>>48781882>>48781849the idea that pokemon is a “kids game” has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game, or the universality of the appeal. it is purely based on a cultural bias against gamers. somehow, its still culturally sanctioned to shit on gamers, and this argument is just a distorted version of “man up, grow up,” or “act like an adult.” its an erronerous concept meant to entangle you in shame based thinking in order to motivate you to deny your own wants and needs and desires and subordinate those to a “cultural imperative,” which is pressuring people to marry obtain a mortgage get a degree etc. anyone who pursues alternate paths is shamed for it, in order to alter their behaviour by shame based motivation. i simply acknowledge the fallaciousness of the “argument” that its a kids game and i do not accept the shame based identification its meant to invoke. fee free to bandy about an argument that is based on prejudice against gamers and against men in general however.
