Yeah. This is an article. Could have also added "Befriended" there but Gamefaqs title limit said no.

"Instead of actually standing up for themselves and defending their families, they get to fight and defeat fake enemies created by talented animators without getting so much as a scratch on themselves and no real risk of getting hurt," he added.

"[...] also said video games give young men the illusion of accomplishment without the risk."

The Souls community in particular's ardent stance on no easier difficulty can attest to that.

Though a lot of gaming accomplishments get flaunted like they're some phenomenal thing rather than just a personal for-fun venture, the Souls community is quite vocal about it lmao

Sounds like Rizvi is a zombie of a different kind than those he is talking down about. He equates success in life to having fame, fortune, expensive things, beautiful women and being bigoted towards people who have a different interests instead of also being a good person. Sounds like the typical, preachy "I have the answer to society's woes!", holier than thou bullshit, and that he had a bad experience with someone who games and now goes out of his to make them seem like absolute plorables who are the root of all problems.

The author sounds like an old guard sexist happy to apply the double standard of pressuring men to be traditional providers and guard dogs, and only the men...

Bet he willfully ignores the existence of that single mom with 2 kids playing World of Warcraft or Candy Crush for the last 5 years in her spare time between work and childcare. Just because she enjoys a hobby does not mean she neglects her children and other adult duties. How she spends her free time she likely worked hard to make is her right.

That goes equal for the men who want to spend a little of their free time playing videogames and socializing with other players online. We're not just soulless beasts of burden...

He has a good point about people overindulging on video games, but he used a provocative click bait-y title for attention. I mean, he even says that he's fine with guys playing games for fun without it overwhelming their life.

You'd be surprised how many people born before 1980 aren't gamers. So, this isn't surprising, sadly. I can't also believe some people on here agree with him. They're probably not true gamers.

Oh, and opinion pieces in news sources should be phased out. The regular news is supposed to be unbiased.

Holy shit. Dude sounds crazy maladjusted for the current times. Projection at its finest.

He seems like the kind of guy that believes there are Alpha males and all the toxic ideas that go with that.

Fame, money and Family is the only way to measure ones success. Doesnt matter if your happy! /s

Because they are, relativily speaking. To which you can blame mainstream society for that.

When was the last time you've seen very many (single)man with a fraction of the frame and praise they and video game streamers receive who aren't a rapper, or sports star? Take your time.

Instead of driving awesome cars, beating out their competition, and getting beautiful women in real life, they get to do it all not just on a screen, but in VR, where the illusion feels even more real, despite being utterly non-existent," Rizvi said in a Facebook post recently.

ah yes, cause life is like a Fast and Furious movie apparently...

He's from Pakistan, he probably feels the same way about Islam as "secular humanists" here feel about Christianity.

Doesn't mean his viewpoint is correct, just something to think about.
