    It does seem to be an escapist reaction to worsening conditions. Retreating inward because the real world is becoming hopeless. It cannot be healthy, but I'm loathe to blame them because society at large is so toxic.

      Meh, this goes well beyond that. I'll blame a bunch of first worlders on wallowing and accepting the status quo through their non-action.
