Is reading a real hobby? Or is it still just consooming media? Does it being a more active activity than vidya and anime make it acceptable?

People who bitch about consumerism need to die. You like food, right? Well you have to "consume" it in order to reap its benefits. The same thing with everything else in this world, what you read, what you see, what you play, literally everything that involves money (which you need to have a basic standard of living) involves consumption. People who think consuming things are bad should try not eating, not reading anything (literally any words placed anywhere), and avoiding listening to anything, be it music, speeches, or conversations. They would eventually die from sensory deprivation. Good riddance.

You are a fucking idiot who doesn't even understand what the arguments about consumption are. Mindlessly consuming video games for 12 hours a day or buying the latest iPhone every year is not the same as eating an apple to stay alive

Yes. Despite what illiterate faggots might think, reading is just more consooming, it's not a fucking superpower.

Arguing that consumption is bad is just a bad argument. That's like saying walking is bad, because someone walked into a ditch. Everything you do is consumption in one way or another. It's a silly black and white way of looking at things. There are many things that are harmful to some and not to others. Some person might use reading as an escape from their responsibilities and it might have a negative impact on said person's life, whereas another person might benefit tremendously from it. The point is: Grow up and use common sense and don't go on image board asking for people's opinions. Just make up your own mind and decide how you want to spend your time.

The whole reason people discuss things is to hear other people's opinions. You are one of the stupidest people I've ever seen on this website

Electronic games are the complete opposite of an active activity, they are nothing but timesinks that complete absorb any time or talents a human may have had, reducing them to less than a mindless rodent.

He's right, though. 98% of vidya requires less intellectual activity than a typical warehouse job.
