i mean of course youre going to have a conclusion like that polling exclusively mobile game players. For example had they polled female MMO players (there are a lot), the results would likely be far different.

In other news: the sky generally appears blue.

Gotta have data to do anything with it. Important to actually be able to show and prove problems exist before trying to deal with them. (Need more data on causes)

Many men are emotionally unable to accept things like this. I think the reasoning goes like

  • i'm a good person
  • i like my hobby
  • someone is saying bad things about my hobby
  • this makes me feel bad, so it must be false
  • furthermore, the person bringing it up is attacking me

Facts don't matter. There's really nothing you can do if you're not someone they like.

I also think about this comic a lot: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1151.html - Some people are too cowardly to grow.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone link an oots comic. Nice pick.

I also think it may be just... sexism... I know people who behave like this towards women, but not other men...

Who play mobile games

So not proper gaming like on console or PC?

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I've been playing a certain well known game for over a decade now. I've developed such skill at never specifying anything that could out my gender I could put it on a resume.

It's actually quite fun. Oh the stuff men talk about when they don't know there's a lass in their raid group lolol

Now that I'm "old", it ain't about guilt, shame, or exclusion, it's about how fun this facade is. Y'all neeeever know. So keep talking.

Yeah that's definitely not going to be exclusive to mobile games, but I always feel like mobile games are generally more isolating to begin with.

Suuuuuuure buddy, mobile gamers. Very reputable.

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca -2 points 3 days ago

It’s not a culture. Don’t play online.
