| Is it the public’s job to police what your son does or is it your job? |

| > Maybe I'm weird but I would much rather prefer my son plays video games 8 hours a day than watches adult content 8 hours a day. Isn't it the end result that matters? Presumably you'd like your son to become a functional adult. Neither of the scenarios you describe there sound like that to me (excepting perhaps "professional competitive gamer" but somehow I suspect most parents don't really approve of that outcome either). |

| ▲ | mgaunard 7 days ago | parent [-] | | I don't see how playing a lot of video games prevents being a functional adult. It's no worse than reading a lot of books or watching a lot of TV shows, activities that are not disparaged as much. | | |
| ▲ | fc417fc802 7 days ago | parent [-] | | I guess it comes down to time allocation. If you're spending "a lot" of time on it but not so much that it precludes conducting the rest of your life in a functional manner then why would spending the same amount of time on porn (or any other supposedly degenerate activity) be any different? |
