What the fuck, why is there such a bullshit stigma against playing video games?

gats · May 31, 2017, 07:16:16 PM

>Go in for a job interview yesterday for a marketing position.
>Fully qualified, dressed for success, made a good first impression when entering the room.
>Going great so far, I can tell the interviewer likes me.
>Asks me what my hobbies are.
>"Playing video games and--"
>He snorts out loud and smirks at me.
>For the rest of the interview he's being really condescending towards me.
>As the interview ends, I ask him when I can expect a phone call.
>He tells me not to worry about it.
>Can hear him whisper something to his secretary as I leave.
>THEY FUCKING START LAUGHING

I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT
THERE IS NOTHING FUCKING WRONG WITH PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY
FUCKING ASSHOLES

Well damn, your whole career was ruined before it even started. Also, why wasn't there spaghetti falling out of your pocket?

Video games are how the devil fornicates with your brain.

I know the OP was made up, I just wanted to post two shitty memes which goes along with it.

if you say video games are your hobby in a job interview the consequences are on you

this guy must really like video games to list it as one of his hobbies

it's okay to play video games if you're like a dweeb or something

I know it's a pasta since the comments told me so

but never answer "playing video games" as your first hobby. Make it sound like something that reflects some productivity at first glance, like uhh... sports or some normie shit.

it SOUNDS better to an employer, sure, but to say it's more "productive" is just objectively wrong

I know this is copypasta, but I know it's bull shit. I said video games and got hired for a $75,000 base job in sales. Gaming has no stigma.

If you don't see the inherent value in honing your physical abilities over pressing buttons in the dark, then you're delusional beyond the point that you can seriously qualify anything as being objective.

This is why I tell people I play the guitar whenever they ask me this question.

No one is gonna laugh at you for playing the guitar.

The guitar. You can't go wrong with that.
