>porn and video games are ruining our generation of men>not women and the stateI'm not even mad, I'm just disappointed.
I swear this article comes around every few years and they just change the date.
Now is our chance, guys. We should be able to find a girlfriend with minimum effort, right?
I JUST WANNA PLAY VIDEO GAMESJUST WANNA PLAY VIDEO GAMESJUST WANNA PLAY VIDEO GAMESJUST WANNA PLAY VIDEO GAMESALL THE TIME AND ERRYDAY
Oh look, more male shaming. I see that they realized men are retreating to video games to get away from a society that hates them, and are now setting their eyes on ruining it.
>Implying Porn hasn't existed for 50 years>This is somehow one generation
I live alone.Videogames are my main interest. I have something that I love and I have the expenses to pay for it. I am completely independent and I enjoy my life.Suck it, feminists. I ain't need no woman in my life.
>>140849089
This is nothing new. The media blaming a certain something for why men aren't "men" or some shit, when it's really just been the feminist movement as a whole causing it. Chivalry is dead and feminism killed it, because angry women don't want to be 'insulted' by having the door held open for them or whatever the fuck.Guys stand to lose everything in relationships, even if a prenup is made, thus guys lose interest in making relationships, or even being "manly" whatever the fuck that means. Also video games is a great scapegoat for ANYTHING you can possibly make up.>His grades are dropping! Must be the video games>He doesn't have a girlfriend! Must be the video games>He goes out and parties all night and drinks himself into oblivion! Must be the video gamesThere's no logic to anything when it comes to media sensationalism.The article is comparing video games to fucking heroin and coke abuse - it's bullshit through and through.

>mfw feminism and homosexuality are against my religion anyways
I am a woman, all i do is play games and read porn.Shut the fuck up CNN.Also why the hell is the stock image two guys with N64 controllers.
Except that it was written by a world renowned psychologist.The illogical rage that /v/ goes through when its favorite hobby is under attack

>>140849447>implying /v/'s favorite hobby is video gamesSeriously...
>>140849447>a world renowned psychologist.>The Stanford Prison experiment was conducted at Stanford University from August 14 to August 20 of 1971 That was his first and last mark of renown. And it happened forty years ago.Guy has been full on hack mode ever since.
I'm more mad at the 2 faggots holding the N64 controllers wrong than anything else.
B-but I'm a female and all I do is sit on my ass and play games and watch porn.Am I on the demise too? I sure hope CNN lets me know!
Well it's kinda of true.... but they didn't mention the reasons why men are using video games & porn to escape reality. Have they looked at the opposite gender recently? They now have more power over men, this is because women want special treatment, so big corporate brother implements laws revolving around women. How can men be "MEN!" if women can lie about rape and throw us in jail?How can men be MEN if society has absolutely no fucking clue what it's going to do next? A hundred years ago, they had SOOO much more to look forward to, such as traveling to the moon. What do we have? All we look forward to is the next Avengers film and Call of Duty, that's it. Men are losing motivation because our society/species is losing motivation because something is holding us back from taking the next step.*cough* global banking elites *cough*
Just so you guys know this is exactly the kind of fringe-writer reactionary sensationalist bullshit you call out the less educated and older people for falling victim to whenever they watch Fox News, you're literally no better.
CNN sucks. Every time I go to their website there's a story related to christianity for no reason and an "opinion" article. Fuck off.
>>140849713It's okay for women to not do anything to contribute to society, it's only men who are shamed for not becoming worker drones

>>140849676>And it happened forty years ago.That's not how life works anon. You don't just dismiss someone's accomplishments because they happened a really long time ago. That's like spitting the the face of a WWII vet because he never amounted to anything after the war.

I could probably get funding right now for a study that says that blue is confusing our children.

