On Video Games

Because females don't like it and they have to prance around like monkeys to get that sweet validation from their master.

I was a hardcore DotA player, top 10% in the country and could have gone pro. But I gave that up because I knew it had no long term future for me. Moreover it took up almost my entire day. Used to play around 6-8 hours daily and around 20 hrs on weekends.

Gaming is addictive, but it's also true that gaming can teach you a lot about life. As long as you keep it in moderation and only play certain genres you should be fine. Heck, as long as you don't do it in excess, video games are actually good for you. The redpill fuckers who hate on video games are okay with binge watching TV shows (Game of Thrones etc) which is a far more braindead activity.

TRP is still a female-primary community. They are a bunch of performance artists desperately trying to find the right kind of interpretative dance to make women like them.

Because of this, they view everything from the lens of the impact it has on women, not on the men themselves. Women are turned off (usually, at the very least they are neutral) on video games, and thus TRP doesn't like video games.

I play video games and smoke pot and I'm a millionaire. I'm semi-retired at 35, I've run my own business and when I was a corporate employee I was highly sought after.

Video games, drugs and escapism don't make a person a loser, it's just that a lot of people who are losers are attracted to these things.

Video games are shamed because society reinforces the mentality that its for children. Because people grow up without questioning things they heard(dogs tongues are cleaner than a human/women are the fairer sex/real man bullshit), they get used to it. The view social approval for this.

Look at it like this: Sports viewing is a complete waste of time. You stand or sit around and watch these players go at it. There is not a single real benefit outside of monetary gain for a handful. People also collect sport memorabilia which of course costs money. How many men watch sports? On the female side, look at female focused magazines. They are usually about who is dating/marrying/divorcing/cheating/having kids/who lost weight or gained weight/celebrity fashion and drama shows. No benefit to any of that. Yet, you never see these men who bash men for playing video games bash these women.

Men have to stupid idea in their head what being a man is. They shame video games under it being a waste of time. Right. Because RP men are totally being productive with their time nonstop right? Are these people purely on a healthy diet nonstop? Is having sex actually productive? Or is it supported because a male group says so? Is smoking weed or drinking beer really productive? Eating out even if you make good money is that not still a poor decision?

There was a guy on here who turned his nose up against playing video games and so called "nerdy" hobbies and sees them as a waste of time. I doubt that guy as well is only living a life in which everything he does is all about being productive. Let's say you also wanted to learn how to play a guitar. But you only do so for yourself. You're not in a band and no one knows that you can play. Is that a waste of time? Or is that acceptable because it'll get social approval?

People have things they do for fun and short term and long term goals. I play video games because they're fun. I don't give a shit that a bunch of men find it "unmanly and a waste of time" because I bet they are wasting their time doing shit too. The only time anyone can argue against video games is when you are playing it to a self destructive point. Which basically means do everything in moderation.

"Anyone else heavily play games but still get shit done?"

Well dunno how to do this without it seeming like bragging but me- I live alone (have for 5 years now) and I do all of the following with no help:

-Keep a clean house

-Cook real, nutritious food (slow cookers rule btw)

-Work 48 hours a week (4 12 hour shifts)

-Work out 4-5 times a week with weights for ~20min

-Hike 2 hours daily with my dog

-Do bodyweight exercises almost every day at random times

-Take care of my daughter on weekends

-Hang out with friends once a week

-Play my drums at least 2x a week.

And I play video games anywhere from 10-40 hours a week.

Almost anything is doable without women sucking up your time and resources.

TRP probably doesn't like video games because women don't like video games. Video games are a waste of time aka entertainment. A rational person wouldn't worry about other people's entertainment. Since people are irrational, different forms of entertainment are trendy and go in and out of style.

I don't play video games regularly and don't get shit done.

Silver-Noxx · 2018-01-07T16:56:08+00:00

Because the redpill is all about getting laid. Not going your own way and doing what makes you happy. Playing video games will be a turn off to women, you won't be out there improving yourself to look better and make more money to impress women. It's all about lifting and holding frame bruh.

RadicalAsceticMonk · 2018-01-07T19:54:23+00:00

You younglings and your videogames and your masturbation. Why can't you man up, find a nice woman, and start a family, have three or more kids?

Depends on what you mean by heavily.

I have played a game for several hours for several weeks during my designated time off recently. Both holiday off days, and days I decided to take off. I probably played over 100 hours in the past three weeks.

Is that healthy? No, but the only reason I did is because A) I wanted to and B) I played nothing for the 4 or 5 months leading up to it. I focused on advancing myself. Gone are the days where I can just sit in front of the screen for hours during summer vacation.

As a man, you are a human doing. That is what you are. Your worth in the rat race is defined by what you can bring in, and what place you hold in the pecking order. Everyone is looking to take from you, everyone is looking to get their cut. Your time, your money, your presence, all benefits someone at some time. But when you just sit down in front of that screen? Pretty much the only one benefiting is you. And that, Jack? That's a problem for everyone else. Think about it. Think real hard if you've ever had people give you shit for playing vidya. Don't just reflexively point out that they're hypocrites for enjoying fantasy football, or watching netflix, or whatever. Nobody seems to care as much about that. Now ask why. It's about time

Everyone wants your time elsewhere. And men who criticize it? It might seem confusing, but it's really not. Men want validation of their own pursuits. After all, if they have that - then their ego investment is protected. TRP want people following their tenets and practicing game.

We are MGTOW, we do whatever the fuck we want. TRP will sacrifice things like video games to chase pussy. They spend all their time chasing pussy, we spend out time however we wish.

Games are a competitive masculine activity. People stop playing them when they start eating soy instead of meat.

CeleritySteam · 2018-01-07T22:15:54+00:00

Here is why. The Red Pill is a bunch of pussy worshipping blue pillers. They consider getting pussy "easy" if it only involves making 4 fake accounts and getting a few pictures from a professional photographer and going through 100 thots in exchange for 2 that actually meet in the real world. Not meat, as in fuck, just telling the bitch hi or some shit.

Now if you price correct for pussy's correct value (damn near zero), are you gonna spend all that time and money for a few seconds of climax (possibly)? No, of course not. Video games are one of the many forms of entertainment that are superior, thus everything better must be banned or you won't waste your time on thots. Further, this crowd bears half the responsibility for broken females since they massively boost the bitches egos by giving them far more attention than their looks deserve even if it is just for a one off fuck. (the other half is TradCON cucks who take over post WALL). Provided you go for some multiplayer team based game it might even be better for social interaction, or you might just get salty that your team is a bunch of retards.

They know full well if they don't discourage the many superior forms of entertainment people will just focus on those. Lastly, it's not even about exercise and physical fitness since if you're doing those things for you you still will. It's because they know that's only for some thot as well, it's men being as fake as women so they can get women.

TRP is all about getting girls and playing video games has no benefit with regard to that. They believe the majority of one's time should be spent at the gym, making money, socializing, cruising dating apps, and engaging in other activities that increase the chances of getting laid.

When it comes down to it, video games are no different than watching tv, movies, reading fiction books, or browsing reddit.
