Started a small group with @zayfa72 called ‘Muslim Gamers of America’: a thread.
Likes/RT’s always appreciated.
Primarily smash-focused but looking to advocate and push to drop the negative stigma behind gaming in general, especially within our culture.pic.twitter.com/nKdL7nWhwd

You could call practicing basketball for pickup games with friends a waste of time too. Not like most of us would go pro you know? But to others it’s an escape from issues going on in their lives temporarily, something to destress with, or a hobby that you can be around friends..

Too much of anything is a bad thing. Whether it’s basketball or video games or dancing. But our aspect on this is to change the stigma behind video games and also tie in religion into it for young Muslims to come together.

Gaming wasn’t a career or seen as something that you could progress through life with. It was a luxury that became negative because others saw no benefit at the time. Mental health and awareness wasn’t a big topic years ago. With social media, online gaming, forums, etc..

it allowed people from all over to be able to connect and play with each other. People they might not be able to connect with in school. Esports is becoming a norm in society which it wasn’t 10-15 years ago.
