There is a quite a portion of gamers on the internet who are ready to attack anyone who dares to criticize their favourite game or game series. If said critic is female, she can expect receiving personal attacks regarding her sex life.

Which is hilarious, because if you're over 15 and still play video games, chances are you're never going to have any sexual relationships other than your mum walking in on you fapping to anime. Oh the irony.

Of course it's a generalisation that fails to account for the ordinary guy who maintains healthy relationships in real life, a probable majority, but the amount of abuse female gamers are subjected to is by no means small, and although humans are known to be less polite, cordial, and restrained behind a screen, it's quite likely that a fraction of these abusive gamers - and I'd love to see if there's a study concerning this topic - is obnoxious simply because they're venting their frustration with the opposite sex/non-basement dwellers. |
Is it about games, or is it about the anonymous umbrella that online communities foster? If there exists a deeply-rooted misogyny endemic to the internet, this very website most definitely suffers just the same as any idiotic XBL chatroom.
Although it's certainly true that games as an inherent form of escapism certainly encourage and breed said temperament, the same could be said and observed of sports or an interest in cars. It's not about gamers, it's about men getting together and airing their presumable sexual frustrations, wrought with the mimetic endearment of sociosexual expectation.

Wow, and that's saying something.
I am stirring it a little, but honestly computer games are just so lame. I mean even saying out loud when you're adult "I'm going to play a video game"....just so embarrassing. Not that I'm a nazi about it or anything, it's up to people if they want to waste their time playing Halo or some other lame shit, but it just seems so infantile to me. I dunno.
