatedly failed something, in the social sense, people tend to imply that a loser is someone who fails to participate in society, whether it's because they're not likable, or that it overwhelms them to the point of isolation

>>713922089
a loser is an individual who lacks the recognized social, economic, and cultural capital such as wealth, education, and influence that is necessary to achieve a respected or desirable position within a certain social hierarchy. I hope that doesn't sound familiar to anyone here!

>people tend to imply that a loser is someone who fails to participate in society
But isn't society is that place where people go to abuse their own children and destroy themselves to attain things that don't exist

People sometimes get suprised that I play videogames because when we're talking about shit we do in our free time I always lead with gardening and cooking.

You get people here who get mad when someone disparages them for saying they're a gamer, but what people here don't realize, because they don't socialize, is that the person who says "I don't really do anything I just like watching tv" is considered just as much of a loser.
Even people who mostly do that will say they're working on their car, or they like jogging, or they go fishing on the weekends, or whatever because the stigma about gaming being for losers isn't that you're playing games, it's that you just sit on your arse all day.
Nobody gives a fuck about some retard calling himself a "movie buff" and, in fact, I'd say they're considered even bigger losers because they also sound like smug cunts.

>>713925914
Nothing wrong with that. I go to the bar after work because I can down a few in the hour it takes to wait for my bus. Lets me listen to my music, say hi to a few familiar faces, gives me that human interaction we all need for sanity's sake. Couldn't imagine being the fuckers who go there on the weekend though, fuck that.

Gaming as a hobby generally requires a much larger time investment than any other hobby. If you say you're a gamer people assume that is all you do. I mean if someone says they play chess do you assume they play chess for hours every day? If someone says they golf, do you think they're golfing every day? If someone says they read books then maybe they read a lot but it is considered an intellectual past time.

>>713928168
>Gaming as a hobby generally requires a much larger time investment than any other hobby

I sure hope you are joking especially considering how easy it is to simply turn on the console and play compared to a hobby like rock climbing or 4x4.

>>713927379
When the fuck did this become about feminists invading gaming you absolute fucking nigger. This thread was about people being judged for playing videogames, and you posted some vapid sluts trying to go THEY DON'T GET JUDGED WHY DO ME!?
And I simply stated that I don't give a single fuck about vapid sluts judging me because I've already judged them myself, and harder than they ever could because women are lower than a hylic, as at least the hylic can perceive the world if not anything beyond it, while vapid sluts can perceive themselves, but not the world beyond themselves.

Meh, just retarded bullies shitting on nerds. Been like that since retro pacman days.

Those bullies never grew up and are just mad others are enjoying their hobbies. Eventually thos vidya hobbies got so popular that it's no longer cool to shit on gamers. Same for anime.

They are just jealous because the industry has outstripped and outsold every other industry by a country mile.

It is better. My parents do nothing but watch TV all day. They haven't bought a new TV since the government forced the HDTV switchover in 2009. It's been 16 years since they've bought anything for entertainment.

>>713924567
Reading is a mental pursuit, depending on what you are reading its not in the same classification as the others. TV, legos, social media, etc. ARE loser activities if you dedicate 90% of your free time to them. Key here is time. If done in moderation its all fine.

Video games have the biggest stigma because its the easiest loser activity to obsess over, outside of social media which 99% of the population uses so it gets a pass in public eye.

Also inherently a "gamer" is likely to be a loser because its a title which implies too much time is being focused on games right off the jump. It's like if you heard someone say they were a lego-er, obviously you wouldn't take them serious. Nobody is going to say someone is a loser for saying "Yeah I play some games here and there"

>>713929665

> how come video games still have this stigma for being a hobby for losers?
Because it undeniably is. Sure, you can be normal and play a game to unwind for a half hour, one hour TOPS. But that's not what 99% of gamers are doing, and the games themselves are specifically designed to be as addictive and time-consuming as possible, rather than a healthy outlet.

Can you name ANY game "community" where the people in it are successful, attractive, inspirational, or even pleasant to be around? It's just kids, losers, and freaks in every single one of them. Look at this place. Furfags, gooners, and outright pedos spamming their stupid fetish topics 24/7.

