Asian Parents

I don't understand why they consider gaming bad? Just a few moments ago we were watching news of a star kid getting for consuming banned drugs, he recently came to india after completing his college overseas & then my dad started saying these rich kids just go to foreign countries & start doing bad things like drugs, gaming. I said why you are considering gaming bad & he started a small argument started with me & at the end nothing changed he still considers gaming bad. He says gaming should only be done as a hobby for 10-15 min after doing 4-5 hours of work.

Thats Asian parents to you, they wont change with time and you cant make them

i think the main reason is
they are like old school so they dont know like the current trends
so they dont know the pros and cons of gaming
they only see the bad instead of goods

not tryna offend anyone
theyre all amazing people

I mean most parents especially ones from places like Asia did not grow up with video games so they don't fully understand what the pros and cons are to them. Obviously a life without video games would benefit the world but I mean it's meant to be a leisurely activity like watching the TV or having a nap. Your parents might say its unproductive but you're right in the sense that in this day and age its okay to play video games during your down time

Game bad if you <18 or unemployment, you can still play game tho, but waste a lot of time when you <18 or unemployment is bad move.
If you're 18+ and got a job, do whatever make you happy.

hhaaahah now you guys won't understand when you become a responsible guy you will understand your parents fear

My parents were like that but all I do is maintain good grades and they dont budge me at all now

I think people tend to underestimate gamers as lazy and not hard working people. I remember when I was gaming way back it was seen as a taboo and looked down upon. Most gamers I met are damn productive in their real lives it's insane. They have real jobs, work really hard and even highly intelligent at times, well the older gamers anyway but I have no doubt hyperactive teens who play games also have massive potential. Me being the odd one out of course haha

a lot of them doesnt know about the esports scene in general and for them gaming is just another fun activity u do when u're free not something that u can make a living out of

He is totally true. If you arent earn any money from playing games Every minute you spend playing games is time wasting.

last year my brother got a full racing wheel and pedals setup for my father so that he can enjoy games like Forza Horizon. My father had a car accident and he never drove after. He's now retired and spends a good time on Horizon 4. Now the three of us are scolded by my mom for being late for dinner.

And then dad sits at home watching others play ipl 🤡

Gaming is wrong when u have an addiction
valorant addiction kinda fucked me up back then
It kinda affected my mental health. And also my posture.
But now, I overcame it.
just don't get addicted to it and u are good to go.

drugs bad gaming bad

I think it also depends on the culture, for example my parents are Asian but are Westernized. They don’t care what I do as long as I do my work and get good grades. Personally I think parents who monitor your every move and keep tabs on you doesn’t allow you to learn personal responsibility on your own as you’ll become used to people telling you to do something.
