My mum used to be a hard core gamer, she dedicated hours of her time into getting to the highest levels of gaming, in fact she had to quit because gaming was consuming her life. But here's the thing, the game she was so committed to was called Family Barn, a role play game where you pretend to run a farm. Another game that she was committed to doing really well in was Nintendogs, a game where you care for virtual dogs.

Turning an unpopular socially awkward kid into a chore and a punishment to play with. I remember being 7 and thinking how messed up this was, but also didn't want to play with him because he was now a complete outcast and that would leach on to me. I know it sounds bad now, but when your a kid school can be brutal. The teacher turning this kid into a draw the straw chore was a horrible idea.

My wife is not a gamer by any means but she loves Mario kart. I showed no mercy for 2 years winning all the time but keeping it light cause it’s just friendly competition. Fast forward to today she’s holding her own against me and it’s a blast, she’s sending the banter right back too.

[@fakecubed]

I grew up in a family of very competitive card and board game players, my mother perhaps most cutthroat of all in the card games, and I gather her parents were hardcore card players so that's where she learned it. My parents never let us win at any games, and we didn't really play any games as a family that were purely chance-based, there was always a fair bit of skill involved in anything we played. It made me a very skilled player in lots of games, eventually spreading to video games too when I got into those, because I had a very competitive mindset. When I did beat my parents at something, it was really meaningful. I remember in particular the first time I beat my dad in chess, after probably a hundred or more games after first teaching me the game, totally without mercy as I had to figure out how to win. I never got frustrated, or lost interest. I understood that the game was hard, that my dad was trying his best, and anything I got out of the game, I'd earned. I've since surpassed him completely, he can never win against me now because I've since gone on to actually study the game, and I've realized he was never actually that good at it, just more experienced with a lot of beginner strategy. If he had let me win, even once, I know I would have never developed a real love for the game, I never would have kept playing it as I got older, and I never would have studied the game and learned how to play it at a pretty decent club level in adulthood. I never would have gone on to bond over the game with other people in my family, teaching them the game. I'm pretty good at card games, too, because of my mom, and I approach every video game I play with the same cutthroat attitude of doing whatever it takes to win.

[@Snt1_]

​@@fakecubedThat sounds nice. I had a similar chess experience with my uncle. Sadly my parents arent nesrly as competitive and while they dont really let us win without a fight, they arent really good either. Tbey also think "You play just for fun, no nees to get mad" which isnt a mentality I like

[@Shrukin9000]

Making fun of people is a great way for da Bois to relax.

[@tminusboom2140]

Relaxation doesn't have to come from doing something calming. Catharsis comes from many sources, and the two he seems are triumph- the rush and fall from having succeeded at something challenging or complex- and stress release- where you deliberately strain yourself and then return to your base state, with the experiential difference being identical to actually relaxing without truly loosening up. The latter is actually a great thing to do with muscles. Properly relaxing them can't reasonably be done whenever, but you can do stuff like tightly clenching your fist and then releasing it.

But the reason I chose not mention I'm a woman when playing live most of the time had NOTHING to do with getting "mean comments" lol it was mostly because when guys (especially socially starved ones) realize a woman is playing with them.... they will go out of their way to "defend me", or give me "handicaps", setting the standards lower for me etc. Basically they gave me privileges I did not want.

Was working on a roof and guys were tossing tools at one another, shoving each other, joking around, and rocketing up and down the ladder with no concern for safety. When you tell them to knock it off, you're a ballbuster. Young men are friggen dumb, especially those in labor positions. I was on that roof too, you think I was pulling that crap? They also skip personal protection like masks, shields, etc, because it's a little inconvenient or too hot. Never had a girlfriend that didn't shut up and listen when I told her to wear her n95 and some gloves, and to watch her fingers around a chop saw. Men cut corners because they get comfortable. So no, I never had to ask why there are so many male related work deaths because I've actually worked in male related fields, and y'all are dumb. May not bc PC but it's true.

