My mom is making me have my computer in the living room.

My mom is a jeweler who talks with her friends about getting 10,000 followers on Instagram and her "100 day daily painting" and a bunch of other ♥♥♥♥ like that. She's completely against me playing videogames and much less "violent videogames" because they make me "antisocial" and/or "badly influenced", and thinks I'm going to shoot up the school if I get an airsoft gun. Right now she's making me have my computer set up in my living room. She says i need to have it in a more central part of the house so I don't become a social outcast while she hides away in her studio all day blogging about "women's voices being heard in this new society". My dad thinks it will give me cancer and make me kill myself, and he's an overworked Asian guy who's 5 '3 and knows jiu jiutsu so I don't know if it's even possible for me to convince them to let me have it in my room at all. But they are both pretty reasonable and if I give them a good enough argument I could pull it off. I've already shown them studies of solid proof that pvideogames/computers don't make you antisocial or more violent, and having it your room doesn't give you cancer. If I could get some help I would be really grateful.

I disagree.
I think the current generation of kids is living proof.

Stupidity isn't weirdness.

I wouldn't be going for this at all. Just do what you want regardless of what they say, simple. If you're a young kid, i don't know what to tell you though. At the end of the day, you're not hurting anyone, you're only having fun so i don't see the problem.

Their rules aren't reasonable at all though.

Oh no a computer in the living room how utterly awful, now Mum can see me planting in Stardew Valley, the horror!

I have plenty of friends who have the same setup where they gotta play their games in the living room like that. It's not so bad

Your parents care about you and want to monitor what you are playing. That might sound that it would be bad for you, but it might actually open up dialog so you can discuss the game with them. They might actually like some and the games and get theor own computers so that they can play with you.

Well that screws up your privacy. Hang in there until you can get away from people controlling you. ...or get a laptop they don't know you have and be aware if they are tech savvy enough to check what devices access the router. ...just actually have a f2f social life with people, too.
My only source of income is my parents, and it would take a long while to have enough for a computer.

Best bet is to come up with what to say then have a discussion with them. I'd pick the one that I estimate is most likely to give in, and talk to them first. Are they also concerned you are going to watch porn or something and that is another reason they want you out in the living room? Their ulterior motives if they have them may come up in further discussion, or remain unsaid. Because "my privacy" is a legit reason to have the thing in your room, but bringing that up to paranoid, ignorant, or ideological parents can make them even more defensive.

You might try to bargain, that if they let you move it in there, you will do x. And if you don't, the computer can be moved back out in the living room.

If they still won't let you move it, the times neither of them are home, are golden.

You think she has it in the living room so she can play with him?? I don't think you read the description completely. It's not so bad if they let the kid play his games whenever he wants but i'm assuming she's stopping him from playing because why else would the pc be in the living room? Try to use your head more.
