A lot is blamed on video games, but it’s all about how and why a person plays whatever they play. From my perspective as someone who has always found solace in my video gaming, the negative behaviors, cyberbullying, and hyper-dependence on parasocial relationships are greater with people who don’t know themselves or fail to touch grass every once and awhile. Whether it’s RPGs of The Sims 4, being a gamer since I was a child has made me a better person — rather than a raging sociopath who gets pleasure out of being a d!ck to others.
