Why are there so many male gamer jerks?

[Nogsec]

Women are usually very polite and friendly in video games
Men are unlikeable rude jerks 60% of the time

Not all men are jerks but all jerks I find on the internet are men.

[crunchyfrog]

Because men tend to be more proposed to be jerks I find generally.

I work at music festivals a lot, and have done this for over twenty years now. I've seen lots of things and have to deal with some crazy stuff. But mostly drunk people in unfamiliar circumstances, or unable to cope with the weather and so on.

And yes, if we get people who are problematic there's definitely more men in there.

But you can break it down further to be more accurate. The more problematic age range tends to be the mid twenties up to around the thirties and slightly younger than 20s. Either end of that not so much.

So I've said it before and I'll say it again, if this causes you an issue on line you can't filter out men versus women easily but you CAN filter ages by changing when you play.

For example, being retired and at home I can get to play at any time of day. If I play first thing in the morning, there's few about until about midday, and this seem an average time. In the afternoon, it goes quiet again until about 4pm. And that's the time I avoid, as you are going to get a lot of itinerant kids at that time.

So I tend to wait until about 10pm as there's often a hard cutoff when you get the best time of adults who have limited time to play and will behave nicely and this goes on til around 2am ish.

Also this OP crunchyfrog is correct, depending in the game and the time zone you can play the odds in your favor.

The females on Steam are actually males pretending to be females.

it's a litmus test / gate keeping tool


online people act the worst. In video games you gotta unleash pent up anger rage frustration and sadness. Venting


if you shy away or break down cry or rage against it then you're out of most gaming circles. Not the regular ones for the masses im talking the very niche ones. The actual fans who know 70% of background / lore on the games or more.

If you pass you can chill with the big kids.
It's like dipping your feet to test the waters before you jump in head first.

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

also i know girl gamers. Outside of legit building / creating ez pz games most are actually as vicious as guys are. The good ones anyhow that can solo v 5 and win 2X or more matches easily.

the rest suck at the games or are being fake nice

Like art, what one thinks of an individual is subjective and therefore only of relevance to the individual casting the dispersion.
Its also rather humorous to spout such a percentage when chances are no math was involved and that its just an attempt to paint a certain opinion in a certain light.

i have had my share of toxic women gamers, if i have to be sexist.
but i'd rather find it more logical to say that there are some toxic gamers and it has nothing to do with sex.

you can use that victorian attitude if you like, but women can be as bad if not worse than men and occasionally some women can be so toxic it's impossible to tell the difference of the two apart.

the common misconception is that women are a minority of the computer gamer base, yet no one has actually tested that to find out if it's really case. so the pot is calling the kettle black on this one, OP.

Because men are the ones that go to war and kill people...

[Grimmz]

now i want to know how do you seek out these women. is it game specific?

when i play competitive games its like 1 woman every full moon, i'm not sure how am i supposed to make a toxicity graph when theres a singular women every 200 men or so.

yeah i guess a lot of those men in 200 were toxic while that 1 woman i met like a week ago was pretty decent person.


bruhhhhhhhhh

Fair point, no woman in America has ever been forced against her will to go and fight in World War 1 or 2. Infact women weren't even allowed on the front lines until after the Vietnam war, before then they could still join the military but only as field nurses kept away from the combat.
