Hey, look, I found one of those posts where it OK to be sexist.
Edit: Saying “Hey, look, I found one of those posts where it OK to be sexist,” in a room full of virtue signallers just to feel something.
le edit, the second: I guess based on the downvotes in the thread Lemmy.ml is refederated.
screenshot OP: “lol don’t Gamers get so heated when you talk about difficulty modes is soulslikes”
the Gamer in question: “I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE SEXIST FOR THIS!!!”
also i don’t think you know what virtue signaling means
…in a comment section where the OP’s gender hasn’t even been mentioned?
Or is it this old meme?
The “OP”, if you are referring to the screenshot, is presenting feminine, and talks about walking into a room full of men and doing something that they believe intentionally trolls men.
I think you missed the point. Many games have toxic communities that attack women and tell them they’re no good enough, along with much more unsavoury shit. Playing into that, you can get a very aggressive response and “feel something”. It’s less about trolling men and more the attacks many women get from elitist male gamers.
Do you think women aren’t allowed to talk about sexist gaming communities?
Technically you re right that’s sexist (if you gender swap the post that’s weird) but in reality I didn’t even noticed it and probably don’t care
remember, as a man on the internet you’re not allowed to have opinions on something, even if they’re formed by your own experiences and you clarify them as such. your opinions exist to be mocked and ridiculed for sport.
oh, but it’s also a real mystery why far right incel groups have seen a massive upsurge in membership, no way to logically connect the two.