I think there was very brief time in the late 90's to early 2000's right before broadband became widespread, where games encouraged healthy social interaction (4p couch play, LAN). Games like Dance Dance Revolution were at their peak, and brought people together in ways games today cannot (shared love of music, the endorphin rush of physical exhaustion, public meeting places). Back then it did seem like games could become something more than entertainment for kids and teens, that they might have their own unique place as entertainment we all enjoy casually.

But that is absolutely not what played out.

Gaming is the biggest form of entertainment on the planet, so since the advent of the iPhone and Social Media i.e. Twitter/Reddit etc... narcissistic sociopaths with the minds of children, basically 99% of women who are the majority behind this culture war bullshit after (((them))), have made it their mission to invade, infest and destroy anything white straight males enjoy and/or care about.

Cat rancher roasties with Daddy issues have went out of their way to ruin every movie/tv show/videogame/comic book/board game etc... I.P./Franchise in existence as recompense for the imaginary grievances that only exist inside their minds as their way of coping that they're lazy and/or stupid and have a sense of entitlement always gnawing inside of them that they're not getting everything the way they want all the time without having to work for or earn the things they think they deserve because they want them.

They keep pushing the narrative of "white male privilege" which doesn't exist but because they see the wealth accumulated over decades and centuries of hard work and can't comprehend the effort to achieve and/or obtain those things because women don't think they should have to do the same and why they want "equity" and not equality, a word they don't use because then they'd have to compete on the same level as everyone else which they don't want to.

So they expect equal rewards for doing less work and complain that it's not fair that they can't compete, so their goal is always to drag everyone down to their level.

This explains why they have been at war with objective beauty and pushing for old, fat, ugly women in every facet of media while using terms like "the Male Gaze" as a way of trying to psychologically manipulate younger, thinner, more attractive women to downplay their looks to level the playing field.

>>713934287

Just remember that the only people who hate women more than men is other women and why they have never been able to build any sort of functioning society or civilization because they're too busy back stabbing anyone who has something they want and/or could never be.

Meanwhile you never see men cry that there aren't more old, fat, ugly men being represented in media of any kind.

These type of women seek power and turn every working environment into the equivariant of grade/high school of which they never emotionally develop beyond and why their only goal to to trash things just so that they can call men names like they would on a playground or in highschool.

And because they can't justify the evil rotten shit they do, they have been pushing the idea of the "INCEL" which is simply their way of calling someone a virgin which they know they can't IRL because then they'd be dismissed as the intellectually stunted infants they are and the same as CHUD that means calling someone ugly.

They know what they're doing is wrong but will always use their feelings to justify their behavior and long as they felt it was the right thing to do that benefits them regardless of the damage they cause.

>>713934394

This is why they support abortion which is murdering a human being inside of them because they were irresponsible and don't want to face the consequences of their actions which every women in North America, especially if they're white, is raised to believe and can't be reasoned with nor will ever consider the accountability of their actions.

This is why they will NEVER acknowledge that its their behavior and what they're doing is the problem but to absolve any sense of guilt they might feel, they have to project their anger, hatred and self-loathing onto the people they're attacking.

This is why if you confront them about they shit they're doing their NUMBER ONE RESPONSE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME is to call you a virgin and that you're not angry over what they've done but you're only really mad because they wont fuck you and that you're just part of a basement dwelling virgin minority complaining except when anything polluted with identity politics fails at which point according to them a legion of omnipresent Incel Chuds were able to prevent people from consuming whatever shit they're shoveling.

>>713934454

And that's the insidious part as their goal is not to make something meant to make money and entertain, because then people would be happy and the last thing they want, as their mission is to make everyone as miserable as they are.

They even go so far trying to rewrite history, claiming that if characters like Blade, Sarah Conner, Ripley were to appear today INCEL/CHUDS would hate them which wasn't the case even when they first appeared as they were great characters in great movies compared to the Mary Sue's of today who replicate the worst aspects of that "Toxic Masculinity" they hate because they think that it's a sign of strength and why every women put into a position of authority becomes a powertripping cunt as a result because they don't think they should have to work to gain any respect/trust thinking that being an arrogant condescending cunt is all they need to be in order to get it.

I also like to point out that 40+ years ago Eddie Murphy was Hollywood's biggest star (and happens to be my favorite comedian as Delirious and Raw are God-tier and the best stand up performances ever) Michael Jackson the world biggest musical performer (Thriller is my favorite music video) and Bill Cosby with a #1 hit TV show despite the lack of hindsight as to his legal issues over the last several years.

