"Frumpy Mom" Responds To Attacks

[GidgetAnne]

First of all, I started playing video games when I was about 4 or 5. Video games were a big part of my childhood but so was going outside and playing baseball and hide and seek with other kids from my neighborhood. Video games also allowed me to bond with my older cousins who shared few other interests with me.

Secondly, I've learned a lot from video games. Zelda games have taught me that there is always an answer to a problem. If I don't see the answer, then I'm looking at it the wrong way. Professor Layton has taught me that critical thinking is the key to success. He has also taught me that a true gentleman never turns down a cup of tea. See, Frumpy Mom, I'm learning manners from video games too.

No, "frumpy mom", the reason kid's cant be arsed to think these days is dust plain bad parenting, with parents being the ones, initially, with self esteem. Speaking of which, hows your son/daughters(S) doing lately?

Greg, I thought you knew better than this. Despite the fact that it is concealed beneath a layer of shine and professionalism, she is still very clearly a troll, and you are definitely feeding it.

I agree. She clearly likes the attention she's getting for her parody of a blog. Christ, people are capable of saying all sorts of wacky stuff for a bit of attention.

Also, is that her in the picture on her site? She's fugly.

EDIT: I read a bit more of her blog... she's a single mother, guys. That's where the frustration and the free time is coming from. That's where the overprotectiveness and the need to show off her happy kids in every post comes from. She needs to get laid, pronto, but as you can infer from my previous posting, she is bfugly, so we'll probably be hearing more of her.

What does she do for a living? How can she have that much free time between setting passwords for the TV, reading comments on her blogs at 4 AM, going on African safaris and making jokes about video games and devils?

Lol she thinks Computers are made by the devil when she uses it herself... dumb hypocrite.

Okay, now I'm piss'd. I play my X-box everyday, and yet, I'm the best writer in my English II class. Oh, I also listen to. *Gasp* Hollywood Undead.

Quote this Frumpy!

Yeah, but... Hollywood undead kind of... You know... suck?

Good on you 'bout the writing though! Do you write outside of class at all?

Most HUs' songs suck, but they have a few gems, "Undead" for example, it's the song that expresses my hatered for the idiots who bully kids like me at my high school. To answer your second question, yes, but only when I have very little to do. That, or I have very little creativity in writing that isn't ripping off halo, alien, or in one case, I Am Legend.

Guys, being immature jerks makes her look better.

Common consensus these days is that videogames are bad for kids. However, in the middle ages, common consensus around the world was that the earth was flat.

Case closed.

The Earth was known to be round far before the middle ages. Hell, the Greeks figured out the exact diameter in something like 237B.C.E. The only real question was what exactly existed within it.

It's also not really common consensus that video games are necessarily bad, but whatev.

Well, if you're gonna try and out-history me, in the Dark Ages, after the break up the Roman Empire, when most knowledge was lost, people went back to believing the earth was flat. It may have been a bad way of putting it, but never, ever try to outdo me on history. Unless you have a Masters in it, or teach it.

So, you stating something that's open to interpretation and me responding with a correct statement is trying to out-history you?

I see that having a debate with you would be meaningful.

 

[jimduckie]

gee i wish she would just shut the fuck up , she probably sits on her fat ass and watch oprah and other crap on tv , so let the kids play

 

[Giantcain]

why did she let her kids watch lions mating considering they are 10 and 12

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

i agree at some points that some people being obsessed with games (WoW), but i have actually learned a lot from tv and computer games. by playing COD5, which is WWII, i've learned about everything about WWII. i could name up any weapon, any year, any country. and from rome total war, strategy game about the roman empire, i've learned almost everything from that era.

i say she's overreacting. to be honest i'm one of the biggest gamer in my year, but my grade is far above average

My response to frumples

*Shakes head, cries, turns off computer to go to work*

And for your information, i'm a 24 year old aircraft maintenance engineer, so i'll have more responsibility resting on my shoulders in a single day then you will in your entire life. Yet i've been playing computer games since I can remember. Imagine that, a gaming AICRAFT ENGINEER.

(Wait, since she still lives in the stone age, she won't know what an aircraft is...)

And as a side note, i'm Dutch, I learned english through games and TV, as well as reading books and I am now trying to learn Japanese for entertainment purposes. Point being games and TV helped me greatly.

EDIT:
Sorry forgot to "raise my hand".

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I think she's just trying to be comical.
However miserably she fails.

