Would you buy your son a console

[GetShrekt]

I would buy him a Ferrari before I bought him a PlayStation. Only after 18 I would buy him a video game console

as someone who rotted playing videogames definitely no, my son will be outside 24/7 playing sport and fucking prime jbs or some shit

Dumb argument even the slayers had consoles they just didn’t rot 24/7 on them

You mean PCs don't make sense? Consoles suck so much imo.

PC gaming is for incels

Me having a son would be an evil deed, he would be cursed to inceldom like me. I'm like 4/10 or something, I forget, and for me to get pussy I'd have to date down to a -1/10 which doesn't even fucking exist.

But yeah, I'd get my son a console if he asked. Least I can do to mitigate his cursed existence.

A console is no problem. The real hell is smartphone addiction. I don't want him to be one of those kids who are 200 pounds at age 13, stares at a screen 14 hours a day and has no physical hobbies whatsoever.

It will lead to a devastating dating life once he hits 16-18 and overall will just create a spiral of depression.

If he wants to play Playstation 6 or Nintendo for a few hours a day I see no problem in that. I played console games as a kid and I don't think it fries your dopamine receptors as long as it's something you do for fun, not something you make your life revolve around.

The bigger risks are that he becomes a fat smartphone addict or someone addicted to porn who can barely look women in the eyes.
I refuse to install parental controls though because that's just stupid, anyone with over 60 IQ can bypass those. And porn at that age is just fine if it doesn't become an addiction.

porn will always be an addiction,its never fine.

Would buy but at the same time would smash that shit without notice while hea playing the final level or whatever.

Fuck his game.

Hes going to be a millionaire playboy like his Daddy

 

[dough]

no

beter to be outside fucking jb's than rotting staring at a screen
videogames are a total waste of time.

the only accomplishments that matter are real life ones, not virtual ones

video games also promote bad habits like being lazy, rotting, etc. no positive in them just negatives.

That happens when you're ugly, not because of smartphones or whatever. In general, you're placing way too much faith in bringing your children up in a certain way.
Like physical activity -it's not gonna simulate any development. The body has a genetic blueprint, that it follows as it grows. Chads play sports (not that there's anything good about sports) because they have hormonal profile for it. They don't become Chads from playing them.

There is truth in this too.

Someone who grows up with unfortunate genetics will eventually find their way into hardcore 16 hours a day gaming groups to escape their physical reality.

A very physically gifted kid is going to be dating at 15 and playing sports even if you never encouraged it for them.

Good upbringing is only a bonus. It can't overcome nature
