Does this mean porn and jacking it are as dangerous as heroin as well?
Cause god knows that's had a bigger detrimental impact to my health than video games.
Also, I'm proud of you channel 8.

The problem is parents not taking away the gaming console.
Oh your gonna bitch and complain? That will be an extra week without it.

lmao, OP's post is basically the entire article. Not bashing the OP, but rather how thin of content and lacking of citation their report is. Also, who the fuck is KRON? The article is apparently written by KRON.
it's true, we need to add fornite to dare education so kids know to avoid this danger to society
People shit on studies that criticize what games to do people, but the fact is playing/doing anything for a long period of time at a young age has dramatic effects on how people consume/perceive the world as they grow up.
I would love to see studies on games with rapid turnarounds and zero wait time for gameplay to older multiplayer games that had rounds where dead players had to wait.

Why would you edit the quote like that?
Here's the actual paragraph

There's nothing shocking or inflammatory against video games here
Yeah no this isn't actually news reported by ABC.
Though they do have real reports on Fortnite. This one just happens to be fake as shit.

This is utterly false, after a 4-6 hr session of Fortnite I noticed an sudden increase in my testerone levels and libido, try disproving that Liberals.
As an actual recovering heroin addict, I fucking hate these articles. I know that addiction is a whole broad spectrum of awful and suffering is relative and subjective, but seriously: fuck off.
4 years rid of the shit and I still think about it a minimum of 10 times a day. Fuck.

This is the most nothing article I've had the displeasure of clicking on in a while. Why post this OP?
I guess Pokémon crystal and Pokémon TCG on GB were my heroine back in the day.
Luckily. I had parents that didn't let me play that much. Only given extended play times on weekends and holidays. School nights depended on chores and school work.

I played diablo a few hours a day at least from the age of 7-12. It was incredibly detrimental to my health. A lot o things people do today are.
That being said I've had a friend and an ex die from heroine, the title of this article isn't even a little funny. Fuck off ABC

As a former IV heroin user for multiple years, this is a joke. I don't see fortnite players homeless, on the side of the road holding a sign begging for money to get their next fix because they lost everything due to their addiction.

It is a thing, but like all things, it helps to have responsible parties(like parents) get ahead of the issue and be involved. I've seen so many parents just throw a kid a tablet, phone or controller just so that they would stop bothering them. That is bad parenting. Everything in moderation is the key.
Also, ABC News sucks at doing research.

Imo irresponsible know nothing parents that don't want to be self aware are the true pandemic in America
Also yeah OP the article isn't even from ABC News, it's from the local news of an ABC affiliate.
