Science suggests if you troll girl gamers, you likely suck at FPS games

http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/trending/men-who-harass-women-are-losers-video-game-study-says-1.3162310 Baaaahahahah [quote]"Some have argued this is because women are entering male-dominated spaces that are full of misogynists … But in a study that we just published, we show that the cause could be something much simpler: the negative and sexist comments expressed by some men are really just a form of bullying, motivated by the fact that they are perceived as being lower in the pecking order." Essentially, researchers observed that men who were performing poorly in the game (failing to kill others, dying themselves) made "significantly more negative statements" toward a simulated, female-voiced player than toward any male players. The more poorly male players performed, the more negative comments they made about the female player through their microphones into the game. [/quote]

      I don't attack girl gamers, however girls who advertise that they're "girl gamers" are just as petty as the trolls insulting them.

    • Maybe "science" should quit suggesting stuff, and get back in the lab to cure a few things!!

      • Judging by your stats you must be the most misogynistic person on Earth.
