I kid you not, we gamers are in fact oppressed

So recently my mom has been deciding to have video game free days and force my brother and I to hang outside with her. This is oppression. Now you may think it's just innocent family fun, but no. You haven't heard the full story. See, my mom doesn't understand video games and doesn't value them at all. She gets frustrated when my brother and I are in the middle of something in a game that's always online, so it's not like we can pause it to be at her beck and call. It's rude to leave other people working hard towards something and pretty much handing them a loss, I think the majority of you can understand this. So let's look at the checklist so far: my mom doesn't understand or see the importance or value me or my brother sees, because it inconveniences her sometimes she gets frustrated. Her beliefs about our gaming is very parallel to other kinds of oppression. For example, how the Europeans settlers treated and tried to eradicate Native American culture. They didn't understand or see any value in it, so they tried to get rid of it. I am sick of being oppressed and time is running out, I'm only half done my second character for the Solstice of Heroes and I'm not even halfway done the Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass. Sometimes I've woke up in the middle of the night to make progress in my games because I'm not allowed to during the day, but that affects how tired I am during the day. What should I do?????

  • Grow up. Kids these days, I would get a chankla thrown at me if I didnt got off a video game, my parents never asked me to do things it was expected to be done. Still is, I work a 6 to 2 job, do my chores as soon as I get home from the gym and bam and dam ain't shit to be said when I've done my work. Do your work first, be done with it and your time will be yours. Time management skills, learned that shit in 4th grade when I started getting Cs and Ds instead of As and Bs. My old man gave me the belt and told me I earned my Xbox last year and if I wanted to keep enjoying it I would have to do better. That was the last time I was struck with the belt. Lesson learned son. I doubt the letter grade system exist, more likely its "Little Timmy tries his hardest but he just doesn't seem to get it. Maybe he has ADD, take him to the Dr. Either way we will give him a pass." Prime example of the most over/mis-diagnosed disease of this millennia. Pathetic, I spit in the dirt from which your balls drag. Parents don't instill discipline in their children. They have no drive and the future that is supposed to be driven by technology is only bogging down the minds of kids to have an instant reward mentality by clicking a damn button. Good luck trying to find a job outside of applying at McDonalds. Better yet I like it this way, because it just gives a youngin like myself an even better advantage. 22 and I'm sure by the time I'm 32 the people who are my current bosses will be working beneath me if not beside me still trying to vie for another position still. [spoiler]If this is bait, well you no doubt got me rustled. Patience is not one of my better virtues, especially when it comes to stupidity.[/spoiler]
