The difference between escapism and enjoying yourself is escapists are manchildren who think about nothing but cartoons and toys, have no understanding of reality outside of the fantasies they erected in their head, it isn't just enjoying yourself and leaving your normal life for a while.
Anno, the creator of Evangelion, is a huge nerd who likes anime, kaiju etc. yet his work heavily criticizes escapism, do you think he is criticizing himself for enjoying immersion in media and fantasy or do you think he is criticizing the rising group of Japanese manchildren who have no interest in anything a 12 year old child wouldn't care about and who will die alone as spiritual voids?
>world is rapidly becoming a shitty overpriced dumpster fire dystopia >only have video games to distract me from it
if it weren't video games I'd probably be using hard drugs
And nep is for hatefricking
I mean, it kinda is. As much as I love Nep, I know that hiding from my problems is not something Nep would want me to do.
oh wow sister your so right
*continues to post on Ganker for 5 hours straight instead of working*
hey at least I'm having fun, not escaping!
why is nep-chan chasting my vidya habutts?
Why?
there is truly nothing more heinous and vile than using leisure time to relax and not think about your problems for a little bit

This post describes me to a T and I hate you for it

that difference sounds totally arbitrary, like something you just came up with yourself

You're the kind of person who wants there to be more children when the world is currently a shit hole with rampant inflation.
That has nothing to do with the population, thougheverbeit
i play games because i find the mechanics enjoyable not to pretend im in another world
but the real world is bad too
But I can only have fun when I escape from reality
LEAVE Ganker ALONE
>nooooo you have to experience every moment of your shitty life in vivid detail
Frick off, moron
Idk, I liked zero punctuation when I was a kid. can't stand him now though
You're the kind of person that thought Arfoire's CFWs were wrong.
Arfoire was never the villain
Thats only true when you can fix the problems causing you to escape.
That is not the case for most people here.
Making sweet love to Neptune!

She can only say that because she's a nepper that lives in a perfect world. Escapism is fine if it means I get to be with neps
Marrying Neptune
