This is part of why confidence is attractive.
It isn’t that confident humans of the male reproductive caste treat women more flippantly; it’s that actual competency correlates with not being as much of an insufferable whiny piece of shit.
Hate is often just a reflection of insecurities and a product of attempting to alleviate cognitive dissonance. Someone feels scared, doesn’t like feeling that way, and so converts their fear into anger – misdirected at someone else.
Balance is the key. True that fear leads to anger and anger to hatred and a path of the dark side, but the Jedi were also guilty of dealing in absolutes until they were fighting outright fascism via space capitalism and clone contracts they built killed them all.
My daughter wanted to wear my headset when I was playing battlefield once. It was so funny listening to those losers rage because they Were getting stomped by a 5 yr old girl. Now days she still puts it on from time to time and it’s still hilarious.
I remember the last time I got messaged by some misogynist dipshit, way back in Halo 5, blaming me for losing the game. …When he was the worst performing player in the team. I just stared at the post game report and wondered how the heck the dude even managed to get a ranking as low as he did.
That summary may also explain why some men are so insecure about women earning more money than them too.
That’s an interesting study. It makes sense that dominance-seeking behavior follows a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ strategy across species. The connection between status, objectification, and primate behavior is fascinating Morse Code Translator—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.
Just remember that evolutionary biology is largely considered quack science, often by evolutionary biologists themselves (at least in terms of how ev-bio is used to write papers and books about how horny men and women act in bars, and why your Tinder profile isn’t working and what it “means” when she texts you a certain way.)
I was a Halo 3 try hard and if anything I was nicer to female voices because I stupidly wanted to woo them. IDK exactly what the logistics of that would have been thinking back.
work to improve the skill gap or draw 20
acknowledge that one singular woman is currently better than you at this one particular skill or draw 20
man it’s like there are options that don’t involve aggression towards another person for… not being bad at a video game
I count myself lucky the men I know in real life are chill, and that I am not too interested in PvP games, scared off by the constant reinforcement from stories online that someone will be shitty to me because I am a woman. When I did play TF2 it was always pubs mic off and with a very gender-neutral username.
I got hit on a couple times in Starcraft 2 of all games just because I had a feminine-sounding username. I literally got “damn girl, look at that MMR” once and it’s so funny.
Noted : misogyny is a submissive issue
Didn’t sample all of the shitty halo players that are too afraid to talk to a women.
Incel in a nutshell:
Weird Al, take that one with my blessing and run for the hills… cause judging by the downvotes, the incels have my scent.

I am in mad love with this Darmok-ass comment.
Darmok and Jalad when the misogynist raged.

Damon? Do you mean Dicaprio?

I get the meme, but I don’t know how to apply it to this post.
Could someone elaborate?
The line at the bottom, the reply to the wall of text
“Noted. misogyny is a skill issue”
always has been
Ahh, ok. Thanks. Was focusing on the body/paragraph of the text.
“Always has been”
I never understood this mentality, myself.
Gamers: “I never get laid… 😩”
Also Gamers: “Women are just kitchen accessories.”
because you think of “I never get laid” as a normal human need to connect with another person, which is what it is but they’re too deep in misogyny to realize it. instead to them getting laid is a quest to complete and it involves a quest item known as a woman, not a character. so I never get laid has less of an undertone of “why can’t I connect with a woman” and more of “when will we get our government mandated sex slaves”
You might have a career as a Halo 3 e-sports pro then!
I can buy a new toaster from the shop, why can’t I buy a woman too? Does this mean Gamers are pro sex-work? Or pro indentured servitude for women more likely…
You cant pirate pussy, and we all know how gamers feel about subscription models.
my inner engineer wants to challenge this: I know there’s a dildo company that does tours, and at least copies penises and vulvae of customers as a souveneir, im sure there are things that copy at least he surface of the vaginal canal if you want to be completionist. maybe with the right kind of 3d printer it could be done? not sure, haven’t really worked with nylon materials.
Nylon? I would think this would be a ‘print the moulds we use to pour in silicone’ situation, if we’re going for usability. https://formlabs.com/blog/casting-silicone-guide/ On an engineering note I’m also sure I’ve seen this exact thing before, but I wonder what would improve it. Self-heating? DIY solution could be a hidden pocket for reusable handwarmers lol
yeah I was just kind of riffing, assuming nobody wanted to really melt down silicone in their home.
“yOu WoUlDnT dOwNlOaD a cUnT.”
genuinely do not give a shit if you download mine.
kind of concerned with how it was ever digitized in the first place, but, like, once it is, you have my blessing. or curse I guess. whichever.
G*mers aren’t known for being smart.
yeah. all your free time is conclusions being handed to you and the illusion of agency.
and it’s not like everyone’s sitting around playing shit like ‘disco elysium’ all day.
How does romance work in most video games? Select the correct dialogue options, memorize the correct answer to questions, give them the same gift every day?
The other main way a lot of young men “interact” with women is through porn, which is always made with a mind to what a woman would enjoy during sex…/s
I understand it, but I don’t think it applies.
Gamers tend to think of things as quests. A box to check off. A completionist. Getting married and having kids is part of life’s quests for many people. It’s not seen as collaboration in many ways.
“but behaved more submissively towards players with a male voice” I want to know what they mean by submissive
They were less confrontational and more likely to accept direction
“Given the chance, they would definitely lock lips with the dominant male”
:D
They got into some freaky shit in those lobbies.
Appeal to authority. Higher-skilled male players got to call the shots, lead, delegate etc.
Same way you’re “submissive” to your boss
butt stuff, gotcha
