Gamers hate physical activity. Which is sort of strange, considering that things like soccer and baseball are considered games and very much depend on physical activity. But then again they also deal with teamwork and sportsmanship and not hiding behind an avatar, so I guess it’s understandable that the average armchair gamer wouldn’t see the appeal. All things considered, people hate Wii Fit. Er, people on the internet hate Wii Fit.

In case you didn’t know, the influx of casual games is killing the industry. How is the average gamer supposed to enjoy something if other people are capable of enjoying it too? If a game doesn’t require lightning fast reflexes or thousands of hours of grinding, can it even really be considered a game? Games are supposed to tell emotional narratives about angsty teenagers killing God or heroic rapists slaughtering everything around them. What good is a game that teaches you French or helps you lose weight? No good, says Gamers Of America! The only clear course of action is to take to the metaphorical streets of the literal world wide web and let the public know that regular people shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy video games.

Wii Fit threatens the very ground that gamers stand on. We must fight against it.

Also, I don’t need Wii Fit because I’m already totally hot without it. My mouse arm is, like, huge.
