Why does Yea Forums act like bringing a Switch out in public is inhuman behavior despite the fact that it's been the norm for some time now and accepted by basically everyone who likely owns a tablet or a phone? Also was there any shitposting about taking games outside when the DS and Vita were announced? Why is this an issue now? It wasn't back then with the gameboy or the sega game gear so.. why now of all times? Is it just to try and validate an argument that's blown out of proportion?

>years and years ago
>Yea Forums says its unaccetable to play my ds in public
>however when presented the counter argument that normalfags play on their phones in public, the reply was that was acceptable just because Yea Forums said so

>now
>I'm playing on my phone in public
>playing a ds game on my ds emulator
>this is acceptable according to Yea Forums

????????????

I just don't get it.

simple answer, Yea Forums is fucking retarded and you should never take them seriously

>play with a children's toy in public
>get angry when people think you are immature
tendies are actually retarded if tjeu can't figure out why a switch and a smartphone are treated different

What about switch games on my phone with a joycon attachment accessory?

>willingly wanting to use those shitty tiny controllers
you're too far gone.

Was it an issue back then with the gameboy?

The difference is that people don't know you're playing games on your phone.

Any sort of tactile feedback is better than the phones touch-screen.

user... the gameboy was for kids. It was designed for smaller hands

>taking the bitter, shitty advice of incels and fat fucking vidya autists seriously
No one gives a fuck what you do if you leave them alone and aren't a nuisance and Yea Forums isn't one person. I accept zero blame or credit for people screaming about you playing vidya in public.

Then why the fuck was Mortal Kombat on the gameboy.

This.
Fuck Yea Forums.

>Gaming in public.
>Norm.
You clearly weren't alive in the early gameboy days. Gamers were outcasts back then, dorks, nerds, pissants.

Just like the SNES, it was censored to fuck and back.

And yet it's still rated M. Meaning it's intended for MATURE players. You can't go around this.

>ESRB
When has the ESRB ever been effective at keeping games intended for mature audiences out of children's hands?

>rated m
nobody cared then and they still dont care now

If the gameboy advance was "for kids" then why are mature games on the damn thing? Is this projecting?

The ESRB doesn't designate who can and can't legally own the system, stupid.

It's guidelines, not the law.

You're missing the fucking point. You dipshits tell me handheld game devices like the Vita or DS are for kids. The ESRB is irrelevant. Truth is these things were just intended for everyone. A wider audience.

there's a big difference between checking your texts/social media on your phone and taking your glorified leapfrog tablet to play bing bing wahoo in public. the former is normal behavior that everyone does, the latter is exclusively done by manchildren.

No, YOU'RE missing the point. We're talking about what's culturally acceptable, not what the ESRB thinks.

Legos are intended for people ages 6+ but because there's not 'max' intended age, you as an adult, should be building lego castles on public transport? It's not illegal but you sure look autistic and manchild as fuck.

I understand that your ASSBURGERS wont let you process that but do try.

>exclusively
Listen buddy I love shitposting as much as anyone else but a few taken pictures of neckbeards at Wal-Mart doesn't make up the other 30+ million Switch users worldwide.

>checking your texts/social media on your phone

But what if I'm playing moemon fire red off Drastic?

at least that's more discreet than the switch.

It's because of how goddamn big it is you fucking retard.

>We're talking about what's culturally acceptable
There was literally nobody throwing a fit about the gameboy users or the vita users or the ds users. So it was acceptable back then. So why the FUCK are you pretending it is an issue now?

Nobody has to throw a fit because nobody actually cares about you but they'll still think less of you for it.

Why can't you accept that handhelds come off as toys to most functioning adults?

If nobody cared then it wasn't an issue then. There were no news headlines, articles, or online journalists slamming players and calling them manbabies. Prove me wrong.

This is the most retarded argument anyone has ever made.

>Nintendies don't like their toys being called toys.
o im laffin

Vita.

Toy. Not very popular one at that.

So let me get this straight. By your logic, Video game consoles are for mature players, and handhelds are for kids.

Yes because consoles actually have mature rated M games on them.

>actually have mature rated M games on them.
Does the ESRB work on them? Does that stop kids from getting their hands on them?

ANSWER ME YOU FUCKING COWARD

Yes. When you see a grown ass man holding up a leap pad with bright red and blue plastic on it.

Most functioning adults are snickering in their heads.

>holding phone horizontally and smashing the screen with fingers
Yeah, people can tell. Whenever I see a kid holding his phone horizontally I know he’s fucking playing fortnite or something. I have to resist the urge to smash the phone in front of the little zoomer piece of shit.

most switch owners don't bring their bing bing wahoo with them in public.

....What the fuck is WRONG with you? Why do you care so much what people you don't even know do with their lives?

I said 30+ Million. Not 20+ Thousand.

BECAUSE THIS IS Yea Forums!

so again the answer is because Yea Forums said so
Sad.

And Yea Forums is wrong about everything.

Simple, society is shallow and fucking retarded. Game consoles are seen as children's toys while phones are seen as mature even if both are doing the same thing.

>how dare this kid have FUN with something i don't like!
>the nerve of him
>fucking swear, kids today are just so bad
>get off my fucking lawn!

Look at tendies bragging about 30mil. Pathetic when ps5 and xbox 2 come swith sales will halt and never budge again i bet that wont even surpass xbone sales ( i think 50 ~~60million? ) not even touching the foot of ps4 120million+++

???

What the fuck are you talking about? This isn't about sales. This is about the fact that many people have purchased a Switch and 20K makes up very little of the majority. Are you being retarded on purpose?

it's called a sample size. no poll is ever going to include all 30 million switch owners.

So then its fake. And gay.

just because you don't know how polls work doesn't mean they're fake.

It's because you're an adult you doofus.