No one acknowledges that three black men once dominated entertainment that SJW's want to pretend never existed so they can call people bigots whenever some woke garbage fails.

And when/if something fails they instantly blame white right males who were told that it wasn't for them yet they still feel entitled to our time and money while insulting us and wrecking things then bitching as to why nothing is getting fixed fast enough which is usually because they're trying to prevent people from repairing the damage they caused and want to dump onto the next person who now has to take responsibility for whatever mess was left for them to clean up.

In conclusion white straight males can't have anything to themselves, as the attached pic explains this better than I could, so they want to push ugliness into everything and acting as a reflection of themselves inside and out.

Thanks for reading my blog which amounts to Jews fuck up everything because they're an evil ethnic supremacy cult of narcissistic sociopaths then use media to draw attention away from themselves and focus it on games where the primary demographic is white straight males so that women, blacks, gays, trannies will take their own self-loathing/hatred and use it to attack the people the Jews have told them their lives are shit and the only ones who could ever stop them!!!FACT!!!

Because vidya is just consumption, there is zero creation involved from the player you're just passively consuming it.
But unlike tradition forms of media consumption games trick your brain you're actually being productive so you don't feel bad about wasting god knows how many hours doing what is essentially nothing.
People like to pretend games are deep and meaningful, even more so than television or movies but its a complete load of crap. Just because a game like E33 made you cry doesn't mean its something deep, it just means your emotional maturity is completely stunted.

>>713920304

All hobbies have the stigma of being for losers. Any special interest that isn't do work, watch the circus, eat the bread, make more workers is looked down on by The Them.

From a society's point of view, video game is evil.
>You pay for $80 and get hundred of hours of fun
>You won't be spending more on society
>You are also occupied during the hundred of hours, leaving you unavailable for dating & producing more workers for society
>You also became self content and doesn't interact with the neighborhoods, slowly detaching yourself from society
Video game is evil and taking away profits from the (((society))), that's why it's getting demonized.

>>713911080 (OP)
Does anyone fucking think this anymore? I mean this was a common sentiment from older generations, but everyone younger uses "get on the game" and is excited for GTA6, etc. They fucking grew up on Fortnite.

It's my own thinking that the "Games are for losers" mantra was mainly thought up and propagated by """attention starved""" women. But men fucking love games, and dont care so much about women's opinions anymore, as they are now all OF models and gold diggers looking for a stan to pay their bills. That's why it's recently become more mainstream.

This post enlightened me so much and single-handedly made me change my views on video games. I now actually think that video games are for losers and I think that is objective correct view to have. I'm starting to feel the same way for anime as well.

Wait, is that why /v/ermin losers constantly spam muh player counts and muh stocks? Because they're extremely insecure about their hobby and think that if they act "mature" and pretend to know about the business side of things, then it's less childish?

It's because the (((media))) has used game in general to aim hatred away from them, telling everyone that gamers are the source of all of their problems and because narcissists' will never take responsibility for anything they're looking for someone and/or something to attack who they blame for not getting everything they way they wat all the time because they think they deserve them because they want them without having to work for them and use social media as their way of bullying people into caving into their demands.

As SJW is a 5 year old child screaming in the middle of a supermarket isle that they want icecream. They will continue until an adult caves in and gives them something from the shelf, the 5 year old now has what they want but it's never enough, so they throw the ice cream to the ground and start stomping on it while continuing to scream.

So the adult keeps giving them one case of ice cream after another with the 5 year old destroying each one and still screaming each time that it's not what they wanted, but also never explaining exactly what they want, so this cycle continues until there is no more icecream left.

>>713936883

The 5 year old is still screaming that they want icecream when there is none left because they've destroyed it. And because there's none left they now start screaming that they're being oppressed by not getting the thing they want that they already had handed to them that they clearly didn't care about and only wanted it because they think they deserved it because they wanted it and because they didn't have to earn it never appreciated it because that was never the point as it's about phytologically manipulating people because once you've dominated them using physical force the only thing left is to break their will and make you their slave at which point they have won everything over you.

