Yes.
No. It doesn't make a difference to the viewer that does it, obviously they seem to not care, because they do it anyway...
You just created the solution to your own confusion. Congratulations. Now consume it
Watching isn't playing. This is my whole fucking point.
Considering your argument revolved around vaguely claiming "viewing people playing single-player games is different from viewing people playing sports" which then turned into arguing it's because of the "intention" of the activities rather than the actual result, no. The only time you even actually argued about playing sports was when you acted like sports are inaccessible and then realized that wasn't gonna work out. You wanted to sound philisophical but instead you sounded stupid, congratulations again.
This statement is utter nonsense.
Considering you have no idea what you're talking about, let alone what the conversation you engaged in was about, I can see why it doesn't make sense to you.
Your most recent response has proven satisfactory. I expect your cognitive dissonance to fade shortly. Do not resist.
Considering China's literacy rate grew from 20 percent in 1956 to 65 percent in 1982 (and now 97% in 2020 which is insane for such a highly rural country – 43% of the population, to give an idea) due to them focusing on Simplified Chinese, you're just wrong in stating it "didn't do anything". In fact, Mao got the idea from seeing Japan's success in improving literacy by simplifying Kanji into Shinjitai, so you're wrong twice...
Of course, it went hand-and-hand with the government's education reforms, it doesn't deserve all the credit. But it helped a LOT. It can be argued that it's no longer a factor because of the access to education Chinese have now, and I'd agree, but it helped when literacy was in need of improvement.
Obviously though, different characters is a small change compared to completely rewriting the sentences to simplify it, like this does here.
