    It says children who cares

    Americans are so goddamn spoiled and individualistic that they think a country is evil for limiting the time kids play video games lmao

    Y'all won't mention the Belt and Road debt traps or 996 but gaming?? Now it's an atrocity. America down terrible.

    China sucking and China occasionally doing good things are not mutually exclusive possibilities

    The US sucks but it does good stuff sometimes too, every country does. Encouraging kids to prioritize academics over gaming is objectively a good thing, I wish the US would do something similar tbh. If y'all in grade school you need to be immersed in learning and building real life relationships.

    Gaming isnt inherently antisocial for kids

    It is patently antisocial lol yelling at someone over a microphone to take cover while someone drops a digital bomb on you is not socializing it is virtual reality training

    It blocks online play

    You basically need the equivalent of SSN ID to plays games online in China, so everything is tracked

  • How can they enforce this does their government have this much surveillance

    Social media is anti-social as hell s*** spiked depression rates like crazy and mfs don't know how to date to save their f***ing lives anymore

    Anything that yielded the Tide Pod challenge and fight compilations is antisocial

    Antisocial people with certain tendencies will gravitate towards any activity where they can be alone lol

    It's not video games doing it -- socially healthy kids can use gaming a tool to connect more with friends over something fun

    I don't even have a game system but this stigma towards gaming is very weird

  • Millennials and Zoomers are socially inhibited emotionally crippled profoundly empty people writ large, speaking from experience. Oversaturation of digital media and alienation from interpersonal engagement is a direct influence on this phenomenon.

    Also worth mentioning some games have so much story telling and lore to them they're very much interactive books and often spawn a lot of creativity in many young people

    Gaming is fine. I own a gaming PC, PS4, and Switch. Children absolutely need to be monitored with what they play, especially with regards to modern, hypereal gaming

    Well aware lol, I wrote a paper on Metal Gear Solid 2 in college

    Gaming is dope, regulating it for young kids isn't a bad thing tbh. There'll be some loophole kids can use to exploit this too, retro gaming on s*** that doesn't have Internet accessibility being the most obvious one.

    No more chinese kids hacking my lobbies

  • I am grateful my parents monitored and limited my gaming until I was like a high school senior, where I was pretty solid at regulating my own gameplay at that point

    Kids need to be taught balance and to prioritize what's important in life. S*** doesn't come naturally and when you're not taught this you end up like most deadbeat motherfuckers in the USA and Britain lmao.
