 User Banned (2 Weeks): Misogynistic Rhetoric

I think this doesnt tell the whole story (I also havent read in-depth).
I think some people might forget that gaming isnt just on console or PC.
Especially mobile is alot bigger.
So I guess some people might find those numbers weird as they all are in a bubble where mainly men play certain games.

From my personal experience in friend groups, collegues, university etc.
Its mainly men playing like AAA games and known IPs.
The women rather play mobile games, some Nintendo stuff or trend games like among us back then.

Thats from my experience though.

I didn't know it was misogynistic to say women might have different interests or experiences than men. How would someone know they were an egg otherwise?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Ask Nep how they will bring about communism when capitalists are against it. We will see who is actually advocating violence.

Honestly, I find it pretty sus that anyone would even consider that Hasan could do anything wrong in the first place.

[benji]

Just FYI but "I bet they all play on mobile" and other similar comments are so deeply rooted in sexism and it permeates the industry.

I once consulted on a game that had a male protagonist by default and when I asked why that decision was made, the lead of the game said it was because the people who would play it are men.

I then showed him data that said most of his player base, if the game was marketed correctly, would actually be women.

The process of denial afterwards despite multiple data points supporting me was a trip and a half.

Before people spread more sexist bullshit:
21% of women play on consoles (27% for men)
15% of women play on PC (27% for men)

So it's not sexist to say they play more on mobile? It's FACTUALLY CORRECT?  

Oh wait:

Wtf why was this guy banned for just voicing his own experience?

Because it's loaded with misogynist dogwhistling?
- Openly says they didn't read the study at all
- Tries to push the "women are mobile gamers and thus not real gamers" message with the subtlety of a brick
- Pushes the idea that men mainly play on console or PC (the study in the OP shows that both genders are pretty equal on consoles) and pushes the narrative that women only play "mobile games, some Nintendo stuff or trend games like among us" and "mainly men playing like AAA games and known IPs".

It's openly sexist bullshit in a thread about a literal study disproving that bullshit, including a breakdown by genre showing many of them tilted more towards women or pretty equal across genders.

Like, you couldn't be even more nakedly "just asking questions" if you tried. The "I think this doesn't tell the whole story" sentence gave the whole thing away.

Another person comes in to confirm:

the definition of "video game" in surveys like this is significantly more broad than even you (yes, you) are thinking about. the reason that the US data, for example, says that 22% of gamers in the US are 65+ years old is because "downloadable slot machine" is a video game and its players are "video game players"

But don't worry, Minthara is targeting The Bire poster davepoobond now:

i see this way more in mobile games, so 50% makes sense there. console games feels like 0% women. pc feels like 15-20%

What?

It's crazy someone spouts off sexist bullshit like that in a thread containing a study showing men and women about equal on console.

Without a hint of irony either.

21% and 27% aren't "about equal" either, that's a 30% difference.

Now if only these stats were driving the industry to objectify women less. But instead we get gooner garbage surfaced front and center practically during every major gaming event.

I feel like there's been a major backslide over the last couple years. Stellar Blade and its ilk, horny ass swimsuit skins for Street Fighter, the Code Vein II trailer opening with balloon tits, etc. For every Yotei, there's like a half dozen, "look at the hot girl" trailers/games.

This guy doesn't understand high femme concepts.

[benji]

Just from the stats Minthara gave us to disprove the "sexist bullshit" we can prove the factual correctness. Add them together:
Males: 54% on PC or console, so 46% mobile.
Females: 36% on PC or console, so 64% mobile.

Males are 50% more likely to play on PC or console. What do you think percentage share of the "female console" figure do you figure are Nintendo consoles?

edit: Oh, would you look at the report:

Everyone who doesn't download it and just buys their food normally is subsidizing my ability to get a large Coke and large fry for only $2 total.

Why this would be considered misogynistic? It has been the case since more a decade ago. There is nothing controversial about that statement.

Why is Minthara so terrible at her job?

[nampad]

Most of what is being made and published by the corporations is soulless slop anyway. Even before AI. Especially post-COVID.

And every time someone like Steve Jobs or Iwata dies the world becomes more slop and we're fast heading into a direction where those who don't make slop are going to retire.
The solution they have now is to bring back old stuff with a new lick of paint and even that stuff is sometimes sloppified.

I don't know what the problem is either. More women in the workforce who avert risks, everyone trying to make a quick buck, conformist culture, the misfits not suitable for the corporate world, no one allowed or daring to speak up when something is shit, inflation, everyone trooning out, needing to meet so many regulations in so many different markets that you're better off creating the least offensive thing?

And it's not one industry, it's music, cars, clothing, video games, movies, TV shows.

The Mazda 2 is the same as the Toyota Yaris, Mercedes sells cars without a Mercedes engine how does that happen?

Escape From New York intro theme, which I have always loved
Power metal version, in the style of DragonForce, which I just summoned from the aether
 

AI music made by someone who put their heart and soul into it is not as sloppy as most human created content.

I blame Gen Y for having low standards and their excessive corporate cocksucking. Just look at their Apple worship, buying shit products that look nice and convincing themselves the restrictions they suffer are worth it because "it's beautiful".

Ironic post, considering this is from a nintendrone 🤤

Minthara plays through Final Fantasy XI once a year:

Play through all the stories solo with trusts, it's great! Do be aware that certain jobs will struggle with some fights compared to others, but that is XI in a nutshell.

When I play through it yearly I almost always do Ninja.

It doesn't take me that long and I always have fun revisiting the game and the story!

I love it, but it's not really what it used to be, for better or worse. You can get from 1-99 in like... a week of casual play. It used to take months.

If it's an original playthrough it might take a bit longer than that due to level caps and such, but yea, 1-99 in a day is totally a doable thing much issue if you know what camps you are going to.

The only annoying story progression blocker is Adoulin, so every time I play through I get going there early so my exploration things can accrue in the background.

Usually takes me about a month playing pretty casually to blaze through all the story content.

Kaya definitely yelped when Hasan reached for something on the left. As for for reaching for Zyn, he usually reaches in front of himself for zyn or a different location.

He's a Zyn user?????

Just when you think it couldn't get worse...

I have no idea what Zyn is but I liked your post because it's anti-Hasan.

Yeah, I do blame millenials for basically being the consoomerist generation with the walls of funko pops. When all the mainstream pop culture stuff started explicitly pandering towards them such as the MCU, it was over for the regular folk.

tell the jews to stop bombing first 

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Yep i agree. I personally think specifically the platform OTs are a big part of what fosters this us vs them rhetoric that appears in a lot of gaming topics.

I'm going to be real, it's less the platform OTs and more the community discords and there's only so much we can do about that. Shoot, I routinely get accused of taking a bribe as a result of nonsense from one particular discord. We banned a guy the other day for toxic nonsense and they proceeded to stalk me and make the accusation in a discord I happen to be in. They literally joined the discord to do it.

The most toxic stuff doesn't happen in the OTs, the talk in the OTs is generally on topic and not bad. The issues generally come from discord nonsense.

It is the exact same dynamic in a bunch of them. Specific mods get blamed for specific bans even if they didn't have a hand in said ban, while other mods are the heroes because they are viewed as being "on our side"  despite being the ones who actually issued the ban that pissed said discord off.

A big problem in these spaces is that we can shuffle the warriors and more toxic personalities off the forum, but they will stick around in the discords for years and years spewing all kinds of nonsense that nobody wants to challenge because that would put them on the outside of the in-group.

[kaleidoscopium]

Not wrong, but not quite getting what his real issue is. So close
