Women inconsistent and don't communicate clearly or honestly, more news at 11.

In general, yeah.

But this is more because of their hierarchy, women will backstab, confused and make disinformation to sabotage other women as it's all a competition to them.

With us guys, unless your a direct threat, more then likely we'll warn each other if there's an issue so that we can have a calm life.

They dislike sexualized characters, because they're told they're supposed to.

They like playing as sexualized characters, because gaming is, and always has has been, escapism. The fantasy doesn't have to be realistic to be enjoyable. I'll never be a six-foot-one He-Man built like a brick shithouse, and I've made peace with that, but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy the fantasy.

Social pressure versus human nature.

No, they like playing as sexualized characters because that's what they want to look like.

Even when they do communicate clearly, it can be terribly counterintuitive.

>People (especially women) answer polls based on how they think they are supposed to reply rather than their actual behavior.
Shocking developments.

They never disliked them. They just say they dislike them because that is the "correct" answer right now.

The sample was a bunch of female communications majors from one college. Probably an extremely feminist cohort.

Also worth pointing out that the researchers went in with a bias and wanting the answer of "They hate sexy video game characters", and then had to torture the hell out of the data just to even get this result. If you actually read the study, it turns out that they just put words in a lot of their mouths of "Well, it is just because they think it is feminine to be sexy and they are being drawn to the feminine representation." And of course, saying this is more proof you must change media.

Wow. They're really knocking it out of the park over at the "no shit" research journals these days.

A study has found that sex differences in academic strengths, favoring girls in reading and boys in mathematics and science, are more pronounced in wealthier, gender-equal countries, suggesting that personal interests increasingly shape educational outcomes in such contexts.

What will get reveal next? That men tend to enjoy certain genres more than women?

It’s absolutely mind boggling how science has gone so far back that now studies have to be conducted to “point out” shit everyone has considered fact years ago.

They say they dislike them because they were trained by feminazis to think this is the acceptable answer.

They often also say they dislike right-wing gym bros despite begging to get picked by one.

Pay attention to what women do, not what they say.

Of course they do. A lot of girls who play video games engage in a certain kind of behavior to attract male attention. It stands to reason they'd pick a stand-in that would also potentially attract male attention.

Remember that idiot from the new G4 that went on her rant that brought them down. She bitched about attractive women not being there for your enjoyment meanwhile was thirst tweeting about Megan Fox. Of course they hate it since progressive women are frumpy and lumpy while the trannies are just wearing a female skinsuit with an open wound.

You have to pay attention to what they do instead of what they say and you absolutely have to not let them punish you based on what they say.
