I never understood this mentality, myself.
Gamers: "I never get laid...
"Also Gamers: "Women are just kitchen accessories."
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 âinteractâ with women is through porn, which is always made with a mind to what a woman would enjoy during sexâŠ/s

Politicizing games is so incredibly tiresome.
Only two genders: male and political.

Counter Strike was way better when this was the vibe. I am so tired of competitive this and gun case that. I've never been interested in 5v5 scrimming in any serious way, but that's all CS2 wants me to do.
I want gun game, I want wc3, I want ZM. I want quirky custom maps (glass!) and quake sounds and !bet ct all. I want to fuck around with new friends on a server for an evening, not to sweat my balls off throwing practiced smokes on dust2.
Same thing kinda happened to TF2. I mean, Competitive is dead but the server browser and community servers are not what they used to be. I miss when it was front and center. Today most people just play casual on Valve servers.
After a quick search it seems like the CS2 in-game server browser has gone to complete shit. I hope Valve fixes it. It's part of the Source Legacy.

this literally has nothing to do with the game itself. it's about behavior towards other people, which is intently political.
also video games are art which makes them political as well.
the fact that you kneejerked into this reaction feels super insecure and reactionary.

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.

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"

Can we see the study ??
Let's see how credible it is -
they then went on to become the founders of incel culture
I wonder what kind of person judges people (Men to be precise) as sub-humans because they didn't have sex with a woman ?

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
