W.H.O. Seeks to Classify 'Gaming Disorder' as a Mental Illness - Lol

[Doc Cassidy]

The International Classification of Diseases, published by the World Health Organization, would define “Gaming Disorder” as a “persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour (i.e., ‘digital gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’) characterised by an impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities and continuation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.” In other words, a lack of self-control regarding video games is being legitimized as a specific mental illness.

We need a game where we kill the WHO.

So if I just want to stay at home and play video games, can I now count that as a disability and have the government give me money for it?

Give it a shot. See what happens.

I would say they might as well have a Netflix disease for people who would rather binge watch netflix than work, though there is gambling disorder which this gaming shit seems to be an offshoot of.

I know you guys love mocking world groups but, they are just classifying it under "Disorders due to addictive behaviours". Aka like the korean guy who starves his kids becuase he played for 3 weeks. It would qualify you for disability as much as calling out of work sick because "I just smoked some crack".

Edit: fuck didn't notice what subboard I was on. I thought I was in News.

I guess it's not too different from other addictions. Some people end up spending thousands on "free to play" games. Those whales as they call them are what helps keep those games free in the first place.

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Are you saying thinking about precious vidyagames 24/7 is a mentall illness?

I don't believe your evil oppressive lies.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

Die W.H.O.

 

[WhatNemesisMeans]

I can't help it if building my faggoty egopolis in Animal Crossing and interacting with countless virtual furries takes precedence over finding gainful employment and meeting people irl.

Stop oppressing me W.H.O !

 

[timecop]

we needed a whole organization to tell us that sometimes nerdy motherfuckers play video games all day

 

[Male Idiot]

The Soviets tried this, didn't they? Classifying people who disagreed with them as mentally ill so they could pack them off to asylums for "rehabilitation". I think the Nazis may have too, or they may have just started killing people who actually had issues. Regardless a few years ago I started seeing this happen, and autistic aren't well liked by the SJW crowd anyway cause we hurt their fee fees and often seem to be logical and analytical.

Hence why, though I hope to never need it, I bought a pistol, and have it sitting in a lockbox by my feet with two loaded magazines and like 4-5 boxes of shells. Mostly FMJ I meant to use for practice but never get around to, cause while I live in the country it's too much open ground to practice right next to my house.

Good thinking, I keep a Deagle on hand at all times in case any trannies try to assassinate me
