wtf

By now you should realize how dangerous this so called "game" is and the harmful effects it has on not only the player, but also those who care for the player. I truly hope that this paper will open people's eyes about this so called game, and that anyone who reads this won't let anyone they care for get sucked into this Cookie Clicker.

Even if you manage to beat this addiction there is always the possibility of having a relapse. Unfortunately, no one I know has overcome this problem, but based on my knowledge of addictions, it's a very real possibility that they could suffer from a relapse. Relapses are a miserable part of addiction, even after you overcome the problem there is still a chance it could come back at any time. Possibly because of stress, negative emotions, really strong cravings, or being around things that remind you of Cookie Clicker. It is very damaging to your life and you might have to avoid cookies for the rest of your life unless you want to relapse. So you shouldn't play the game, even just once.

Cookie Clicker also has achievements for you to get, which keeps you hooked on the game. Not only does it have the upgrades that were mentioned earlier, but it also has achievements. Some of these achievement titles prove that the creators of the game are well aware that it's an addiction by having the achievement titles relate to drug use. One achievement is "So baked right now", another is "Overdose", and these sayings clearly show the relations to drug use.

Playing Cookie Clicker even just once is dangerous. Like any addictive thing, it may take only one time to become addicted. Cookie Clicker has just enough stuff for someone to keep on "playing" right from the beginning. At first you start with nothing, but as you continue clicking you gather enough cookies for upgrades, which make it so you can get more cookies faster, making you repeat an endless cycle of pain.

Instead of the person seeing you as someone who cares for them, they will only see you as someone who is getting in the way of the only thing they care about, Cookie Clicker. You can try all you want to help the person get over this Cookie Clicker, but they won't see it that way. You could turn the computer off, but instead of the nice person you knew and cared for they will turn into some monster, screaming at you for making them lose their precious cookies. They are no longer the person you cared for.