>>140847320> With porn and videogames, men are discovering that the work and effort it takes to court a woman and gain access to her cunt, particularly given the incredible level of self worth media instills in every woman, is not actually worth it.And this is a bad thing?
>women's faces when men are starting to realize they don't need a woman to be happy
>>140849958Except psychology is an entirely different playing field where time can discredit your work. Look at homosexuals being a mental illness.
They aren't holding it wrong depending on the game. There were some games like fighters that didn't use the analog stick.
So basicallyMen must focus entirely on college and get a well paying jobs so that they can buy women pretty things.And women can just go do whatever the fuck they want?Hell fucking no. Suck my dick, CNN.
>>140849958>That's like spitting the the face of a WWII vetIf a WWII vet started spouting off how he knows how to run islamic counter insurgency because he saw Patton drive by in a jeep, then he can go fuck himself too.>You don't just dismiss someone's accomplishments because they happened a really long time ago.And you don't give credence to hasbeens because they had one sole accomplishment in the past.

>Guys are also totally out of sync in romantic relationships, which tend to build gradually and subtly, and require interaction, sharing, developing trust and suppression of lust at least until "the time is right.">Implying
Actually I can agree with this study. I've been playing video games since I was 2 and looking at porn since I could move a mouse on a 9600baud modem equipped computer, and fucking EVERYTHING is boring to me now. EVERYTHING.I DO require CONSTANT stimulation or I go crazy.

This reminds me of a blog post I read yesterday.http://no-maam.blogspot.ca/2012/05/rites-of-passage-boys-to-men.htmlBasically it's society's fault that men are turning out like this. What in the hell did they expect when they feminize us and remove all incentives for us to "man up"?

>>140851514>feminists emasculate and discriminate against men>complain when men decide they don't want to put up with this shit anymore and turn to videogames and the internet
Does anyone see the inconsistency with saying gaming has turned males into lazy do-nothings then using an example of a guy playing games while he dedicates his life to killing a shit-ton of people?
I do agree with some of the articles that discuss the "pussification" of young men, and theres some merit to it. It's harder to be driven o now with all the convenience of technology, lack of work/competition, and the devaluing of men. It just pisses me off when people think i'm lazy. I'm not lazy, I can just do shit faster than then walking around the city trying to find a job. It's difficult to live or hard to move out on a Part-Timers salary and shit is kinda against us. Our dad's generation is never going to understand that.
Expected what I got.A tame study which shows that addiction is bad, and that the items on their own aren't bad things, but that being addicted to them is harmful.And from this, a retarded news outlet sensationalizes it, and makes a absolutionist (as well as incorrect) decision that video games and porn are bad for you.Just CNN being CNN. This time, video games are the SARS.

>>140851815I think that it's an equivalent exchange thing.Everyone gets shit even if it's just incidental stuff like not getting raped or having your house burnt down because there's stuff like police. The idea is that you should be personally contributing back to society through taxes and not trying to rape and burn down houses.

This whole line of discussion has spawned some of the stupidest shit I've personally ever seen anywhere. If you want to maintain a shred of intellectual dignity, I'd steer clear of this whole mess.Ultra heavy porn and video game use really will change your brain, but whether it's a bad thing and whether it's responsible for perceived flaws in our society are questions that are beyond anyone's ability to answer.
>>140852962It does. I'll hold a door for someone if they've got like a shitload of bags in their hand or something but I'm just walking along like normal and someone opens up the door and if I walk through the door they're holding open I have to do this weird turn anyway to head up the stairs.

>imply video games and porn are causing young males to become anti-social>open with a picture of two boys playing video games together
Porn IS bad. But it's not just men who are guilty of abusing it.No I'm not some moralfag, nor am I a Christian. But porn desensitizes the brain to sexuality, and creates a false image of what it's really supposed to be about. It's not about etching tallies into your bedpost. Sex can be about many things, stress relief, boosting morale and self-esteem, and sometimes compassion, trust, and on very rare occasions, love (not to be confused with lust). Porn has turned sex from something personal, healthful, and spiritual into something purely social.And because of porn, every woman thinks every dick below 7 inches is small, and men think there's no risk of getting shit on your dick when you fuck a girl in the ass.The world's view on sex is pretty fucked up, and it's undeniably because of unrealistic depictions of sex in pornography.
Well this reminds me, it's about time for my daily fap, then I'll play some videogames >/v/ >playing videogames. Any suggestions?
>Writers: So, are video games causing he demise of men?>"Scientists": Yes. All the math and science and... stuff points to yes. Absolutely. Imagining this conversation in my head is hilarious.

