What's that compared to the percentage of women who generally feel suicidal any way?

Right, like are they saying you're more resilient if you play games? I'd think average suicidality was probably 1 in 3 or 1 in 5.

Imagine being so mentally fragile that getting shit-talk from some barely pubscent little squeaker leaves you wanting to neck yourself :D.

Yeah, that's quite pathetic and sad, really.

This is what being coddled too much in your childhood results in.

That's pretty good overall. 99.9% of males have faces abuse in online games. 99.8% probably have had death threats.

Personally, I had someone tell me they had my IP and were going to track me down and gut my whole family infront of me before killing me. He also said he would cut off my eye lids so I would have to watch! God I miss COD 2 on the 360... Good times!

Yeah, probably everyone who plays online games has had some kind of death threat or verbal abuse, but I doubt 1/10 males feel suicidal about this

Online abuse is pretty easy to deal with by just logging off or blocking the person. I can't imagine getting suicidal over it.

Fucking seriously? How fucking mentally weak they are? Imagine wanting to suicide cuz of some dumbass CHILDREN yelling slurs at you, lmao 🤡

Is it because they are female or because they suck?

[–]Airbus320 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Think both

The truth is, the only reason a female would ever play a videogame is because she can't get real life friends.

Gaming is mostly males so when a female enter in the MALE GENDERED SPACE she isn't welcomed.

It doesn't help that the only famous females are the big booba streamers that don't know how to play games so the males see the concept of a "gamer girl" as nothing more than a fetish. Was it the patriarchy fault or did the women do this themselves?

The toxicity is only the final straw, not the cause.

Women can’t just like do their own thing. That have to go do something men are doing, ruin it, and then on to the next thing to ruin.

Yes, remember boy scouts, now known as scouts. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/02/607678097/boy-scouts-changing-name-to-scouts-bsa-as-girls-welcomed-into-program

That’s children. Girl Scouts sucks, really really bad. Boy Scouts was amazing.

I don’t think girls should have invaded Boy Scouts. But the Girl Scouts should get rid of cookies, and steal the Boy Scouts curriculum whole sale.

Girl Scouts sucks, really really bad.

So make girl scouts better? If u want to do boy scout stuff with girls just do it. There is nothing stopping girls. Or join American Heritage girls. Literally boy scouts for girls. When my son did scouts, AHG did the same shit. https://americanheritagegirls.org/about-ahg/
