>>36096860I blame feminism and capitalism... seriously, mothers now decide to work instead raising children, so those leave with someone else with a no real sentimental tie to the kid, so those are left doing non dangerous activities like videogames, those kids end up using this hobby filling the absence the parents leave on them, becoming an important part of their lives through adulthood, wich is reinforced with the nostalgia effect.
The capitalist life style made adult workers with no much time to socialize outside the work field, so thir little free time is always spent on hobbies that no request an specific mount of time.
