E-sports - Language is everything

 My wife and I were have a discussion about whether or not e-sport aka playing video games is really a sport.  E-sports is a way for geeks, nerds and couch potatoes to feel like they’re engaging in athletic competition by sitting in front of a computer screen controlling a character with a game controller. Where is the sport in that?  There isn’t any sport in that. It may be competition but it’s not a sport.  

In the dictionary sport is defined as an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.  Sitting in a chair operating a game controller with your fingers is not what I consider an activity involving physical exertion.  It may involve dexterity and skill but not physical exertion.

As our conversation progressed my wife said the definition of words evolve over time and pointed to the word gay.  Gay's "dated" definition is light hearted and care free.  The "contemporary" definition of gay is being romantically attracted to members of one's own sex.  

My response was like the definition of woman - like how the traditional definition is an adult female human being.  The contemporary definition of woman has been bastardized to include people with penis's (men) identifying as female human beings.  Those aren't women - they're dudes pretending to be women.

Just like an e-sports competitor is not an athlete.  It's a pimple faced, fat, lazy kid with glasses sitting in a chair in front of a tv screen playing a video game in the dark.  Just like me sitting on a couch writing this journal entry makes me a competitive writing athlete.  The lunacy.

There is something wrong when language's basic definitions and meanings are being altered to fit contemporary times.  Like how do you change language and the definition of words?  Reality is being twisted.  Perverted.  Is gay a nicer word than homosexual?  

Which also brings me to a friend I used to have named Bruce.  He was a 70 year old man and decided he is a woman and had his dick cut off and changed his name to Karen.  I wonder if he considers Bruce to be his dead name?  Bruce has a sometimes interesting blog and occasionally writes about women's rights and discrimination. He's not writing about women's rights and discrimination - he's writing about trans rights and discrimination under the guise of women's rights and discrimination.  He's writing about discrimination but not the way he proclaims.  He's a liar and a fraud.

I guess that's no worse than me writing from the perspective of a modern day Jesus.  Neither one of them make any sense other than, I don't know, to provide entertainment.  Hmmmm.