BREAKING NEWSEVERY MALE ON THE INTERNET LOOKS AT PORN AND PLAYS VIDEO GAMESI get it. You guys don't want to change, even if there were stronger evidence that porn, excess gaming, and excess solitude aren't good for a developing person, they would reject it. It's similar to how to south opposed getting rid of slavery. It's their way of life, so don't expect it to go away.Just saying though. In the coming years there will be more hard scientific evidence to back these claims and you won't have an excuse.
It's the feminist I tell you. Girls have a unrealistic expectation of guys these days.
>>140853454my only problem is I don't have enough MONEY to fund my hedonism properly.Quick, how do people make money these days? I can't just go out and kill like, goblins for cash, can I?

>>140852090What's so wrong about someone being polite and nice to you?If someone is holding the door open for me, I'll look them in the eyes and give a smile while thanking them because that's the polite thing to do. If we're both going inside or both leaving and there's another door (like at some restaurants), I'll rush ahead and open the next door for them in return. Why? Because it's nice.>>140852096Which is an incredible shame. No one should be forced to die. It's a real tragedy. Yet for those people - regardless of gender - who truly did let someone else aboard the life boat instead of them...They're heroes.>>140851979>>140852778Good sirs, continue to uphold these values.

>>140853525Most of these studies aren't even conducted by real scientists and shit all over proper rigor.Due to this I've replaced the image of a scientist in your description with that of a used car salesman and now I can't stop laughing.
>>140853120if you go to a funeral and see people crying, they won't be shamed. humans aren't perfect, and anyone pretending to be is an immature douchebag. that shit only flies until your mid-30s when young girls aren't interested in you. so, literally, MAN THE FUCK UP and accept the human condition
Chivalry was dead the moment women demanded they were men's equals. Chivalry is the acknowledgement that women were the weaker sex, and the social contract between the sexes was that men would give women special treatment and women would respond in kindness to it. Women wanting equality and chivalry just shows how greedy they are
>>140849857>>140850037I read porn, and I am a guy. Although, I do read super fast.
>>140853525>http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/zimbardo-video-games.php>Zimbardo begins the talk by citing high school dropout statistics for boys versus girls, but his other charges lack solid statistics.So basically the dude saying this made it up.
>>140853590You should do what the CNN hack article would have you do (ie: work hard, make cash), then spend it on yourself rather than a woman. Simple.
>>140853480I've come to realize after dating and fucking 28 women in the past four years that the only thing I miss about relationships was the sex, which I don't even like that much to begin with.I don't want offspring yet, so there is absolutely no point in me wasting my time with a needless relationship with a woman I don't want. It's not like there's only one girl out there for me and if I miss my chance with her then it's gone forever. When I'm ready for kids, there will always be someone within my standards who I can get committed to, unless some sort of apocalyptic event happens.
>>140853506I have no idea how you make the connection that porn makes sex "purely social". I don't see what that has to do with anything.That it gives unrealistic expectations about sex and can be desensitizing, probably. After looking at perfect women with nicely bleached anuses for years the real thing doesn't seem so great, sometimes.
>>140853531Alphas sure as hell don't bow down to women
>>140853548Why do we need an excuse? If we earn the money to pay for our hobby, we are doing as much for society as anyone. And maybe, if by some apocalyptic madness, females become desperate in terms of being able to find suitable partners, they will have to find a way to impress men for the first time in history. God fucking forbid?Seriously, where are the studies of the way adolescent female culture is "degrading"? Because genuinely, it is "as bad or worse" to put it in the arguments terms, when compared to adolescent male culture.