As a society we need to start conversations with "Do you want validation? Or do you want an honest opinion?" Sometimes people need emotional support to not give up or keep trying new methods. Sometimes people need brutal (but kindly delivered) honesty that what they are attempting is just impossible for them. There are no blind racecar drivers. There are no mute opera singers. There are no double amputed handed dentists. You CAN'T do or be ANYTHING you put your mind to. Refusing to accept limits is foolish. And for people around them to refuse to acknowledge non-overcomable obstacles is cruel. We need to stop lying to everyone and teaching children to lie to themselves. It hurts everyone, creates more problems than it solves and sets people up for failure they feel they can't recover from. It's not true support when you ensure nobody wins.

[@derealized797]

I remember back in the ps2 gc xbox days, early 2000s. There was this xbox video with some dork talking about gaming on the xbox, and of course online play was a big part of it, which meant that they did mention how people do a little sh;t talking... just like anywhere else. It was normal. I remember playing online myself over the years, mostly you hear annoying ass kids talking so I usually muted everything. But if i was doing good in a game, i wanted to hear the anger, it meant i was doing something right. Basically if you're that traumatized by what people say in online games, either you really suck (and can mute), or you're pathetic and fragile and need a spine (and can mute). Otherwise if you're an even average player in most games you get people asking you to join their clan. Usually annoying ass kids. If you're good then pros might show interest and they don't care who you are. Feminists are idiots

It really is interesting how different male banter is from how women talk. I was raised by a single mother, almost exclusively around women. Only had a few male friends in high school, but many female friends. I interpreted male banter as just being malicious, I never assumed that the person was joking, just that they hated me. I was playing Team Fortress 2 three years ago and I forget exactly what happened but I was doing decently well and a guy on the other team called me a retard or something. We stayed in the lobby for a few more matches and eventually added each other because we were both decent at the game. I've talked to him frequently for the past 3 years now. He's my closest online friend, and my introduction to him was him calling me a retard and me saying something back to him. Because it wasn't motivated by hatred or anything, it was just typical banter. No ill-will, just a typical competitive attitude.

As a female, I gotta say this: gender-based harassment is WAAYYY more rare than these feminists make it seem. They keep speaking about all this "every day" and "all the time" nonsense. And I've seen men (who are trying to be considerate) give in to the bullsh*t. I game all the time, it's practically my life outside my real life. I play mainly Valorant these days. And being harassed for being a women has happened only a handful of times. And not once have I ever witnessed another woman be harassed for being female either. Targeted harassment in gaming hardly qualifies as an issue women are facing. These feminists are just sensitive crybabies trying to ruin an industry I love. I've seen videos where female gaming influencers talk about how so many women are scared to talk in voice chat because they're worried their team will harass them for being a girl. Bull. F*cking. Sh*t. This scenerio almost NEVER happens in reality (but then again, maybe it happens more often in the games that I don't play, idk). If you're a female and scared of being bullied by your team for being a girl, that's YOUR problem and YOUR insecurity. It isn't indicative of an issue with the community or the environment. You're just pathetic. I don't wish for more female representation in gaming, nor do I wish to see the competitive gaming world become swarmed with women. Trust me, every community or environment I've been in that was female-dominated has been the most unpleasant, unhappy, toxic place I've had to endure. So many of those women think they are the most important person in the world, and that everyone needs to cater to their needs. To all the females (looking at you, feminists) who think the gaming industry/community needs to be more inclusive, welcoming, and "safe" for women, respectfully F*CK OFF. Like seriously, if you feel so uncomfortable playing competitive games as a woman, maybe think about going away and doing something else. Because this hobby clearly isn't for you. Edit: To clarify, when I say "gender-based harassment," I'm talking about harassment that happens specifically due to your gender (which is very rare). Everyone gets harassed in gaming. That's not a gender issue. What I mean is that feminists will act like they're being targeted BECAUSE of their gender and not as just normal online shit talk.

[@heroesytumbas]

Irl, for women the difference between harassment and regular talk, banter and compliments is how rich or attractive they find the guy doing it. Since they can't see that in an online videogame, any comment becomes harassment to them.

