!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Well, there's a couple of flaws with your conclusion.

The first is that I didn't say whether or not I believed it. That is irrelevant to the situation which is your own behavior.

The second point is that being entertained by something does not mean inherently believing it. Someone can enjoy something without thinking it's pure truth. If you want to argue that fact then I really suggest you never watch a scary movie because you could end up being mistakenly beliving it's true and them becoming a serial killer!

Your comment is valid in the sense that it's allowed to be made. It's invalid in the sense that it, well, doesn't make any. It's a self centered view on the world that acts like you are the be-all and end-all of what gets to be judged. Moreover, you don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of false entertainment for fun. Seems like a really sad world honestly. Only ever able to watch documentaries. You know. Because reality matches it so you're not being 'deluded'.
