These people don't just play games, they're oversocialized autogynephilic weirdos. The proliferate in gaming, programming and any other field where a digital barrier makes their presence more palatable to others (if only barely). As they would be ousted from anywhere they were not supported by other weirdos due to being intolerable.

This. Trannies are attracted to anything that lets them play pretend. It's a case of correlation, rather than causation, though. Same with "violent video games" and it attracting literal psychopaths - it doesn't cause them to become one, it just attracts them. Video games are appealing to different people for different reasons, who fucking knew?
Also, reminder that trannies are prevalent on 8chan as well as cuckchan for the same reason. Always be wary of the eternal dickchopper.

No. Trannies are all about attention. "Look at me I'm so special". Every time you call a tranny by their preferred pronoun you validate them and their sick minds. By that token, they rarely do anything anonymous. You can't be special if you are anonymous, you can't force people to give you special treatment and attention. If any of them do frequent 4chan they probably do so as tripfags in major circlejerk threads.
Not to be confused with autogynephiles of course. Those are just fetishists who think the grass is greener. Sometimes they are preyed upon by psychiatric quacks, but usually they realize there's no physical way to experience their fetish and since they don't crave special attention (directly as a result of said fetish) they also don't go around calling themselves a different gender or forcing others to recognize their degeneracy.

Of course it is, fast and hard games improve your reaction time so you can give it to old people to improve their cognitive abilities. If you're blind, like terribly so, then playing games blind improves your eyesight although you still won't be able to read shit.

No, you are just confusing one group with the other. The liberal shitheads want to claim it doesn't exist. Usually they will group it as "straight-trans" or some other nonsense, completely missing the point because to them everyone has to be an identity. The separation that they are incapable of understanding is that one can have a fetish without identifying as the thing they fetishize.

90% accurate, which is why TAS scripted runs are even capable of existing. The other 10% though they have to deal with RNG (TAS can manipulate RNG in many games, but humans can't), especially in the form of enemy patterns and things of that nature, at which point memorized inputs no longer help.

In the long run maybe. Back up strats, alt strats and multiple other variables exist. Many games have much more aspects that aren't necessarily about finding the best lines. Speedrunning itself isn't degenerate, anybody can become overly attached to anything to the point of insanity.

I mean, if you're going to expand "socialization" to include bare bones interactions with strangers in an online rpg, why not just call sitting alone in a room "socialization" too? No one will ever be socially mal-adapted then!
I like vidya like I like candy, but I don't have to rationalize candy as "good" for me. Vidya isn't a substitute for real interactions with your family and community, just because it's not as bad as the absolute cancer that is social media doesn't make it "good".

This. Also consider the fact that the Government of Canada directly funds game studios in Montreal, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that this entire study is a means to keep that corruption going.
Children should be encouraged into riding bikes and throwing footballs, when they get into highschool is when they can start playing vidya freely.

Kids have very little self-restraint, are highly susceptible to peer-influence, and have no discipline as a consumer. They're the most likely demographic to spend shit-tons of their parents cash on microtransaction garbage, even if they have to steal from their parents to do so. People were only worried about the negative effect of games on children so long as they couldn't milk them for a continual revenue stream. Now that's going to shift to kids being encouraged to spend more time indoors and online playing video games as a healthy social activity. And if they can just hold on for a generation, those kids will grow up to be adults to teach those behaviors to their own kids - and will defend through nostalgia fueled fondness the institution of lootboxes.

Sadly, vidya communities are probably healthier than those nurtured by social media. The majority of normalfag interactions are mediated through faceberg, twitter, et al. algorithms, which encourages a steady stream of inane content and presenting yourself as a character, rather than simply behaving "naturally".

It's mainly just spics who do this. For some reason, those Aztec-blood half-niggers love spouting unfunny memes ad nauseum. You see those types here, as well, if you're astute enough. I've recognized the sentence style of spics to a T by now. I've heard they infest discord a lot, but haven't much experience with that for obvious reasons. One last thing to look out for are SE Asians who also love spouting unfunny memes but these are the ones who tend to be "ironic" weeaboos, sticking only to mainstream anime and occasionally more obscure ones whenever a meme about it floats to the surface.
Beware the shitskin menace, my friends.

You can like video games while acknowledging that a child spending the majority of their free time on video games is maybe not the healthiest thing.
Then again, what can a kid even do these days? They go outside, they get raped or shot. They join any kind of club or social group, it will probably quickly become a social justice recruiting center, and then they'll get raped and shot.

Fear garners control, not exactly a hot take but it's true. Media outlets use it for profit but also more heinous motives like destroying strong families/social cohesion. >>16712684 is a great example of someone falling for it, same way the catch a predator show now makes anyone who even acknowledges a kid exists is a kid-toucher. When I was growing up in the 90s these stigmas weren't as entrenched. As a boy I had a neighbor that I was friends with, he was in his 50s and I would help him with light yard work and other various tasks, he'd also teach me things about woodworking and painting. I even made some of my best friends while hanging out with him because he had other kids my age helping him aswell. One day I spilled the paint on my shirt and he helped me feel better about it, he told me that when a man works he takes his shirt off and for his life tips and apprenticing all he asked was that I pose for some photos. I don't remember much beyond that, it's always troubled me that I can't.
