Uh, no one is? The article is very clear about who the problem is.

Yes. It's also wrong. The article itself is the problem, and so are you.

  I'd love to hear your reasoning.

    It's unsubstantiated, unreasoned, unjustifiable hate speech. And you're perpetrating the exact same kind of hate with shameless lies and more hate speech. This shit has no place on this site. Get out.

      I think you should look up the definition of hate speech.

        You need to stop using hate speech.

"The gaming world is a cesspit of maladjusted, comically aggressive, emotionally (and maybe actually) adolescent males who have a deep fear and distrust of women. The problematic gamers are, naturally, almost exclusively male – and no doubt skew towards the young side. No-one’s surprised by that. I’m not surprised." We have such members. We expect them to abide by our clearly written community standards. We are gamers. They are gamers. We act as a community, which involves not leaving everyone to fend for themselves as an individual. "The gaming world is a cesspit of maladjusted, comically aggressive, emotionally (and maybe actually) adolescent males" Sure, the preceding paragraph makes a pass at placing this in context, but this is clearly baiting language. And the problem is apparently so bad that OP doesn't want to even be called a gamer, lest he be lumped in with this cesspit. Again. For the record. I am a gamer. I'm a lot of other things, too. But I'm a gamer, and so are my slightly maladjusted male and female compatriot guildmates. The biggest problem I see here is parents letting children play M-rated games. Anecdotally, and with no facts whatsoever to support my theory, I believe this would remove 90% of the problem.

  Judging by the comments in this thread, it's not a problem with parents letting children play video games. It's a very real problem with adult men.
