  • I agree, but I would go further and ban cars as well.

    • They’re very dangerous on the road and have high accident rates
    • They’re bad for the environment and cause air pollution
    • They’re extremely inefficient as they can only carry 5 people max
    • They can only carry smaller items
    • They’re dangerous for pedestrians
    • They’re very demanding to operate

Even now some people, especially the older generation, are still prejudiced against gamers. Collecting action figures is still niche and will definitely draw some ire. Hell, even adults collecting plushies is a problem for some.
