Always struck me as hypocritical that watching movies was always put on a pedestal as if sitting around for 2 hours mindlessly consuming the latest Tom Cruise flick is any more productive than playing a video game. At least there is brain activity involved with gaming.

At least in my experience, parents seem to criticise their children playing video games, whilst watching TV themselves. In fact I'd rather my children play video games than binge Netflix or mindlessly scroll TikTok or watch YT etc.
