and when you meet malice and mistake it for stupidity, you wish you didnt.KuromaTyrant said:That outlook is a quick way to raise your bloodpressure. I prefer stupidity>levity>troll>malice, but you know. I have superiority issues.Strazdas said:Well, maybe you should have made it clearer, becuase from your post it did indeed look like it, and i wasnt the only one that reacted this way. You know, on itnernet one must always asume malice before stupidity before joke because thats how internet works. and there were no clear signals this was a joke.mechalynx said:big colourful letters
your profile says 81. means that in the 90-95 you were still quite young and probably didnt notice it. neither have i (im younger than you) but there was a stigma of "games? thats for nerd boys only" in the culture. Even now in not that forward culture this stays. i live in eastern europe, and for aman to say hep lays vidoegames here is "well your childish but ok". for a woman "what are you doing this is not for you" is a reaction. sure there are some female that play, i know a few, but the cultural view is agasint that. and of course it is nto right, but that exists and ignoring it wont help.FalloutJack said:I'm really not. There's never been a real and actual movement about that. You might have some people making the DUR-face with a comment like that, but the equivalent of a 'no girls allowed' club doesn't mean we have a massive turn-off about women playing games. Much like all the times where people think violence in video games will ruin us all (something I read about as a child in regards to the original Mortal Kombat), I would have heard. This was never a thing.Strazdas said:Snip
