Why do male gamers treat female gamers like trash? (Page 2)

Question

I’ll leave some links to videos that are relevant to my question but it’s like male gamers love to gate keep games so much. It’s annoying asf, one time I was literally just playing vr chat with one of my other friends and these group of boys just made rape jokes about how they would rape us. It was super disturbing, who tf even makes jokes like that and this type of stuff isn’t even the worst that’s happened to me since I love play cod and cod lobbies are extremely toxic. On top of that it’s like a universal thing female gamers have to go threw.  Why is this, it’s like men think they own gaming or something. And they make fun if gamers girls if they’re “trash” when in reality why can’t they just enjoy a god damn game without the toxicity, it’s just a game and they take it so concerning. I love gaming and me and my best friend (male; so they don’t really have to worry about this) want to start streaming soon for fun but I’m worried I’m going to have to go threw bs since I’m a poc female gamer. Does any other female gamers go threw the same thing, and do other male gamers know why this happen\gate keep games from women and why?

Tbh I have no idea video game lobbies are awful especially since a lot of people who play are young kids and teens. At least you didn’t go through the 360 era of mw2 now THAT was bad

IAMNathanael · Answer

Well, I can only imagine... Maybe because they're afraid to get beat by a girl, so they'd rather you go away. I like games too but a game is just a game

Phoenix98 · Answer

Um most men ( male gamers included ) don't actually have a problem with female gamers I'm a male gamer and don't have any issues with it. If anything it's something of a meme these days.

Becase they're used to being treated like trash, and they view women in gaming as invading the space that was supposed to be theirs.

Gaming and nerd culture is now pop culture, and to many "gamers and nerds" seeing "normies" in their space and "appropriating" their "culture" in a way is offensive to them.

Not saying they should act this way or saying it's valid, but that's how I imagine they feel.

msbrightness · Answer

Good question, Part because they are Asian (Asians seem to hate their own women?) Part because... well, they want to be 'players' and they read on girlschase. com that is how you become a 'player'

slatyb · Answer

Insecurity. They derive their self-esteem from their gaming success and are afraid they may be owned by a woman.

genericname85 · Answer

because in the gamer community, you are judged by your "gaming skill", not your gender. and it just happens to be the case that "most" female games are trash in terms of their gaming skill.

captain_voidwalker · Answer

Clearly you don't see the way we treat male games. Trash talk is just part of the community. Either give as good as you get or gtfo of the hobby

Serenityy · Answer

I think men like to trash talk with other men and they forget you're a female

Anonymous · Answer

I honestly can't blame them since so many women use their sexuality to gain fame most these women aren't even real gamers.

DeltaCharlieEcho · Answer

Because generally they are. There are some good female gamers but most just coast on the fact that they don’t have to pull their weight because they’re female. Male gamers treat female gamers the same way they treat shitty male players.

Zaytovin · Answer

Males who do that are usually guys who are afraid of females, & view the gaming world as a break from the social interactions between genders in the real world. I on the other hand think female gamers are AWESOMEEEEEE!!!🤟🏾

TodsShadow · Answer

Your probably playing with kids. Or grown children. It’s a competition thing. It was a boys sport for so long then women started showing their interest. It’s like bringing your girlfriend to guys night out for a lot of them.

ToastyOats · Answer

Cause women fold under pressure much more than men making it an effective strategy. Am I wrong that it works? Otherwise why would you ask.

Iron_Man · Answer

Massageman · Answer

I'd like to hope that this is simply the "enemy" trying to play with your mind a bit to gain an edge in the game - - - - - -

Men say the same shit to each other. I dont get your point. Dont y'all keep saying you want to be treated equal? Smh.

TallAnon · Answer

Gamers treat all gamers like trash, to be honest. But yeah, anything that stands out gets called out. Women are still in the minority.

Anonymous · Answer

Sadly most gamers are sexist. Though most are still young; so there is a chance that they will eventually grow out of their sexism. Personally, I always enjoyed playing with women; and wish there were more girls into gaming.
