I for one love gaming. Also memes about how old people are stupid and deserve our scorn. Love those too.

I don't think this is about hating old people, it's about old people who hard on young people for dumb stuff for no reason, while being no better themselves

I've had old people harp on me for playing video games, abd then all they did was sit and watch TV and drink beer

My dad-in-law is like this, dismisses games as a "time wastin brainrot "then proceeds to sit in the dirty diaper of 'tv news opinions' he just leaves on the tele all day

Yeah but video games literally are better for your brain than TV. This isn't just being no better than young people, they literally are rotting their brain while the young person playing video games might actually be bettering themselves. It's peak projection.

Or worse, they play their own games, but it's all gambling nonsense.
