More like I'm just sick of people hijacking my favorite art form to express political/social issues or sexual fetishes, both of which are becoming too common. It's exactly why I've grown more and more in favor of retro gaming, back neither of those expressions were anything but a fringe group of miserable individuals and weirdos that most gamers ignored. Not going to argue further, I've spoken my piece.
I'm glad, because you're talking nonsense.
what you're referring to is a time when you were a kid and didn't realize the politics. now you're aware of it and are acting like it's new. this is just illiteracy.

"My position is so tenuous yet so important to my identity that I will not tolerate the slightest challenge."
Alternatively, "That's why my favorite book is Moby Dick, no frou-frou symbolism. Just a good simple tale about a man who hates an animal."
Psychonauts is about trauma. Fallout is anti-war. FFVII is environmentalist. Samus as a woman was an intentionally subversive choice. Video games have had socual commentary for as long as it's been able to be expressed.
"a man who hates an animal" made me laugh so hard

Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.
Space invader is about uniting all of earth's peoples against a common challenge.
Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.

Can we see the study ??
Let's see how credible it is -
Politicizing games is so incredibly tiresome.
-
Not the actual paper but here ya go
So no citations & only a mere opinion ?
So it's clear as day then.
It's a misandric hit-piece (off course it's from BBC) -
my inner engineer wants to challenge this: if you have a 3d scanner on a stick and maybe the right kind of 3d printer. not sure, haven't really worked with nylon materials.

It's a misandric hit-piece (off course it's from BBC)There are SO many sources on this it’s obvious you didn’t even bother to look.
Here’s the paper
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0131613
Maybe do some research for once in your life?

Reminds me of this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684319871913
In short. The higher the social status of the woman compared to the man, the more likely the man is to sexually objectify her. Wheras women aren't more likely to do this based on relative status.
Objectification is defined as reducing a person to solely looks and sexual function.
Similar stuff is seen in primates. Females are easier targets to assert dominance over. Since they are physically weaker. Male long tail maqacues losing their status, would seek out younger/weaker targets to establish dominance over. Something that was interesting too, is that female maqacues with more masculine facial features, were less often subjected to dominance seeking behaviour (from both males and females if I recall correctly) than females with more feminine faces.
It seems to boil down to "who can I dominate with little risk?" Female? Easy. Big male? Stupid idea. Young male? No problem. Male of equal size? Potentially.

if you think about it, in tetris once you fit perfectly you get destroyed. but if you don't you eventually help each other get to the top. maybe it's a caution against conformity.
-
What are you talking about? The BBC article references the research paper directly?
Oh I probably disable JS then, I apologize
-
I wonder what kind of person judges people (Men to be precise) as sub-humans because they didn't have sex with a woman ?
lol incel club has been infested with other creepy stuff waaaay beyond just that somewhile ago. today's incels are low level IQ insults to the people who were the true incels of before, like those intelligent people who came up with 15 feb and so on.

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—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.

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

In the 90s I watched something and there was a woman that was becoming a fairly competent go cart racer, she quit cause the men she was competing against couldn’t stand “losing to a girl” and got quite nasty about. This won’t be a credible source though, will it?
-
They wouldn't say "you're getting beaten by a girl" as much as they would respond to the guys losing their minds who happened to be below them on the scoreboard by saying things like "Why are you yelling at her she's playing better than you are shut up". Kinda way.
There are definitely many competent players that will be like “haha you’re getting beaten by a girl” out there, though.
-
Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.
More likely higher ranked players finally figured out that keeping harmony within your team does wonders for your chance at winning.
The amount of infighting I've had to stop just to save my elo is insane, why would i start something just because of someone's gender.
