    I never understood this mentality, myself.

    Gamers: "I never get laid... đŸ˜©"

    Also Gamers: "Women are just kitchen accessories."

    I can buy a new toaster from the shop, why can't I buy a woman too? Does this mean Gamers are pro sex-work? Or pro indentured servitude for women more likely..

      I have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.

      Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn't care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.

        Obligatory footnote: EvoPsych is mostly bunk, deeply intertwined with eugenics and riddled with homophobia, sexism and rape apologia.

          Playing online since dialup/Internet cafe days, can confirm.
          Also it’s just more fun to get along.

              If it makes you feel any better those hours were spread out over the last 10 years or longer. I can't even remember when I started. Just one of those ol' reliable games for me.

                Evolutionary psychology. I think there’s real research in the field, but it’s drowned out by charlatans who use invoke its name to lend credence to their made-up bullshit without the burden of scientific rigour.

                            Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.

                              You're absolutely correct, I had a similar experience

                              I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we'd 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you'd have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.

                              Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.

                              Holy hell, it's like people's brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.

                              I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

                                    Not really a gold star by the top player’s name for this, either. The comment alone leaves plenty of room to be interpreted as “girls should be easy to beat/poor gamers because they’re girls.”

                                        I have noticed that all of these misogynists are incredibly insecure alpha-pretending males. Can't imagine how tiring this constant fear must be.

                                          Same feelings here, I used to average around 1k hours per year in my "active" years.

                                          All of the issues with CS2 kinda put the end to that, played the beta, then stopped for a year, and now I play few games every few days
