Psychiatrist says it's 'not normal' for a man in his 20s to play games
“I would still like to point out that sitting alone in your room and playing games, no matter what the scope of the matter, call it addiction or whatnot, is not normal for a man in his 20's.” - psychiatrist Synne Sørheim
This comment came out during the Anders Breivik trial. The best part is, just moments earlier Sørheim said the following.
“We have no form of expertise when it comes to computer games.”
Ha, you could have fooled me? You mean your completely ignorant view on games indicates that you have no knowledge in the field?
Could you imagine a psychiatrist making this argument with any other hobby-time activity? Replace 'playing games' with 'reading books', 'listening to music', 'watching TV', 'building models', 'playing sports' and so on. Doesn't quite ring true, does it?
