[QUOTE=milkandcooki;41716120]i didn't expect a video like this in this section, as i've said before, because generally pro-feminism videos like anita's get showered in dumbs.[/QUOTE]
excuse me
isn't like half the point of feminism to make people stop generalising people based on preconceptions about whatever groups they belong to and judge them as individuals
because uhh, holy shit the irony here is astounding

you dont see any irony in going "don't me just because im part of *insert group here*" and then immediately judging others based on what group they're part of?

except he's literally correct in saying most pro-feminism threads like the anita ones get showered in boxes. you can verify stuff like this by simply looking at those threads
it's not judging anyone, it's just pointing out the popular opinions in this demographic

Is that why ~40% of gamers are women?

you're a funny guy
playing video games does not mean you're particularly interested in them
as in, actually a video game enthusiast, and as in actually plays games that are not, for the lack of a better word, casual in nature.

don't cop out of this by trying to act superior
pointing out that anita threads get showered in boxes is a factual and verifiable thing
generalising all women is a completely different thing

who am I judging here? if anything all this does it point out the typical demographics of this forum
if I said most facepunchers were gamers would that be judging to you

You said playing games doesn't always count for being a gamer, what did you expect
[QUOTE=Agoat;41720780]You said playing games doesn't always count for being a gamer, what did you expect[/QUOTE]
i said playing games doesn't mean you're a video game enthusiast
[QUOTE=Jackald;41720754]That's a very misleading statistic.
If you consider all video games, then it's actually closer to 51% women 49% men.
If you take away mobile games, then it's that 40% statistic you just cited
If you take away a few of the ultra popular games like Call of Duty and Borderlands, then it becomes more like 20%
Core gamers are still predominantly male-dominated, and publishers simply want to appeal to the biggest demographic.[/QUOTE]
I'm sure you can get as specific as you like to mess up any statistic.

urgh "gamer" elitism is seriously the most embarrassing thing in this subculture
[QUOTE=elowin;41720778]ahahahh

Being enthusiastic about mobile games is the same as being enthusiastic about games like Skyrim. There is no such thing as a "real gamer". It is a false classification made up by insecure children like yourself to justify their exclusionary and elitist beliefs about video games.
Shitstorm fuel if I ever saw it.
Does being a gamer include people who play monopoly and hide n seek?
what's really hypocritical is how, whenever these sorts of issues are brought up, people always say "they're just games! why can't we all just play games without all this drama"
then you hear the same people go on and on about what constitutes a "true" gamer

No, it's actually not.
You see, that makes you enthusiastic about mobile games, not about, as you said, "games like Skyrim"
It's not the same thing, it's two completely different demographics, and they shouldn't be mixed up.
"If you don't play Call of Duty and Skyrim you're not a [B]'REAL GAMERRRRR'[/B], therefore you can't criticize my precious video games.

I'm pretty sure a comparison between casual gamer/gamer and sunday driver/driver could be made here.

Mobile games are games. Period. If you're enthusiastic about them, if you play them a lot and like them, you are a gamer. To say otherwise is to perpetuate the elitist idiocy that smothers gamer sub-culture.
[QUOTE=Jackald;41720876]Strawman argument if i've ever seen it.[/quote]
"Oh yeah No True Scotsman, no problem there, but how dare someone generalize my idiotic argument!!!"
[QUOTE=Jackald;41720876]You can twist and deliberately misinterpret my argument as much as you want, that doesn't dilute the facts.[/QUOTE]
But there is no such thing as a "real gamer" so there is no argument to be made. Okay, women play more mobile games then RPGs and shooters. That doesn't make them any less of a "gamer" than me or you.