This is why it's also not a coincidence that psychiatry was founded by two Jews (Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung) as well as the movie industry which is doing nothing but selling you emotions showing that Jews are masters of psychological manipulation operating on an insidious level beyond comprehension and why they have always dominated the media, and now social media, that they use to shape public opinion in their favor by inciting hatred between people on superficial issues like race/gender/sexual orientation instead of the Jewish crimes of CLASS WARFARE which is the only real warfare that affects everyone regardless of your race, gender and/or sexual orientation and do everything they can to keep the public from being reminded of it!!!FACT!!!

Because like the media that Jews use to distract people, they control the porn industry to keep everyone else docile as it's a distraction that the North American manifesting base and middle-class has been dying for the last 35+ years because of them.

Or does no one notice that Jews will cry about the 6 million but never tell you WHY 6 million were rounded up by the millions and exterminated? A government doesn't do that just because they didn't like a certain group of people while they're lying about the number.
Not saying it didn't happen but they picked 6 million because it's symbolic with the star of David which has six points and once again shows how Jews use things to psychologically manipulate people and the publics perception of them!!FACT!!!

>> how come video games still have this stigma for being a hobby for losers?
>Because it undeniably is. Sure, you can be normal and play a game to unwind for a half hour, one hour TOPS. But that's not what 99% of gamers are doing, and the games themselves are specifically designed to be as addictive and time-consuming as possible, rather than a healthy outlet.
>Can you name ANY game "community" where the people in it are successful, attractive, inspirational, or even pleasant to be around? It's just kids, losers, and freaks in every single one of them. Look at this place. Furfags, gooners, and outright pedos spamming their stupid fetish topics 24/7.
>I think there was very brief time in the late 90's to early 2000's right before broadband became widespread, where games encouraged healthy social interaction (4p couch play, LAN). Games like Dance Dance Revolution were at their peak, and brought people together in ways games today cannot (shared love of music, the endorphin rush of physical exhaustion, public meeting places). Back then it did seem like games could become something more than entertainment for kids and teens, that they might have their own unique place as entertainment we all enjoy casually.
>But that is absolutely not what played out.

Then why are your kind soo relentless in forcing your way into them?

It's because people enjoy them and you can't stand that and want everyone to be as miserable as you are because the (((media))) has told you white straight males are the reason why you're bitter hateful losers and looking to ruin things that groups care about.

Some white straight male is sitting at home playing games.

Let's be reasonable and logical, and face up to facts, women aren't human; they're not even like monkey's or orangutans. Those muddle-headed, pea-brained, waste-your-money liberals might want to brainwash you into thinking that girls are good for something other than sucking cock, but you and I and every other sensible man knows better. These sluts were put on Earth to steal your money; be whining, complaining and arrogant; and to serve as reasonably comfortable holsters for your erections when one is aroused by the call of nature.

First off, scientific research has it that women just aren't the same as men. They don't like things like cameras or computers or state-of-the-art stereos, simply because the higher centers of their brains aren't developed as well as a man's. Furthermore, according to a very fine article in The National Enquirer, it's been proven that women aren't as smart as men. It takes real guts to admit it, but women are mindless creatures... Don't let those detestable, ugly, disgusting, sour-pussed lesbian diesel-dyke Women's Libbers fool you, along with their cotillions of homo yes men. Women are most happy when they are serving their twin gods of Mammon and king cock.

Men work hard, make money, grind the wheels of business, only to fall victim to early deaths dealt out by the insane caprices of vengeful sluts... they should be rounded up in a pen filled with pigs and forced to eat filthy offal, and maybe then they would appreciate a fine figure of a man who wants to own and take care of them, even if he is perhaps just a wee bit nervous and high-strung and suspicious of some people's motives.

Because it's one of the hardest hobbies for women and society to part men from their money. That's literally it, no other reason.

GTA RP which is normalfaggot RP is the next most popular thing next to the mass corporate propped media that is LoL tournaments. Riot explicitly promotes LoL by pumping money into their monopolized competition. Americans love celebrity and drama over everything and the vast majority of vidya players are failed normalfaggots who still want to be a normalfaggot and support normalfaggots hollowing out their communities with guilt bullying and narrow mindedness. Life doesn't exist if it isn't focused on oversocialization to the American. They don't have hobbies in fact you are often guilted for having hobbies in American society because it signals you aren't trying to fit in. So it only makes sense that Americans also don't see vidya and anything involved in creating it as a valid hobby.

