Why is it OK to hate on men for their hobby, but the moment we put women's hobbies down we are suddenly sexist hateful misogynistic pigs?

[Anonymous]

Question was inspired by a worthless pink anon who shat on all men who play video games. I responded by telling her that rejecting someone due to a hobby was idiotic and childish at best. I further asked how she would feel if her perfect man rejected her because if her hobby. She responded by telling me I'm a worthless hateful misogynistic pig, and then blocked me..

I hate hypocrites.. Oh and the hobby was video games..

The way I see it there are far worse hobbies to have. If she's so anti games that's on her, but she's literally shutting out 80% of guys.

So someone trolled you on GaG and that means it’s True? Also it seems on here a lot of girls are actually guys faking it. Potentially you were trolled by a guy. Anyhow, someone on gag trolled you and now you are upset? Away from social media most people don’t give a shit about a persons hobbies, caveat being they are not really weird and that that is all the person does. For example you game, I do as well but also play sports, go running mountain biking etc, however I do game a fair bit as it chills me out. If a persons only social interaction is gaming then that’s getting a bit red flag territory, as you want someone able to socially interact with others.

She might need to get with the times. Even Vin Diesel is a World of Warcraft nerd:

Along with Henry Cavil (he's a mega-gamer as an obsessed fan of WoW, Total War, Skyrim, Witcher, etc):

It's not. But a lot of people still view video games negatively. It's common in the older generation to think that only children play video games.

[LazerBean]

Also 50% of men and 48% of women play video games, so that isn't even a gender issue.

Agreed

And yet we have all of these video games for adults. It's quite funny that they think it's only for kids.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't think it's ok at all. As long as the hobby doesn't cause harm to anyone, there isn't a problem.

[Asker]

No disagreement. I've been gaming since the 80's, it's literally the reason I'm in the field I'm in.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Video games are always great. I go on a playing binge once in a while.

[Asker]

Me too, not every day, but a few hours per week. It's how I de-stress

[LiamJHayden]

All women do not think that way, and it is easy to just avoid those who hate what you like. I collect guitars and effect pedals, DC and Marvel Super Hero statues, and Lord of the Rings memorabilia. If she hates any of these things I just move on.

40% of gamers are female. Most of my female friends game. She's entitled to her opinion no matter how short-sighted, imbecilic, and juvenile they are.

[DarkLegacy]

You are quite right about her, just sexist man hating feminists.

[Asker]

The bitch literally told me that game devs don't game.. Like wtf man. Bullshit.

[HelpfulWoman]

It's not okay. They went anon because they either totally know it's a dumb take or were simply trolling.

My buddy is 67 (68 Mar.14) and is an avid gamer. You'd think he was 18 as he games almost every waking hour.

[AngryCarl]

All the more reason to become a gamer, sounds like.

[Yannae]

People don't like being disliked and those who can't handle that, act like what you said is ok. Just find someone mature.

Because most women have double standards...
