Also turbo nerds tend to have a decent amount of disposable income and poor impulse control so I understand why someone who makes their living as a cam girl or streamer might reach out to that demographic.

BrigadierSensible posted:What Fixed that for you. I've known a couple of women like this and its almost invariably the result of internalized misogyny, profound self-loathing and also having had the sad revelation that, metaphorically speaking, if you have no standards whatsoever, even a dumpster becomes a free all-you-can-eat buffet. (probably also unmedicated mental illness)

BrigadierSensible posted:Because, who wants attention from "gamers"? What self respecting woman is prepared to pretend to like a thing so they can hook up with an unemployed neckbeard living in his mums basement that screams racial, homophobic and misogynist slurs at children because they lost at something that is supposed to be fun? But they would never treat a woman like that, it would be all elegantly tipped fedoras and "m'lady"s. Unless they got turned down over IMs.

I know "gamers" have contempt for women in general, I am talking more the straw-woman "hey guys, I play video games too, I'm not like those bimbos who only like the Kardassians etc." "This woman engages in my hobby because she wants male attention and no other reason" is going to be a part of the culture as long as sexism in general is, along with the cool girls who play along with it out of their own internalized misogyny. If you want a current gamer-specific example look up the arguments over boobie streamers on twitch and how they're not real gamers because they're just selling their sex appeal. I'll let you fill in the blanks on what makes someone a boobie streamer as opposed to a real gamer; the hint is in the name.

Oh, I understand the cam-girl phenomenon of milking cash from the sad and lonely. I was instead wondering more about the phenomenon of a man who plays video games because he enjoys them looking across and seeing a woman playing video games, and instead of thinking, "I play video games because I enjoy them, therefore she must play video games because she enjoys them", thinks "She is only playing video games to get into my hot sweaty cheeto stained trackpants."

That would require him to understand that women are fully formed independent human beings and not simply objects to be used to fulfil his needs and desires. Many of them genuinely seem to struggle with this very basic concept.

The sea lion could easily be replaced by gun owning 2nd amendment types. It's not meant to be something racist or bad like "I could do without Black people". It's warning against saying something aloud because you'll now get zerg rushed by stupid loving arguments like, "did you know the AR-15's bullet is very small" or "I bet you think AR stands for Assault Rifle." Could also apply to Bitcoin and Gamergate.

I know "gamers" have contempt for women in general, I am talking more the straw-woman "hey guys, I play video games too, I'm not like those bimbos who only like the Kardassians etc." It absolutely is. This was just posted by one of the Korean players who was a part of the Overwatch League just the other day about having girls in his twitch chat: https://twitter.com/gatamchun/status/1037402146466082817 She goes into details about the comment in a few other tweets quote:Not to harp on this, and I’m sure many of you know - but the reason what Gambler said upset so many fans is because there is already an overwhelming perception of women fans in KR gaming communities as “vocal fangirls who don’t even really know/play the game.” It doesn't have the same connotations you were asking about but the essence is the same: girls are bad for business.

I mean maybe you'd have a bit more luck if you didn't swim around in your own chunky poo poo no matter where you were, even places where you get to tailor your image for complete strangers. Also, hiking and outdoors activities are boring? What is he looking for, "videogames and taking fatty microdicks up the rear end"?
