gamers are like "games are art" but then when you try to critique it like art it's "fuck off just let people enjoy games" (lemmygrad.ml)

True of other artistic mediums as well. Everyone wants their hobby to be "art" but nobody wants to actually engage critically with anything which they consume. For most people, film, literature and music are sources of cheap dopamine hits, and the artistic output of the twenty-first century shows it.
