Video games. There’s absolutely no evidence that they make people more violent.
More violent? No. But there are mountains of evidence that video game addiction is detrimental to people's mental and physical health.
Nothing wrong with spending some spare time gaming, but when it becomes something you arrange your life around it's not healthy.
Would you still consider "arranging your life around" a problem if it were a different hobby?
Yes.
So like.. not even like biking, gymnastics, programming, woodworking? Like all those in-depth hobbies are just like... off limits because they're resource intensive?
