Why do men treat women gamers bad? I legit want true honesty here (open up)

Hey there, I'm a gamer from Texas. I have a legit question I really want to know. After encountering so many rude remarks flirting, or even observing fellow female gamers yelled at/cat called...I really wanna know why a lot if you Lads don't like women? There would be times nothing would happen and yelling name calling and harassment would arise. Almost all of the times the lady gamer werent doing anything and the male would pick at her. Either being sexual or really aggressive. I noticed male gamers would get super mad when she would try to defend herself as if she had no right to defend herself. Then there are the few sweet guys that are super quiet guys. Only 1% percent out of 99 percent. Just tell me a simple sentence of what your attitude towards women is, in the gaming community. Is it Jealousy? Nervousness? No contact with women? Or you just don't like women gaming? Thanks.[spoiler]im watching he honest ok....[/spoiler]

  • I still see female gamers as a unique entity slowly embracing the male orientated hobby that is gaming. I know people say "I see girl gamers as gamers" and that's cool and all but face facts, it's nice that so many girls/women are getting into the same hobby as us guys. Gaming cannot become bigger if it is confined to one gender. Both sexes need to show their love for the game.

  • I support any gamer, but to answer your question, to me a female who plays games is just another gamer to me. I more or less mind my own business, unless they interact with me, which in general doesn't happen very often, or I see someone who needs help, such as here on the forum. I don't like any abuse or harassment, and that applies to anyone.

  • The aggression doesn't have to do with only girls, it's like that for both genders, people like to trash talk. As for the sexual stuff, well, I don't know

    I very rarely see women or girls being abused while playing online games. Most of the abuse i have seen is directed at 12 year olds with squeaky voices. I won't deny the possibility of women being abused in online games but I know for a fact it is at a far lesser rate than you seem to have suggested. The majority of abusive behavior in online gaming is due to the animosity, and the fact that there are rarely any real word repercussions against them. If you are truly experiencing online abuse at this rate my advice would be to either ignore them or report them as these are the only real options available to you.

  • it's because they're dicks. I have online friends who are Black, female, gay, Asian and every other damn minority group you can shake a stick at. and I treat them just the same as my White, Male Heterosexual friends.. [spoiler] if you screw up badly, I WILL call you out.[/spoiler]

  • I don't treat them wrong I give them respect like everyone else. But if they start bitchin at me for something that's a minor slip up in standing up for myself because I ain't taking no shit.

    That's a bit if a generalisation. I've played with only 2/3 groups of guys who tried to shit talk me, all the rest are really nice ^^.

  • They aren't. You're making a sweeping generalisation to push your dogmatic agenda upon others. Go away and find somewhere that people like you
