Weird 2010's gamer nationalism meets china bad.

"Oh no, kids won't be able to use games to escape reality now" — Good, have them play outside or read a book or something.

"Horrible, I couldn't live without games" — Yes, this law is attempting to help people before they become like you.

"New generations won't grow up to be gamers now" — How will society survive!

"It's about controlling freedom of thought" — Ah, yes, this will stop the great dialogue had by fourteen-year-olds in LoL game chats.

    Both a blessing and a curse to recognize that stuff. It's not totally incomprehensible for why these violences happen but even in understanding you're limited in being able to end them, so you have to watch. Did some after school outreach stuff for a while and man... sometimes it's obvious when kids just need some support or are trying to process real trauma like it's no thing.

    Even more to have lived some of these things. I got off relatively easy but man... I have stories from other people. The worst are those with meth head parents...

    Hope things are going a bit better for your now.
