Just put him in a corner and let him have his tantrum. Girls that play fighting games are just as cool as guys that play fighting games. Trash talk in fighting games is a last resort for those who aren't comfortable playing the game.<\/p><\/blockquote>He insults men just as much as girls.. just no one gives a shit about that. People have to white knight girls, which is sexist itself, because it's implying that women can't handle trash talk, which apparently this one couldn't. Pretty fucking ironic that you proceed to call this guy a \"homo virgin\" who can't get girls because he is fat, as if that is somehow any less sexist than anything he has ever said. it is in fact more sexist, because his \"sexism\" was merely gendered insults like \"bitch\".<\/p><\/blockquote>The difference to me, is that usually men are insulted for not being \"man\" enough, i.e. being like a woman. And a woman is insulted for....being a woman. That's why it can really hurt sometimes. That my membership in the other 50% of the population can be used as an \"insult\" against me, a \"weakness,\" you can't really dismiss someone's worth at a more basic level.<\/p><\/blockquote>I don't really have anything to add to this issue except for the fact that I can feel the my blood pressure spike up everytime I hear the term 'white knighting.' Because apparently guys are only offended by sexism because they want to get laid.<\/p>And not, you know, because they've had something bad happen to someone they care about like their mom or someone similar who was victimized for being a woman. Or a friend who was bullied for being a 'bitch' or 'slut' and ended up doing something to hurt themselves out of shame or sadness.<\/p>Shit like racism or sexism shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, male or female.<\/p><\/blockquote>Except it's not sexism. Trash talking a girl is not fucking sexism. It is not sexism any more than trash talking a guy is. You know what's sexism? not allowing women to vote. Not letting them advance in their career.<\/p>You know what's not sexism? Trash talking women in a video game with a culture and group based around trash talk. The fact that no one cared when he did this to men, makes this white knighting. The fact that people think women are such fragile, inferior creatures that they need to be defended but men don't makes this white knighting.<\/p><\/blockquote>The idea that no one cared is a complete blanket statement. No one should be bullied for what they are. I would've been just as mad (if probably more for personal reasons) if he had been bullying an individual for being a 'faggot.'<\/p>People do care about these things. They just choose to try to ignore them because what can you do? Like you said, its part of the culture. No one wants to be that one voice to point out 'hey, this is kinda fucked up' and then get shouted down because people don't want to change what they've always been even if their attitude and beliefs is completely abhorrent.<\/p><\/blockquote>Is it completely unfathomable to you that some people actually enjoy being offensive? Mutual trash talk is also not \"bullying\". Saying such is insulting to actual bullying.<\/p><\/article>12 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>TadThuggish<\/a><\/svg><\/i> Follow\n <\/a><\/div><\/header>1073<\/p>Forum Posts<\/p><\/div>334<\/p>Wiki Points<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Followers<\/p><\/div><\/section>Reviews:<\/span> 2<\/p>User Lists:<\/span> 41<\/p><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n Edited By TadThuggish<\/a><\/div><\/div>Sounds perfect for a community that prides itself on alienation and self-destruction, as witnessed every time Giant Bomb does a fighting game quick look.