Video game obsession is a serious illness in this country that many people recognize.

Video games and other electronics are doing bad things to kids' brains.

Where have I heard this before?

Jews living is a serious crime in this country that many people recognize.

Jews and other races are doing bad things to kids' brains.

Oh, that's right, Hitler.

I totally agree with you, it's inhuman the way us gamers are treated.

I know you hear stuff in the media about how bad the Holocaust was and how bad the Jews were treated, but they're not the only group of people to be given a hard time. Where are our reparations? Where are our trials in the Hague against people who have slagged off games?
[/sarcasm]

Seriously, when you start likening a insignificant bit of bad press aimed at games, to the Holocaust and the plight of the Jews, you run the risk of seeming like a bigger sensationalist hack than Frumpy Mom.

Let's try to keep this in perspective, please. Being trolled by ignorant hack is not the same as being persecuted because of your race.

I'm aware that you probably only said that to liken Frumpy Mom to a genocidal fascist dictator, but it does seem a bit extreme and insensitive if you follow you chain of reasoning to it's natural conclusion.

Don't be surprised if your post appears on her next blog as a prime example of how video games turn people into emotionless, self-centred zombies, totally devoid of empathy & reasoning.

 

[Evil the White]

*raises hand*

Video games, as mind-killing as crack since 1989.

 

[Ashbax]

She is just another arrogant jerk who stumbled on the internet to voice her stupid opinion. Ignore the troll.

Video game obsession is a serious illness in this country that many people recognize.

this though reminds me when they called homosexallity as a serious illness.

Exactly. Some people overestimate the damage videogames can do to someone...I mean, I understand being afraid of what WoW, or any MMO can do to your kid, but...she keeps going on about the Wii like its fucking heroin. What the hell? Its the wii. My GRANNY plays the wii. My baby cousin plays the wii. Its hardly a huge deal, I never ever heard of anyone getting addicted to wii. Even if someone plays xbox or ps3 alot, its no huge deal. This woman needs to get a grip, and notice that we live in the tweenies, you know...its 2010, not 1955.

Also, she needs to STOP SHOWING OFF HOW RICH SHE IS.

She just wants attention so she can make gamers look at her holiday photos. No one gives a crap. Im a gamer, and I go on holidays with family and friends and dont "complain" about how im missing videogames...christ.

 

[Ashbax]

Satan did not invent video games.

Lord Voldemort did.

1. What better way to turn children away from good magic and into the dark side, than to put them in a darkened room for hours every day with a joystick and a big screen, where they practice killing things for fun?

He loves the deathly pallor of the video game addict, who has forgotten what daylight looks like. He loves the isolation you feel, because you need nothing but a video screen and a controller to feel content.

Soon, he plans to take advantage of this and become the controller, and then good luck trying to find Harry Potter to save you.

2. Video games are educational? Sorry, people, I do not believe for one second you are learning quantum physics while you are shooting down zombies.

1. Makes me want to play more games!!!!

2. Quantum comes latin meaning "how much", so How much/how many zombies must be blown up to equal the energy created by a nuclear explosion. well 41,946,134 ALOT... We must pick up the pace on the Zombie Genocide!

I second this. I am now off to play Left 4 Dead 2 on my xbox. I bid you good day my friends.

 

[ynotgriff]

So... raise your hand if you think she's a DICK?

*raises hand*

In all seriousness, I'd prefer to be a devil-child with low self esteem, than a spiteful, middle-aged woman who describes herself as frumpy.

YES!YES! seriously though. Does EVERY gamer have low self-esteem? I think not.

 

[Nex-Falx]

I bet she watches a lot of Glenn Beck's show...

 

[Pendragon9]

Alright, who's been passing out the Jack Thompson juice?

 

[Sir Mate]

fuck i would kick her between her legs so she would choke on her tampon!
i could give you a 2 pages long description, but i will only say:
ignorant moron troll!
she kills ten times more brain cells than a pokemon episode (and thats Fkin much!)

 

[ThatsBitch3n]

*also raises hand*

I'd like to personally volunteer to fly to California and club this woman in the head with a +6 mace.
And then after the club-fest, I'd quote the greatest of all video game quotes, everyone say it with me:

"I'm here to kick ass and chew gum. And I'm all out of gum."

Why are you only taking a +6 mace? Its dangerous to go alone, take my +15 Long Sword.
This women is just irritating. If you dont understand something, try to get rid of it right?
