You gotta hear Greek chuds ranting about how when "we" were building the Parthenon the Germans/Europeans in general were eating acorns on trees. It's always about acorns and trees for some reason.
I joked about it once and some aussie nazi got upset and started telling me I hate white people, I told him I am literally white so he replied "no you're not, you're Greek" and I'm like, bruh.
Wow, you're not joking... The comments are reaaaaally bad. Someone is genuinely concerned about white genocide. I replied to one of these people, let's see where this goes...
Also why are they angry at menslib again? It's usually pretty wholesome, inoffensive and non confrontational. It's also literally what some of these people pretended to be complaining about, "but why aren't feminists talking about men's issues?". Well there you fucking go, they are.
I swear, if people keep unironically using leftist organizing terminology and comparisons to labor movement history to describe forum shit I'm gonna lose it.
This shows with some fluctuations that after 2010 there was a marked increase: https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/#:~:text=The%20statistic%20shows%20the%20gender,increase%20over%20the%20previous%20year.&text=The%20global%20gaming%20industry%20has,fast%20pace%20in%20recent%20years.
Of course the issue with this statistic is that it seems to only take into account the people who have played some video game, whereas some other statistics seem to imply there is a much more significant gap in people who identify as gamers, which is shrinking too. But yeah, the divide before 2010 was greater in general, not that it was as big a deal as they pretend anyways.
The issue is that everything about consoles is expensive. I'm not a hardcore gamer or whatever so I'm not gonna spend a few hundred euros for a console only to then have to buy every game I want to play. Like, yeah, maybe I will be slightly limited in terms of what games I can play in my computer compared to consoles, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to pay. This is why I don't think consoles are as accessible. It's like, PC is good for people who want to spend either 0 or thousands of dollars and consoles are for people who want to spend hundreds of dollars.
It's not that there weren't any women playing videogames, but there definitely weren't as many before because they were heavily marketed to boys. But in recent years there's definitely been a lot more women.
PC gaming is the People's gaming because it doesn't require purchasing anything you wouldn't need to have anyways and you can pirate shit very easily, change my mind.
(Of course this doesn't apply if you've spent 10k on a dedicated gaming rig, or if you own any of these cringey mice with a billion buttons and flashing lights lol)
That meme is not even true any more, they're permanently stuck in 2015 gamer culture. It's just obvious they don't know any women, most of the ones I regularly talk to play many of the games they consider "real", they're just not into gamer culture because 1) most people aren't anyways and 2) because these communities are toxic af for women. Same reason women prefer single player games or at least never reveal they are women, the moment someone figures out you're a woman in an online game you get 50 dumbasses awoogaing on you.
I legit have no clue what this means lol
There's already a place for that, it's r/MensLib, and it's kinda silly sometimes but it's well meaning and positive. It's so positive that you feel bad saying anything even about the kinda dumb stuff over there. This is just weird lol
