!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Kinda curious does the same principle apply in other aspects of life?
Like in career when women gets to some higher position than a dude or when lifting weights and a women lifts more than some guy.
Wondering because i could expand the "skill issue" into so many new fields and just piss off quite a few guys.
See: "Hegseth, Pete"
I can bet he would be furious when he hears it, which would be hilarious.
Probably applies to men who value "(competitive)performance" or whatever way too much, thus increasing their insecurity and feelings of inadequacy or something
I honestly doubt the study was done properly. It sounds like made up of people hating woman, just to create friction. Maybe there is a study, made by woman in example (doesn't have to) who felt attacked often. Yes, there are hostilities towards woman, but also towards men in general. There are many reasons. Sure some of them act like this for the described reasons in the tweet, but we don't know how many. I've seen lot of stupid studies before.
You seem awful defensive of a study that wasn't aimed at you specifically.
This is not personal.
Got it, you're just sexist.
Only 13% of males in the study acted with hostility.
It was flawed in that only one of the female gamers were allowed to speak, though.
Yeah fair, nut still "git gud" and "skill issue" are nice terms which should be used more often in real life as well.
Add "RTFM" to the list.
Oh my dog this so much at work!
