Misogyny in online gaming

EDIT:

When I lament Jacobin deconstruction, it is precisely the deconstruction of traditional, legitimate authority and natural order I lament, i.e. the systematic subversion of symbols such as those of -- most visibly -- throne and altar, and their replacement instead with the symbols of money and the guillotine, that is to say corporate neo-mercantilism and democracy.

Seriously shocked if this is a real statement. I've talked to a lot of reactionaries in my day, but never one so extremist that they pined for the 'good old days of feudalism'.

What's the word for someone who gives a person a hard time for having a different belief to them?

I think it is Bigot. The irony in that majority groups were ground down by minority groups to become minority groups who are now being ground down by the majority groups who were minority groups.

Seriously, everyone should be entitled to express their own beliefs. No-one should be able to force their beliefs on others. Like homosexual marriage as an example. Why is it a better option to force an established group to change their ways to accommodate you, instead of simply starting a new thing, because you are a new thing.

Call it a union, a pairing, a brilliant, flying multicolored wheel of joy. No-one cares. Why does it have to be called marriage? Marriage is a christian term used for a christian tradition, and Christians don't generally condone homosexuality. Why the need to rub in their faces that you can trample their traditions and they can't stop you. It's unnecessary, and doesn't follow the right path toward conciliation, quite the opposite in fact.

I suspect the vast majority of people don't actually think their beliefs through, they just accept that they have them.

...egotistic...

I find your use of this word amusing.

Honestly, I have the bizarre experience of having played games with fairly "normal" gender ratios compared to most others. Puzzle Pirates, Haven & Hearth, Wurm. I'd definitely agree that there seems to be a sentiment of misogyny in some games that are hugely male dominated, but I've never seen it here. In particular I notice it in First Person Shooters.

Which is odd. Because in male dominated MMO style games women are often fawned over and pampered.

As for society? *shrugs*. In my country I feel men and women have roughly equal amounts of problems, though they're quite different in nature. Women's issues continue to receive attention, while men's issues seem to be shunted aside. In the long run we're not going to achieve equality, we're just going to create a different inequality.

Some people are fine with it, but I find it hypocritical.

Delicious irony!

I don't think any gay people want your homophobic priests to marry them. They want the civil rights that everyone else gets to enjoy. Stop trying to pile your religious dogma onto the policies of the state.

That's a clear misinterpretation. Did you even read the entire post, or did you just look for the first thing to pick out and troll with.

Can't tell if you are trolling or just pants-on-head-retarded.

The institution of marriage, as well as the definition and meaning of the word completely predate christianity.

This is not even remotely up for debate.

You are either ignorant as ***** or just trolling.

I literally just lost every ounce of respect I had for you as a human being.

You are a repulsive ***** cancer and I sincerely hope you are sterile because the last thing this world needs is more anti-progressive god-fearing nutbags like you.

You ***** disgust me.

Progressive tolerance in action. The bastard child of universal suffrage and public education. ^^

Lol, religion and politics..
Well I have had enough fun for the evening, Im leaving this one alone.
Do as to others as you would have done to yourself, just about sums it up.
I wait in anticipation for the update and I am going to bed before the mushroom cloud goes up in one of these threads

How is that a clear misinterpretation? Its a direct quote from you. That whole post is a giant sack of irony. You're basically defending your bigotry by calling other people bigots for wanting equal rights. How silly can you really be?

You're right, I don't tolerate outright racism and sexism, nor do I tolerate the worship and spread of misinformation and anti-facts. You are preaching cancerous ideologies that aim to oppress and harm others and have for generations. If you wish to perpetuate these oppressive anti-progressive ideologies you are going to be a sorry old man and the last of a dying breed of right-wing fundies. Even in the southern United States people with your absurd and repulsive opinions are being labelled as extremists today. Your opinions are outdated, misinformed and undeniably ignorant and wrong ... and hopefully they will die with you.
