AFK normalcy

The situation where people who have excessive screen time per day will get an eye, whilst AFK moments are "normalized" (i.e. happens more frequently and feels less painful). For example, in K-12 school campuses where smartphones must be collected during school hours, which is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments and not to "condition" students for unavoidable AFK moments in the foreseeable future.

At school, we have to hand in our phones, which makes AFK normalcy a real thing—everyone's so used to stepping away from their screens that it hardly bothers us anymore!

AFK-tolerant environment

AFK-tolerant environments are the environments where AFK moments are more normalized (read: occurring more common and feeling less painful). For example, K-12 school campuses require students to collect smartphones during school hours while those having excessive screen time per day will get an eye. This policy is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments, even though there are common misconception among gamers and YouTube addict that this policy is meant to "condition" students to inevitable AFK moments that are going to happen to them during the rest of their young lives, even after high school graduation.

The school’s strict smartphone policy created an AFK-tolerant environment, helping students adapt to being offline during class, despite some kids grumbling about missing their favorite YouTube channels.