[@dontwatchmydoomvideos]

The amount of verbal abuse I suffered in COD mw3 lobbies made me stronger. That’s how male spaces are, it’s harsh, rude and direct. Female spaces are also harsh and rude, but more indirect. Why does society try and constantly try to emasculate male spaces, but leave female spaces completely the fuck alone

I train brazilian Jiu jitsu, one of my favorite sayings from my coach (a black belt who has won multiple golds at IBJJF) is "as your coach, you need to be a video game and I have the controller.

I’m assuming the distinction between Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Japanese (or like chinese, im not exactly sure.) Jiu Jitsu is that one involves ancient traditions to learn how to fight and the other teaches you how to effectively hide and quick draw a .44 magnum revolver in your sleeve. With that said, where do I sign up?

What men and women alike don't realize is misinformation like this hurts both men and women -- achievement should be merit-based, full stop. I complained for years about not getting a fair shake at things because I bought into this feminist idea. No, it turns out, I just had to up my game in order to compete with others instead of acting like the victim all the time. If women think they are the victim, they will never try to get better at whatever field they are trying to get into. Once you see past that, you can improve yourself with the critical eye that will make you better, if you work on it.

[@Vladimyrful]

In their personal head-canon these "male dominated fields" are like, filled with anime villains, looking down on women and not letting them in. Whereas the reality is, these esports players are a bunch of nerds who would give their left arm for some girls to be there, playing with them. The reason they're not in the top (whatever) is they aren't playing as good. You can see some of what I'm talking about in several videos by some girl Pinda Panda, where she goes and uses pickup lines on dota players (none of which she'd fuck to save her life, of course) and they're supposed to react like cold anime sempai but it just comes across as very awkward.

[@randaru1527]

The story of VaeVictus, an all-female team that got into the major League of Legends tournament for no reason other than being born into the right gender, teaches us a valuable lesson. No amount of the most preferential treatment in recorded history of major E-sports events (for that time, at least), no amount of organizers handicapping your opponents and punishing them for bogus reasons, will prevent you from record-breaking ritualistic humiliation, no matter how privileged you are, if you simply aren't fit for the task. E-sports is still one of select few industries where merit rules above all, and until that drastically changes, players who put in time and effort will keep running circles around players who were handed everything on a silver platter.

One of the best things about gaming, is that there are tons of genres and different aspects of gaming within those genres - there’s really something for everyone. And if you’re not a competitive person (like myself) there are so many awesome games you can enjoy. Same with being a competitive person! It’s not super surprising to me, that across gender lines, less competitive games (think animal crossing) are popular among female players, whereas more competitive games would be more male dominated.

Who cares. I mute people that annoy me. 🤷🏾‍♀️ You know how many ppl had sex with my mom in MW 🙄 lol And honestly, if you suck online just practice and get good. It's not a gender thing.

[@katherine6326]

I'm a female gamer, and in my day-to-day life I have found my kind to be almost non-existent. Obviously if you hang out at game stores and conventions, you will get a selection bias and meet some girl gamers, but among the general populace I run into maybe one a year. Meanwhile, almost every male I meet who is under the age of 45 is a gamer. It's actually jarring just how big the difference is.

[@YourRaincloud]

Female here! This video about the gaming industry has a lot of parallels with the current tattoo industry. Especially here on the west coast of the US. There were probably 2 men with 15 females at the tattoo “school” I attended, and half of those women would loudly cry every day about how they’re so happy they are removing/replacing men from the industry and making it a “safe space” for everyone. I wanted to pull my hair out and I did everything I could to stay away from that raucous crowd. But these new types to the industry are obsessed with “women empowerment!” And “women deserve this industry more than men! The men in tattooing are so mean!” I’m seeing so many parallels here and frankly, I hate this.

I have never felt safe in woman dominated spaces. I've never been good at backhanded talk and all that bullshit. I grew up in a very rough way and have been homeless, I have a dark sense of humor and I feel for boys who think all girls are toxic because girls I have relied on in the past have done some of the most evil shit to me. I'll add here that I am a girl and this is still the case but I really wish gender was irrelevant to everything. But girls who rag on all men universally and think women's spaces are 100% better all the time are 200% toxic always.
