I couldn't believe that someone would reply to my stupid comment with that many words so I didn't read it.

You saw something about women and video games that you could not tolerate, so you constructed a chain of "logic" that:

  • gatekept gaming and gaming culture
  • tried to remove gender from the equation
  • shifted the blame away from something you like (gaming culture)
  • shifted the blame onto something you don't like (mobile games)
  • displayed your ignorance about mobile gaming

You're so smart to realize that this is a simple phenomenon with a neat, tidy, and convenient explanation that doesn't offend any gamers who don't like women.

Typical Reddit playbook. I wish your comment was AI.

You didn't read it. A couple of sentences. Wow. I wrote it for a reason.

Then you made up a bunch of things to claim I was doing, for who knows why.

So, ok you don't read, you have some weird agenda to have a gotcha moment, you completely dont get why there is a huge difference in the psychology of mobile games then other games, and have no intellectual interest in understanding any of this.

Like you said it was a stupid comment, I guess. I was only hoping to address why that article could have had a lot more to say, and ended up missing the mark.

displayed your ignorance about mobile gaming

Ok enlighten me. I asked a couple of women to read what you wrote, and they find it funny, and disapointing. "what the fuck is he going on about"!

I don't think you know what research means.

You are aggressively trying to project.
