If masculinity is a problem, generally speaking, its because of estrogen being in a lot of our products. Yes, there is a social problem, but videogames do not hurt the risk, reward system nor does porn lead to erectile dysfunction. Socially awkward teenagers are going to be socially awkward teenagers and perhaps videogames give them a distraction from the world, but they are making the decision themselves to play them.

The real problem with male masculinity to me is being in an estrogen induced environment. Japan plays less games these days than they did in the past and yet they are STILL having an issue with mating, marriage and childbirth. Third world countries are not having this problem. Hmmmm....I wonder why?

P.S.

The system in which we live seems to fear an equal and balanced society between males and females.

My hypothesis is that people that are mostly isolated and avoiding social interaction, have low levels of physical and menta energy.

I used to live in a 3rd world country and what didn't lack over there is human interaction on all kinds of level. The type of conversation we have on VGC, is held face to face with various people and in an always lively environment. The energy you find in those type of environments is contagious. Which leads me to think that, the the underlying problem here is somewhat depression or apathy.


I can understand people who are already isolated becoming more isolated than normal, but videogames do not conflict with the risk/reward center of the brain. it actually helps them by causing. This is a sexual issue though. First world doctors trying to figure out why we're having issues making babies and the male baby batter going bad. They are looking to blame many things for the birthrate issues of first world nations.

I love forums and I probably have more posts than most, but in real life I am a highly social networker. I type very quickly as I talk and network quickly.
