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]

  • Most male gamers are adolescents & are used to having a forum to be uber male as in modern society it is very much frowned upon so with the anonymity of the net they feel it's ok to be sexist & misogynistic! They generally grow out of it but not always! ;)

  • Well I honestly don't fully know the answer to that one. I've played with quite a few female gamers and I treat them with respect; just like any other person I game with. To me, it doesn't matter what gender you are, we should all be able to have a good time playing Destiny together...without all the nasty remarks or sexual statements

  • Probably because some men are afraid to be beaten by a woman.

  • I have quite a few female friends and never really have a problem. Maybe you should reevaluate your friends, if they are dicks to you and you continue to play with them,then it's on you.

  • Boys arnt used to talking t girls and it makes them uncomfortable because they spend most of their time gaming instead of socializing.

  • Because they're attention seeking bitches that dont care about the game. Pretty simple really. Now that we have that answered this thread can die.

    • Because that's the way the world is. You think just because it's an online community that anything would change? Be real.

    • I got kicked from party and fire team for being another female. Lady, I don't want your dudes, calm the fuсk down. She got really pissed and messaged me demanding what I said to the fire team because they all left after I was kicked. Oh I'm sorry you're a raging bitch trying to get the guys online through a video game. I'm just trying to play the game. Chill the fuсk out. The only thing that will be coming through my mic is me cussing at the damn game. Seriously, ladies. If you do this, you need to get over yourself. 99% of the women who will join you, don't want to flirty with anyone else in the party. This is why I play with guys, I can't stand how other women act (being flirty, mean). Also, ladies, [b]leave/mute[/b] the people flirting with you, or just leave if it bothers you that much. I just ignore the people talking unless it's about the game. Tired of getting kicked for being a damn woman.

      • Multiple reasons. Ego and pride mostly. But then you have guys who have had bad experiences with women. Cheating, turned down, or just whatever. And in that rage, they will target women blindly as a whole. To hurt, annoy, irritate and etc. To them, they see all women as the same. Even on a game, this rage or hate can show itself anywhere.

        • First of all, you're just generalizing way too much. Second of all, alot of women who play video games are attention whores, plus with my experience women in general can't distinguish the very thin line between cringy and not cringy.

          • The only judgements i make are this: Do you (not) speak english? Good connection? Age? (Hand eye coordenation issue plus my headset and i don't like supersonic voices) I believe these are good qualifers for coop missions where when you die, you fail.

          • Truth is.. depending on your voice nobody likes squeakers some females gets mistaking for being a 10 year old with a high pitch voice especially when you constantly speeking but if they know your a female and they kicked you then they must have something against girls. Hmu gt is RPS L Blunted L
