MODERATORS
I'm really developing a violent reaction to the "video games are escapism" line.
Like, that's all the art form is to you? A means to escape your life and turn off those dumbass noises in your head for a while?
Also,
escape from what, exactly? 
People who hide behind the word "escapism" are absolutely the sort of people who will go off on a rant about how places like China or Russia or [insert target country here] are full of unthinking drones that wouldn't dream of contradicting the status quo. :projection:
