I kid you not, we gamers are in fact oppressed

So recently my mom has been deciding to have video game free days and force my brother and I to hang outside with her. This is oppression. Now you may think it's just innocent family fun, but no. You haven't heard the full story. See, my mom doesn't understand video games and doesn't value them at all. She gets frustrated when my brother and I are in the middle of something in a game that's always online, so it's not like we can pause it to be at her beck and call. It's rude to leave other people working hard towards something and pretty much handing them a loss, I think the majority of you can understand this. So let's look at the checklist so far: my mom doesn't understand or see the importance or value me or my brother sees, because it inconveniences her sometimes she gets frustrated. Her beliefs about our gaming is very parallel to other kinds of oppression. For example, how the Europeans settlers treated and tried to eradicate Native American culture. They didn't understand or see any value in it, so they tried to get rid of it. I am sick of being oppressed and time is running out, I'm only half done my second character for the Solstice of Heroes and I'm not even halfway done the Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass. Sometimes I've woke up in the middle of the night to make progress in my games because I'm not allowed to during the day, but that affects how tired I am during the day. What should I do?????

  • Be there for your mom. Always. Literally. At every moment. You. And. Your. Brother. Always near her. Always offering to help with whatever it is she is doing. Always asking if she is okay or needs anything. Is she in the bathroom? Knock on the door and see if she is okay, needs toilet paper, more soap, etc. A second later, your brother knocks on the door and asks the same things. If she is going somewhere, make sure you ask if you can go too, to help her with anything she might need. Call her at work and ask how she is doing. If you hear your parents being intimate, knock o the door and worriedly ask if everything is okay because you heard some weird noises. After about a week of this, you and your brother being quiet playing video games will be the best thing she could ever imagine.