>>140853669>What's so wrong about someone being polite and nice to you?It's wrong when it's expected of you to do it only for the opposite sex, while you're told not to expect it in return
>>140853765isn't that basically what MGTOW is?
>>140853707>implying the divorce wasn't completely justified because she got bored of the beta male she turned her man into.
>>140853079>i dont even know why you are talking about itBecause even though I'm independent enough that I live on my own, the broader ideal of self-sufficiency is ever more MADE UP BULLSHIT.Think, who wants you to move out at 18, go to college on a loan, graduate, get a job, get 10 loans to pay for a house, car, and more. That's the path to "self sufficiency." And it starts over every generation.Only western civilizations believe in this bullshit where it's "MANLY MACHO MEN" that abandon their previous family to go and start their own.In nearly all eastern societies, families support and grow their success as a unit, for multiple generations. A proper family has enough wealth to take care of dozens of scions.But again, who REALLY wants you to sever all ties with your parents and dump yourself out in the world with no resources, credit, or industry? Who really profits from "pressing reset" on every generation?The answer might surprise you.
>>140853548My excuse will be that I don't give a shit.
>>140853669I don't want them to be polite and nice toward me if it puts pressure on me to do something I don't want to do. That's not politeness, that's social coercion.I don't see where this 'you can't refuse something meant to be polite' comes from.
>car broke down last night>sat in a service station parking lot for a few hours waiting for a tow truck>group of 20-somethings were also sitting around in the parking lot doing nothing the entire time I was there and were still there when I left>this is considered a more socially acceptable way to spend a saturday night than spending it playing video games
Social contract. The Jews broke it. Everyone is going to hell, but at least the white males will go happy while the white women bitch and moan, struggling to take as much advantage of the dying system as they can.
Am I the only one who holds a door open for everyone? I figured that was just proper manners in some scenarios.You don't do it when there's huge lines of people rushing around, but if there is one person behind you it'd be nice if you held it open for just a second longer.Guess I'm just weird.
>>140853707yes go on a tangent about what my analogy WASN'T about. i was talking about changing someone's way of life. also I'm a guy. I have no idea what that second part is about.

Because I only watch porn where chicks vomit and shit on tiny dicks all day.>The world's view on sex is pretty fucked up,And you're just another notch in that bedpost statistic.>and it's undeniably because of unrealistic depictions of sex in pornography.It's most likely attributed more to people being fucking idiots, like yourself.This shit gets passed around long before porn and most women don't even watch excessive amounts or a lot. They don't tally the different guys and they don't sit there and say, well if that one guy has a twenty inch dick then everyone who doesn't is tiny. (well yeah they kind of do that, but not because of porn)
>>140853741>if you go to a funeral and see people crying, they won't be shamedIf a man cries because his women left him, he will be told to "man up" and get over it.

>>140853931Yes, MGTOW is men saying fuck you to society and concentrating on what they want to do.
>>140854089Nah, I do that. I feel bad when I'm spaced out, don't realize there's somebody behind me, and then let the door slam in their face.

>>140853928But isn't the whole concept behind doing something generous is to not expect something in return to begin with? Otherwise it's not really generous because you are selfishly expecting the other person to do something in return.And who says you have to do it just for one gender? Yeah the old-fashion codes of conduct taught to only do it for the opposite sex but that doesn't mean you're limited to just that. Instead of being a bitter and spiteful, you can be kind to everyone.
>>140853016Sir, I applaud you. I agree completely with youits sad but the only way to get away from this garbage is to leave america. Maybe go to japan where most guys look like fags and the women arent as used to real men and the real men look like elvis presley faggots

Now my mothers no fucking angel but she didn't beat us then treat us like shit, verbally abuse us, and be a gigantic douche about everything. She just wasn't a very competent parent, which on the scale of parents is pretty average, maybe a tad bit more than average. She could have been a whole lot worse compared to others.
