Um... yes one of the affects of testosterone is violence, men commit more violent crimes than women and video games that don't feature violence happen to have much larger female fan-bases. A good example is portal.
He's actually right on this. This fact unfortunately causes a lot of violent acts against men from women to be ignored. But they do happen, even though men are more violent. This is just a fact by the way. Let's not have a debate on this.
You'd think it'd have more to do with WHICH version of violence is reported, don't you think? Maybe when society starts giving 2 fucks about the emotions of men, we'll know the truth.
I've never been one of these guys who are fascinated with a female like this. I guess because I've never had problems with talking to women. But can anyone comment on why men act this way? Is it simply because they aren't use to female interaction?
Women biologically don't have the same violent tendencies as men.Haha. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
I definitely agree that society needs to start caring about the abuse that men suffer, but I was simply agreeing with him because 90% of murderers are men. They are also the ones who have historically been dictators and what not. But women can be really abusive too. I'm not saying they can't be.
Let's not act like that's some special FGC case. It's the internet we're talking about. Did no one hear about when that black guy won a hearthstone tournament and twitch chat went usual twitch chat. Not that any of that is good but it's not some crazy phenomenon. It's what happens when people are giving anonymity and no repercussions. Some of the trolls can be and I'm positive are women.
You're right my bad shouldn't of grouped that into fgc. It's gaming community in general.
men are the same tho, which is why teambased games are mpre popular in general
Well those people can speak for themselves
. I hate team based stuff. If I lose, I want it to be my fault so I can fix it. I don't like the idea of my win being in someone else's hands.
Even then I wouldn't say that's fair. I think it's just an internet thing. I seen a thing where I guess it became popular to say a woman needed to be a specific weight on twitter. This was done by both males and females. Now that situation is different but I'm sure more ugly things would come out if people could remain anonymous on twitter.
It doesn't have anything to do with society not letting men show their emotions (which I agree is a problem) but it's pure evolution. for thousands of years men have been doing more militaristic jobs and women have been doing more domestic ones. It's engrained in our DNA for the most part that isn't to say there aren't exceptions.
It's not going to change until we take a step to change it. And when I say us, I mean us gamers. Not Anita Sarkeesian, or some feminist nut job. But us sane people have to make it unacceptable to behave like those people who are blatantly sexist toward women. We have to ridicule them, make them embarrassed for acting that way.
Lmoa no, there are most likely TRADITIONAL societies where women are/were breadwinners and men played the domestic role.
Some women might have been iffy about getting into it and seeing an ugly 17 year old furry virgin say some stupid shit might've sealed the deal.
I don't think that Is the same thing...
Are you seriously going to start with "the patriarchy" come on we are in the 21st century. The middle east is the only place on earth with a real patriarchy still.
I read a study that said that when spouses kill each other, women tend to use poison and men tend to be more physical.
It's still just gender based comedy but to different extremes. My point is that it's a joke and should be taken as such. I see your point though and I guess it was a bad move on his part.
Well women tend to be smaller on average so it only makes sense. I'm a man, but if I had a husband who was the ufc heavy weight champion, I wouldn't try to kill him physically.
You can't complain about offensive jokes and then turn around and shame the best player in the scene with insults that target common insecurities among guys.
