Sarcasm aside, this is actually what the article is literally suggesting:
> The results also suggest that video games may be reinforcing gender segregation and potentially promoting sexist behaviours, especially troubling since so many "gamers" are teenagers.
- pyre 11y agoWhy did you feel the need to reiterate the exact quote that the grandparent post quoted?
- Zikes 11y agoFor the same reason the grandparent post reiterated it: the readers downvoting the parent post seem to have missed it.
- bradjohnson 11y agoI got knee jerk downvoted for that so hard I have whiplash. I rtfa, it ignores anything else and pretends gamers exist in a vacuum.
- Zikes 11y agoIt's also much too narrowly scoped. Even if it were a random sampling across a variety of XBox Live games, it would still only be representative of XBox Live gamers, which is its own demographic.
- corysama 11y agoThe HN crowd tries to discourage sarcasm. It doesn't matter if you are correct if you are sarcastic about it. If you had started your comment with something like "The article implies" instead of "Haven't you heard?" you probably would have been upvoted.
