Suck it, game haters.

My 8-year-old nephew loves Fortnite. Come to think about it, he also uses phrases like "Suck it."

And your point? That I’m like an 8 year old? Is that supposed to crush me or something?

I never played it, but two of my high school friends did, and they played it well into college. One is in a leadership role of the San Diego Zoo, and the other graduated from the Naval Academy and now works at NASA. Both are married and have children and seem really happy.

My 40-something DH regularly plays D&D, as do many of my good friends’ husbands. (yes - we’re all pretty nerdy.)

DH is smart and funny - he’s a good husband, a loving dad, a fabulous cook, and earns pretty decent $ in his day job. I lucked out. The other D&D playing DHs also all seem pretty great too.

If you raised a person who feels it is necessary to negatively judge an entire group of people based on one small aspect of their lives, you have failed as a parent.

What if they play fantasy football? Never understood why d&d is looked down on but fantasy sports are acceptable it's all just for fun.

D&D????????

There is a space for everyone in life. Whether it's sports, theater, gardening, gaming, or even D&D. I know lots of people who are/were very into D&D, men and women. All are "normal", functioning people. And they are a whole lot more fun and imaginative than people like you.

Yes, this. I’d say OP’s parents failed.

Why? You're just as entitled to be wrong about this as the many millions of other people are entitled to be wrong about other things.

I don't need to spend any time trying to convince you you're wrong. You act like you and your opinions should matter at all to me or my family.

So TRUE! Haha! What's the matter OP? Were you bullied by the weirdos?

Your parents failed with you. Your judgmental and rigid nature befits an ill-raised 6-year-old, not an adult. Sad.

And no, no one in my family plays D&D, so don’t bother with your predictable childish clapback.

One who doesn't occupy an infantile dream world as a grown ass adult.

Oh, so you are just desperate for attention. Got it.
