I think I'm going to white knight a bit actually.

Go for it!

I think some of the posts in this thread have been ridiculously sexist tbh.

I think you're totally right.

Honestly when I was younger and to a degree now I wouldn't really trust a female to be good at the game. On average I think male gamers tend to be more hardcore for whatever reason. So I suppose a female has to "prove herself" to me so to speak.

Wait, what was that about white-knighting and not being sexist? Cause this is pretty fucking sexist.

I believe in this thread there were actually some great posts by females that made me respect them quite a bit with how they presented their viewpoints.

So you're a chauvinist, too?

there is some sexism, some deserved, some undeserved.

What, exactly, the fuck is "deserved sexism"?

If this was reversed for whatever reason and a female said in a one line post "all men are sex hungry pigs" it would be pretty offensive.

Is that deserved sexism? Or are you just achieving perfect empathy with all the ladies you slighted by stating that women have to "prove themselves" to be decent at a game?

Some of the things people have said in this thread have been way over the top and someone should call them out

I thought so, too - thus my post.
