*lol* I wonder how many articles have been dedicated to the "evils" of
gaming and it's effect on society thus far. Seems like the same old thing
with slightly altered content/arguments.
Anyhoo, they do mention excessive exposure to both. The same holds true for
someone who is a social drinker vs someone who is an alcholic. When
something of this nature is taken to an extreme without some form of
restraint to counterbalance it, there are bound to be negative
repercussions.
Someone who sits in their room all day playing games without any form
of/limited exposure to conventional social interaction is bound to be
affected by it. The same can be said of pornography if it becomes a
substitute for a normal relationship. In some cases, the individual in
question may even develop unrealistic expectations of someone that they are
in a relationship with; unable to (or even unwilling to) separate fantasy
from reality. But again, this is about excess and individuality. Just
because someone is a gamer and watches pornography does not mean that they
automatically fall into the same category of people mentioned in the
article. Porn aside, look at the FGC. They're all about social interaction,
but this is largely due to it having it's roots in the arcades, where
people played games in an environment that was socially accommodating.

So apparently men who play video games and watch pr0n have less social
contact… well maybe that’s because they’re getting everything they need
from those two hobbies.
I wonder why anyone would quote the Stanford Prison experiment considering
what a crock it was. I guess is just some random online article though.
