Get your balls, pucks, Scrabble boards and packs of cards away from me – all I want is space to be together, ideally with a coffee or a glass of wine, says writer Emily Watkins
What an eminently unfun-sounding person. People that carve out such a broad category to gatekeep always confuse me. You don’t like competitive games? There’s cooperative ones. Annoyed by people who take it too seriously? Try a more casual one. Etc…
There’s nothing wrong with being stuck in your ways or preferring more simple social activities. But refusing to try whatever the consensus of a group is, or judging others for participating is some peak boomer shit. And condescending things others enjoy as only being for children is the chef’s kiss. Again, she’s allowed her opinions and preferences, but I certainly don’t want her joyless ass playing a game with me either…
It’s not even just games apparently. Any activity with friends that doesn’t involve the consumption of mind altering legal substances (yes, coffee IS a mild altering substance), is apparently off the menu.
And it’s not even her refusal to do these activities that’s mind boggling, but the fact that she thinks it’s okay to enforce it. Honey… you’re free to ruin your social connections with your stubbornness, but wanting to legislate fun out of existence just makes you a cunt.
