'Sexist Gamers are Losers' - Why this statement is wrong

TheCaptain53

So I was on YouTube browsing through some videos where I found an interesting video of the argument against the use of AI in 'Sexbots'. I think you can get the idea of what that is.

A video by the same channel was discussing a study conducted regarding the sexist nature of comments towards females from males on an online video game (Halo 3).

Thought it was interesting.

I don't care, its just  a game, you have fun not think about how many problems there are wrong with the game

Wait, do you think I'm arguing that sexism is present in online video games?

If so, please watch the video. I understand that the thread title may be misleading (not my intention), but the content of the video supports quite the opposite.

It's not so much the reality of the situation I thought was interesting, more so the deluded conclusion the researchers had drawn and their idiotic conduction of said study.

This video isn't one calling out sexism in the gaming community, this video shits on feminsts and their inaccurate studies of sexism in the gaming community.

 

IIRC, this video criticizes the sample sizes used, and when looked at it, the amount of sexist comments used by gamers is like less than 5 percent or something.

Old shit no one cares about but me.

I probably should have catered the title of the thread to the content of the video, I think it may be a little misleading. :')

Any way to change it?

I still think your title is misleading. It sounds like you like sexist gamers.

 

should be something like "why sexist gamers aren't as big of a problem as some think"

 

 

 

remember kids, everything is sexist, racist and homophobic, you shitlords. bow down to the sarkeesian.

I'm only sexist when I see usernames that for some reason have to state they are female. It's like me using EvilMaleWaffles... Pisses me off to no end.

 

Actually, that isn't sexist, that's just being pissed lol.
