Would you say Kim Kardashian or Snooki have real jobs with their reality TV show?

Well, technically that's an acting career, so yes.

I just can't imagine a world where on of these guys wakes up and groans because they gotta go practice their video games for hours. It be like Samoa Joe bemoaning the fact he's gotta go kick somebody's face in.

Yeah, but the game's not that fun once you play it for 10 hours straight everyday. Also, I'm sorry, does one have to live in misery to have a "real job"? That seems like a negative attitude.

They don't have jobs. The poor sons of bitches that hold the camera and edit it into a show, they have jobs.

Cause if you do something you love and are passionate about, it's not a job then. You're getting paid to have fun. And if someone is playing LoL for money and not having fun? THey're in the wrong line of work.

In both cases, they are in a "paid position of regular employment". How hard or enjoyable their job is is irrelevant.

Also, as a guy who's worked on a few film shoots, don't feel sorry for those reality show cameramen and editors, they have a script to work with.

I mean legally, yeah. But existentially, no.

And I know they have scripts, but fact is they're filming the kardashians. I'd need a stiff drink everyday if I was on that gig.

I don't like that they're emphasising their gender so much to get sponsorship as it only reinforces that stupid "gmr grl" stereotype. On the other hand if there weren't such severe inequalities in gaming this kind of strategy would never work. I can't really take a side. The women's approach is douchey as hell, the people overreacting to it are probably more than a little sexist.
