Reaxxion’s goalOur goal is simple: create a safe space for heterosexual males who play video games. We won’t exclude homosexuals or attractive women from commenting on our articles, and we sincerely hope they find value in what we have to say, but understand that this site will be written by male gamers for male gamers.
so... gay men aren't male gamers?

And as an ugly woman, not only am I not a gamer but my opinions are of no interest to gamers at all! Surprise.
"Duh women can't understand the oppression of gamers because they don't know what it's like to be spat at for being geeky and weird and having 0 dates and going home and playing video games instead of partying and never being listened to because women are always listened to and it's so unfair""oh hi, I am a woman and a nerd and I play(ed) video games and dreamed of writing my own, that is my teenage life you just described""please, you are too ugly to talk to and even though you are totally nerdy right down to that indefinable weirdo bully-magnet vibe as soon as you enter the room, you are clearly just pretending to be a nerd for attention, which you do not deserve, because you are ugly. not listening to you"
PS do gamers actually do well in "academic settings"? I mean staying up all night to play Civ 2 and IRC throughout my time at university may not be the only reason I don't have a degree but it's certainly a factor

Real conflation of "gamers" and "nerds" on that one I think. Also as GamerGate has demonstrated, when people with academic backgrounds (or at least in the humanities) show up and want to talk about games, this is seen as a crisis of gaming, I feel it was unethical for the chart to have omitted this

Great art asks questions. It is provocative, and it empowers. That's what immersive games such as Call of Duty provide for players. Feminised, infantilised, social justice-oriented art sets aside creativity in favour of politics, wallowing in faux victimhood, robbing players of agency and individualism in favour of identity politics and meditations on 'oppression.'

You can regularly hear even mainstream journalists talking about "killing all men"

yeah there are too many meaningless generalizations but most of the young people i know who wd identify themselves as gamers are not academic high-flyers, to draw any connection between video games and academic ability in 2014 is patently fucken ridiculous

(Changed "flee their homes" to "leave their homes." "Flee" is a highly emotive term implying a real and present threat to their safety.)
yeah just some women leaving their homes after being instructed to by the police, no biggie, prob had to go to the store or something.
