At least in my experience, parents seem to criticise their children playing video games, whilst watching TV themselves. In fact I’d rather my children play video games than binge Netflix or mindlessly scroll TikTok or watch YT etc.
As long as they’re not shitty mobile games brainwashing the kids with inappropriate and intensely manipulative ads. If you have kids that are playing lots of mobile games, consider keeping them safe from predatory advertisers by installing DNS-level ad-blocking. RethinkDNS is very easy to set up on Android, and while NextDNS is a bit more complicated, it should work on any platform that allows you to set a custom DNS.

Yeah I never heard a parent put movies “on a pedestal” and in fact watching TV/movies was only slightly less criticized in my house growing up
