@imsh_pl: well now you do. There's no room in a conversation about sexism in video games for men claiming they are discriminated against because it's simply not true

What, calling out gamers for being the winy, insufferable, entitled children that they are?

The comments of this (fantastic) article are evidence as to why they shouldn't be treated with respect - like the medium, it's fans are still in a juvenile stage and it'll be some time before the medium and it's fans can be considered "Adult".

WHY

Here is my idea for the ubisoft press conference banner.
It's not very clear, because I got my inspiration from the diversity of ubisoft's games (White on white)

I'll sum up this thread, so people can stop replying

GamerDude posts : "Look! Flimsy "evidence" that games don't cause sexism!"
Reasonable people: "Uh. Cool?"
Internet Male: "Anita Sarkeesian blahblahblah what about the men, feminism sucks, brb just reading reddit"

Mods: "Seeya later thread!"

Fun fact: The people most likely to complain about Anita's videos are people who haven't bothered to watch them and just parrot bullshit thunderf00t or totalbiscuit says

Wow, someone misrepresenting Anita. What a huge fucking shock:

"Sexual and domestic violence is at epidemic levels in the real world; one out of every five women in the United States will be raped in their lifetimes. One in four will be sexually assaulted. And women involved in prostitution are at a much higher risk of violence because they are seen as vessels to be used by others rather than as fully human.

So when games casually use sexualized violence as a ham-fisted form of character development for the “bad guys” it reinforces a popular misconception about gendered violence by framing it as something abnormal, as a cruelty only committed by the most transparently evil strangers. In reality, however, violence against women, and sexual violence in particular, is a common everyday occurrence often perpetrated by “normal men” known and trusted by those targeted."
