How is playing video games bad but watching lifetime movies is somehow more productive?

What’s the difference? I’m not speaking about all women. Just hypocritical ones. Just because someone does something in their free time doesn’t make them bad unless it’s taken to extreme.

Watching TV is just as unproductive as video games. People just like to do something to relax and escape reality for a bit. It’s not that serious.

Actually, video games are known for improving hand-eye co-ordination, and can help improve performance under pressure.
Just sitting there watching TV like a zombie contributes to butt spread and little else. 😁

Yeah. People who judge video games but watch hours of television crack me up.

I come from a family where even my grandmother played video games, so it’s never been a weird pastime for us.

[Asker]

Well that’s good. My family isn’t judgmental. I just think people who are are funny.

There isn't a difference.

I never cared much for this debate. I'm just going to play video games when I feel like playing video games, lol...

[Asker]

Exactly. You do you. If someone has a problem. They are free to go. You will find someone who doesn’t care or will even play with you.

Honestly, I don't even think it's much of an unpopular opinion anymore. I know plenty of adults in their 40s who game. I have never met anyone my age who has a problem with it either. Now and then I'll see people (mostly women) complain like anyone gives a fuck but that's about it, lol.

[Asker]

Yeah that is true. It was always old people who sat around watching tv all day who would get angry.

[Asker]

Which makes me laugh. Video games might not be someone’s thing. I hardly play anymore. But. Whatever. It’s their free time.

[sirderpsalot123]

I agree with you. As you said, you do you.

[Asker]

Exactly. Thanks.

[sirderpsalot123]

No problem

Some people are going to criticize whatever one does. My solution is to ignore them and do what I want.

Great point
