      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.

        Of course not. Especially with supportive people like you

        You'll need an audience with a much larger inferiority complex if you want that sort of claim to resonate.

          There are definitely many competent players that will be like “haha you’re getting beaten by a girl” out there, though.

          Nobody ever claimed pubstompers were good people. We pubstomp precisely because we're not

            Why should one need an audience for that claim, when the evidence is right there on the internet & IRL

                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.

                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.)

                  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.

                  And the old WCFAN (We Couldn't Find A Name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!

                    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.

                      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.

                      Ugh. Thank you, I was just about to say it myself. There's been politics in games for forever. Even the simplest shit like, "environmental destruction bad, so Sonic fight Eggman"

                      People are just too dumb to realize that they were kids back then...

                          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.

                            even mechanics can be unintentionally political. there was a really cool errant signal video years ago talking about civilization games. it was mostly about what the games idea of a "civilization" is and how the win conditions reinforced the idea that one civilization has to be the superior one to rule them all...

                            but also these ideas were further reinforced by the way barbarians were depicted. that word already has baggage but the interesting thing is that in civ4 they share a banner with wildlife. like, they're almost like animals or natural disasters and not people at all.

                            what conservatives don't understand is that you can think about things like this and acknowledge what they mean and still enjoy the game and or understand why these choices were made. they're not necessarily political choices as much as they're mechanical, but that doesn't mean we can't think about what mechanical choices might mean to the player, or what messages they send. if video games are art, they can—and I would say must—be critiqued.

                            fear of change is at the core of conservatism, and that drives their utter aversion to introspection, and also to criticism of things and people they like. and vice versa, they can't bring themselves to appreciate any part of anything they don't like. if they like a person they can do no wrong. if they like a game it must be perfect. if they dislike a song it's the harbinger of the fall of civilization (ooh look at me bringing it full circle).

                            in a world of absolutes, there can be no discussion. don't ask me to think about things please. leave your thoughts and opinions out of my fun time, lest my views get challenged. this is what's funny about the likes of ben shapiro pretending that they have the facts while liberals are too emotional. their entire world view is based on their feels, and their arguments follow those as justification.

                                I'm not a misogynist but anybody who consistently scores top on a public server pretty much is a pubstomper asshole by definition. And I have certainly been that. You don't do it for the challenge, or you'd be doing league and more competitive modes.

                                  Just seen your edit. Before I answer this question, are you seriously asking to be judged fairly after judging others unfairly?

                                          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.
