'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
It would be less so if these certain white-knighting SJW's stopped posting their biased propaganda several threads a day. Also, people like you, who perpetuate the myth that gamers, pretty much all gamers, since you're not qualifying it with a "some" or "a minority of", are misogynistic, are a reason why the hatred towards SJWs is growing every single day. You're making it worse.
Not all gamers are misogynistic and anti-fem. They just happen to be far more likely to appear among gamers. Black knighting for the sole sake of opposition is also pretty pathetic. They're far more vocal about it, where most people just don't give a fuck because they realize radfems don't affect daily life other than appearing on your facebook feed to make you mad.

I have a strong opinion on this. But it isn't the "correct" opinion and I see how things work here. Having the "wrong" opinion on an issue will get me banned.

These people who say stuff like that are stupid.
Which is it?
-Most gamers live in basements and have no social life
-Most gamers couldn't get a girlfriend to save their life
-Most gamers are fat and middle aged and never go outside.
-Most gamers beat their girlfriends cause this one totally fits in with the other misconceptions of what gamers are....? What?
Gaming forums are the one place where I encounter far more venom and hatred against feminists and women in general. Can't really say any other places give as much of a fuck. And it makes sense.
Gaming forums are mostly guys.
A lot of the ones whining in fem/anti-fem threads were once constantly posting about being friend zoned in those friend zone threads that have now dissipated. Plus some rather extreme feminist groups have (unsuccessfully) tried to ban oversexed content in games, so they feel that fems might affect them more, when in reality there's more giant tit testosterone fueled hyper sex death games than ever before. But the sentiment that women are invading their hobby can lead to venom.
Really though, I'm not going to go tracking down "proof". It's anecdotal, what my personal experience tells me, but it also makes perfect sense too. You can either believe me or not. As I said, most circles go "Oh, fems are doing something crazy again? Well, whatever." This forum shits its pants into a 60 page thread over that stuff.

I'm sorry I offended you stating a fact that those types do not represent all gamers, but are more likely to exist among that demographic?
I just tend to find that the people who take most offense to this kind of thing and get super pissy fit the stereotypes perfectly.

Yeah, OK. Well, I can contradict that anecdotal evidence by saying that I've encountered just as much "venom and hatred against feminists and women in general" everywhere I've ever chatted, starting from early 90s in BBS', IRC, forums, web chats, MUDs, games, or even face to face with people. So yeah, consider your "evidence" debunked.
Or, it might just be you they don't like. Or, it might just be confirmation bias.

except that you are the one who is actually making things up
but anything is misogynistic today
it's misogony to say you don't have many meaningful relationships with women because they never have anything interesting to say because you don't have much in common. and even when you do, they are not passionate about your common interests.
i've had this conversation with people and all i read for the next 3 minutes i spent reading was that i'm just a prick who uses women
i try not to take it too seriously
If she was cheating, well I take the same stance as Derpkitteh does on cheaters but it's best to save myself the harassment by not repeating it here.
Key word GOTTEN. Meaning it wasn't always this way.
You think that maybe, just maybe it is the constant barrage of articles and posts exposing the extremism with Feminists? As many supposedly anti- fem people here, they will give examples on how they support equality and are egalitarian.
Anti SJW, Yes
Anti Feminist, Yes.
Anti Women? No. Not at all.
2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"
They both suck in their own way. I still prefer anti feminist because usually the arguments are actually for equality and calling out extremist bull. Yes it gets annoying after a while and yes there are extremist sexists in the ranks, but I at least try to call people out on shit equally rather than just say "But not all (insert here) are like that" like it is a valid response.
Not Florida? I'm disappoint...
No it is NOT the right response.
The right response is to admit that SOME are indeed like that and that they are a problem and should be dealt with or at least acknowledged as existing.
The problem with the "Not all X" is that it always stops there. No one ever goes and says that "yeah, that person demanding male curfews is an idiot and I do not support her". No. They just say "Not all Feminists are like that...."
Let me give you an example...
Concerned student: There is a rape epidemic rising on campus. Something should be done to combat this"
Administrator: Not all men/college students are rapists...
Yup. crisis averted!Totally the proper response
