@Daojoan Eh, i'd say that's true across the gender board. Did they get a baseline for comparison by seeing how female gamers reacted to other female gamers of different skill levels? I'll bet a similar action is at work that crosses genderlines, though it may express somewhat differently. Woman can be just as vicious at undercutting another female they're jealous of.

@Beggarmidas @Daojoan female gamers usually aid lower skill females in games...

In games like back 4 blood the female groups i play in are more supportive then in make dominated groups

@Chesi @Daojoan Again, I dunno. Seen it go all sorts of ways. Not that I stay on top of that sort of thing, but it's hard to miss things like the sssniperwolf meltdown. To me on the internet everyone is just kinda a hazy blob of nondescript identity. A vague outline that really doesn't reveal much about whomever's driving it. They could be 14 year old girl pretending to be a 70 year old guy. Or vise versa. Or neither. Don't see much point or value into reading too far into it.

@Beggarmidas @Daojoan "I bet women do it to" is so unhelpful in this discussion lol. The post is about men being misogynistic to women because they are disrupting the patriarchal space they exist in. Women being mean to other women has nothing to do with what they are saying.

It's not about jealousy, it's about these men not thinking the women deserves to be in this space, and they are so insecure in their masculinity that a women doing better than them threatens it.

Being in the gaming space for my whole life, These are things that I have seen happened first hand. This is not a simple instance of jealousy. And don't take it from me, look at the lived experiences of the other women in this thread posting... Its pretty obvious lol

@Beggarmidas @Daojoan I don’t know but since I don’t see women complaining about this I’m gonna go ahead and assume this isn’t a problem.

But I find it interesting that the only time men seem to care about women being victimized is when men are trying to deflect blame.
