WHO "Gaming Disorder" Recognition

$
0
0

Overview

WHO“Gaming Disorder” Recognition refers to the proposed classification of addictive behavior towards video gaming as a mental health disorder by the World Health Organization, leading to debate among medical professionals as to whether “Gaming Disorder” qualifies as a mental health disorder.

Background

Debate on whether or not “Gaming Disorder” was a real condition worthy of a label in the International Classification of Diseases has raged for several years. “Gaming Disorder” was listed in 2013’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a “condition for further study.”[4] Dr. Craig Ferguson has been a vocal critic of the classification. In 2016, he wrote an academic paper opposing the classification.[5] In January of 2015, Vice[6] ran a piece illustrating how gaming addiction can ruin lives.

Developments

On December 21st, the World Health Organization released a beta draft of its forthcoming 11th International Classification of Diseases. In the draft, it added “Gaming Disorder” in its section on “Mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders.”[1] The description of Gaming Disorder reads:

Gaming disorder is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour (‘digital gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’), which may be online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by: 1) impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context); 2) increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and 3) continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning. The pattern of gaming behaviour may be continuous or episodic and recurrent. The gaming behaviour and other features are normally evident over a period of at least 12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned, although the required duration may be shortened if all diagnostic requirements are met and symptoms are severe.

Once the draft was posted, news organizations including CNN,[2] Forbes,[3] and Kotaku[4] covered the news. Kotaku spoke with several medical professionals and psychologists who disagreed with the classification. Dr. Chris Ferguson wrote:

“I have considerable concerns about this proposed diagnosis… There are many myths such as that games involve dopamine and brain regions similar to substance abuse. There’s a kernel of truth to that but only insofar as any pleasurable activity activates these regions. How gaming involves them is more similar to other fun activities like eating chocolate, having sex, getting a good grade, etc., not heroin or cocaine.”

University of Oxford psychologist Andrew Przybylski wrote that the classification could potentially overshadow problems like depression and anxiety which contribute to addictive gaming.

Following the release of the news, several threads were posted to Reddit about the proposal, including in /r/news,[7] /r/games,[8] and /r/gaming.[9] There, users responded to news dismissively, considering the term on par with something like Reddit Addiction. On December 26th, YouTuber MundaneMatt released a video discussing the news, gaining over 12,000 views (shown below).

The hoity dinos have existed in the realms of discord for hundreds of years. When the hoity dinos were discovered by god, they were spammed in many discord servers. Hoity dinos have been created by ikea, but this is a cover up, and I created them. I am a dino. I am your god.

Basically, a man known as Daniel had joined a discord server, and was new to the platform. Because he needed a unique profile picture, he decided to take a picture of his favorite, derpy faced, dinosaur plush from IKEA. He had owned them since 2015, but nobody had known of this as a meme. When people asked Daniel what this thing of a profile picture is, he said that it’s a dinosaur that looks funny. After this. many people wanted Daniel to take more pictures of the cute, small, green dinosaur. Since then, the dinosaurs have appeared in youtube videos, and more.

“OK Beast” was created by an anonymous user on the /b/ forum on 4Chan. People were unsure if OP wanted to actually start a meme or wanted to create bait. Either way, the meme started to slowly gain traction.
The meme is used to signify something savage happen in an awkward situation, or some retard doing retarded things. This meme has many uses. OK Beast can also be used for clutch moments in an ironic situation (or when something happens that did not go intending but turned out clutch)

Examples:
Man is in a 1v5 suitation in Rainbow Six Siege. Man says “Ill 1v5 pistol kill only”. The whole chat should respond “OK Beast”
If the man starts to actually kill a lot of people, you can repeat the “OK Beast” phrase
Even if the man doesn’t clutch but makes a Rambo type effort, you are allowed to respond “OK Beast”

Man kills a fully geared guy in Rust with his rock
“OK BEAST

Man robs his own store by accident
“OK BEAST

Man accidentally shoots himself

Statler and Waldorf

$

About

Statler and Waldorf are a pair of puppet characters created by Jim Henson for The Muppet Show starting in 1975 and consisting of two elderly men who are almost exclusively seen in balcony seats watching the performances of the other Muppets and rudely criticizing them. They are particularly harsh towards resident stand-up comedian Fozzie Bear, whom they aggressively heckle in the middle of his performances. For most of the show’s other acts, Statler and Waldorf’s criticism generally comes in the form of snide comments made after the skit in question, while the rest of the fictional audience is heard clapping.

Online usage

Of the secondary Muppet characters, Statler and Waldorf are among the most popular in modern internet culture by virtue of their uniquely cynical attitudes among the franchise’s cast which are comparable to what is known online today as trolling. This comparison has been officially acknowledged in post-digital-age Muppet material, such as the below-shown video produced by Disney in 2009.



TV Tropes has, since its early days as a website, hosted a page for the characters, linked to at the ends of certain articles which textually depict them reacting to the respective page’s subject in the vein of their comments on The Muppet Show.

In general memetic use, Statler and Waldorf are most commonly invoked in the contexts of reaction images and forum weapons.
