Misogyny in online gaming

[MagicManICT]

Yes, it's my collective word for all the ***** and whining, or even belittling and name-calling, some male players resort to when they find out there's females playing "their" game.

Latent Repressed Homosexuality. Some guys just need their boys' club to hang out in. They get all uppity and ***** when there are girls around.

Feminists, like many other "institutions" we put up with in Western society because there actually are problems there, go from the reasonable "equality for all" to the extreme "we're going to be superior because we've been repressed for too long." I think we should be supportive of the reasonable ones and tolerate the extreme ones and try to understand where they're coming from. That is, as long as they're not enacting some form of "retribution" on innocents, in which case we really should treat them like every other criminal. (I do mean those that would go out and commit crimes to prove their point or exact some form of revenge on a person, culture, or society. Freedom of speech and all that )

Where would your role be in this, Jorb?

Left alone. Reasonably taxed. Free to build computer games.

I hope by build you mean finish.

Extremists of any kind should be told to piss off.

Extremist:

ex·trem·ist
/ikˈstrēmist/
Noun
A person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, esp. one who resorts to or advocates extreme action.

Those two where more like advanced hippies before their time.

I'd say Moses was more of an extremist.

(...)

Gandhi held extreme political views, while Jesus held extreme religious ones.

[Ghilliedhu]

If you identify with a religion that is fundamentally racist, intolerant and anti-knowledge

almost all of them

even if you aren't an "extremist" you are still part of the problem.