>>713911472
65-70% of the US population plays video games. My 80-year-old mother plays "jewel mania" or whatever those jewel puzzle games are on iPad. Probably every sufficiently advanced country, in which electronic devices are ubiquitous, the majority of people are playing some sort of video games.

Guess what, everyone IS a loser nowadays because the people who control the world worked for years to eradicate the middle class.
Now the serfs browse the internet, play shitty online games and consume idiotic netflix trash for hours each day while the richest go out in nature, take walks, go to vacations to tropical resorts, go go the gym and read books which normies used to do before.

When gaming was first for "losers", that was in the late 80s/ 90s, when it was catching on with introverts and a lot of kids into non "traditional" forms of entertainment
Then kinda reached a weird equilibrium around early/ mid 00s, then late 00s/ early 10s became casualized and became a cesspool of LCD marketing campaigns.
Now that the industry is almost completely catered to casuals, specfags, immersionfags, moviefags and just plain ol fags instead of socially awkward straight asian and white males with too much time (not necessarily money) on their hands...
It truly has become a loser industry, that will only become worse as time goes on, until it reaches a unsustainable point, which I believe is pretty much already here.

>>713911080 (OP)
A game can have appeal as a test of skill (Tetris), as a social outlet (WoW), or through its artistic elements. I think the artistic elements in games are hard to isolate and discuss because there are a lot of games, it takes a long time to consume each, and many games contain little to no artistry (they focus on the other two types of appeal). So anyone who would become a halfway serious cultural critic is driven away from the medium. There are some shorter games that market themselves on their artistry, but so far they tend to come off as twee and frivolous. I don't know what will change this situation, but I do think there's potential in the medium.

You're onto something but it's narrow minded. There are no more cultural touchstones. Game communities are degenerate because the internet provides evert niche, disgusting, stunted way of thinking a safe place to thrive.

>>713911080 (OP)
women don't like mentally stimulating activities. That's it. Most games in the beginning were tricky or hard, so you had to learn how to play them. Even Super Mario was hard when playing it for the first time. The idea of getting better at something to have a deeper fun with it as you learn and stuggle is very masculine, most women don't like that.
remember when games bcame "casual" during the facebook and wii era because there were more simple games for women? How popular games are is always directly related to what women think about it, because women control public sentiment. Men adhere to what women say, so if women say games are for losers, most men will say "y-yeah, I agree!"

>Touching your weiner is not "gameplay"

Gaming is a massive time consumer if youre not a normalfag that just plays some mobile/sports shit once in a while. Personally I dont have as much time to game as id want. In fact a true gamer can only be a socially isolated neet or shut in.

>>713915875
I'd rather be a loser and play video games than post tiktok videos.

>>713914672
Unlike shitposting on 4chan or scrolling tiktok, now those are healthy habits

Gaming isn't for losers, though games attract losers. Some of the most rich and successful people in the world play video games. Elon, Devin Booker, Demetrious Johnson, etc. all play games yet they have millions and have hot girlfriends. You are only seen as a "loser" by society when video games are all that you do, or are proud of. All it takes is for you to make 6 figures and have another hobby you're actually serious about

Take a look at any game tournament. Not too many supermodels scouting for prenups there. If your hobby isn't traveling the world, you are a loser.

Video games are the most normgroid hobby for men

>>713912313
Playing sports would be manly, watching them is cuckoldry. Unless it's sexy women in tight suits doing it.

yes gaming is still very stigmatized, despite it becoming a mainstream hobby, its become totally socially normal and yet still looked down upon as being unsexy for men. being a gamer is very stigmatized. don't let it phase you and just keep on gaming and playing what you love.

GAMERS RISE UP. FUCK YOU VERONICA.

Truly, gamers are the most oppressed group in society.

any grindy addiction simulator is for losers
real homies appreciate games that you can just bail from at a moments notice to handle important life shit. anything with an online ranked mode or grinding rewards is for chumps

Hobbies that produce something new. Even if it's just for themselves. Woodworking, painting, music, writing, cooking. Also exercise as a secondary hobby.

Gaming is just consumption of other peoples work.

Scrolling tiktok doesn't encourage various addictions like getting a better rank, a better time, etc. Plus, you could learn a lot from normal people about real world issues, and meet actual people on there.
