But I thought the majority of gamers were women? That was was the line corporations were pushing for a while there. Damn racist sexist women gamers.

Of course Vice would promote this "study". We all know it's a crap study pushed by and for ideologues to tar gamers. But remember the old push that women are now the majority of gamers since they play too much angry birds and candy crush. Funny that they can't see their own hypocrisy.

From the study Vice used in the article:

The right-wing nationalist movement is characterized by a rejection of mainstream politics and media, strong identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, and the belief that your own country is better than all others

This is considered strong hostile sexism, if you belive that:

“Once a woman gets a man to commit to her, she usually tries to put him on a tight leash.”

For Racism I could not see what they used as example, as we know both do you see skin color and you do not see skin color are racist so is hard to tell how they calculated.

I got muted in a discord for racism today

They were talking about how parts of New York City are super safe and it’s not fair to use the data for the entire city

I said something like : “if you removed the top 5 violent cities America would be one of the safest in the world”

They claimed this was direct racism, despite no race being named

The word has lost all meaning

They do use a study and the study looks to be bullshit, there is a hyperlink for it about half way thru the article.

Is all about what you consider sexism or racism, they consider not trusting the media as alt-right and saying that women tend to try to control the guy once you get together is misogynism.

The fact is that if you are heavy in to games when you get in to a relationship the women will try to get you to play less for obvious reasons. Realizing this does not make anyone a sexist, is just observing reality.

I did not look very deeply in what they consider racism as they put no example and I did not take the time to look at the links inside the study.

As long as you can control what the terms racism, sexism, white nationalist mean then you can manipulate the results.

Of course. Similar to how people will manipulate things to make themselves a victim. Funny article too because gaming companies have been telling us that women dominate gaming

The thing about playing videogames is that they train you to accurately assess events.

Gamers used to not be liked, playing games instead of socializing in high school was seen as we were losers but we played games anyway because we did not give a fuck what some shallow, empty headed retards thought about us.

All they have is shaming us in to conformity. We did not care about it then and I do not give a fuck now.

The study they use for the article can be reduced to white straight guys that play games are not shamed in to submission to deny basic reality,

Depends on what game I'm playing, Skyrim, you bet! Those high and mighty knife ears gotta learn their place!

Warframe, no I just like seeing if I can nuke the entire map with a button. Plus I except all people so long as they either prove to be a badass, funny or have great 'assets'

The study does not use games, is the participants that have been chosen as part of those identifying as gamers. I should have linked the study rather then the article.

The study is ridiculous do to what they consider sexism and alt-right behavior. As an idea, not trusting the media is alt-right extremism.

Let me guess, telling someone they suck because they choked and couldn't clutch a game is racist/sexist according to them?

Even in their stupid completely manipulated statistics the women are slightly under 50% of gamers.
