Seven vices, sloth is one...citation needed for that?
Or that people think that playing video games is for the lazy?
Someone specifically asked what vice video games would be (esports actually). I said sloth (being lazy) is what some would accuse them of. There is nothing weasel about that unless you set the bar so high that everyone must agree that something is a vice, in which case virtually nothing is.
Which is it? Is sloth not a vice? Or is playing video games not considered being lazy by a significant number of people?
There have been countless stories about video games promoting obesity (sloth, gluttony) or violence (wrath) or objectification (lust). I'm sure greed, envy and pride could all make an appearance if we tried hard enough.
Citations needed...nope. Accusations of today's youth being lazy and playing video games are abundant enough that if you can't find them you've obviously been playing too many video games.

That's just rude and didn't contribute anything. You haven't made any argument other than I'm wrong. Have a point. I'm not going to play the citations game. Put forth a counterargument that is coherent and contributes to the discussion or move along.

Countless unfounded stories, and then implication that those "playing too many video games" aren't in the know.
Your viewpoints seem antiquated in this day in age where everyone is always on their phone, playing a video game when traveling or waiting.
Is a crossword app a video game? I didn't realize the NYT crossword app was targeting lazy youth.
> Or that people think that playing video games is for the lazy?
This part. My earlier post meant to say that I can't tell if you think those people are correct (which is wrong) or if you think those people are wrong (but are still citing them?)
