I send unsolicited dick pics to both men and women. Sex has nothing to do with it

Yeah it feels like it’s been going on for ages. Ever since my high school days with Xbox Live. The industry had to become a multi billion dollar industry before anyone noticed. The tech industry had to grow too. YouTube was just starting out, so companies didn’t have this large internet presence beyond their webpage.
I feel like I’ve been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I don’t do anything that uses a mic with video games. I use to see people with the word “rape” in their gamer tag.

Thanks now I will try extra hard to be toxic towards women online to counter this movement.
I will start with my girlfriend. Next time she loads up CS or Hogwarts I will tell her she's shit and makes for a terrible wizard as well. Fuckin heretical cunt!

They don't like the Internet destroy their fake narrative video with facts and logic.
Bully Hunters was a shining example of that.

Anyone can be harrassed online but let's not pretend it's all the same cause it's not. I've never been insulted for being a guy yet have routinely seen woman getting shit just for that fact. It's straight up disgusting behavior that shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

Shitty campaigned designed for people who have never played anything with open voice chat
They could have at least focused on how women tend to get more sexist abuse while men just get random insults in general. But this whole thing about pretending that only women get abuse online is really disingenuous

Really? You've never been called a virgin living at your mom's basement? You've never been called a pussy? Insults that target someone's manhood are the most popular.
Men face far more abuse and harassment including abuse and slander from the mainstream media. We just get on with it.
Stop simping.

Oh come on, everyone gets insulted, I've already said as much. Some of the stuff you're saying is just general insults thrown out at everyone, it has nothing to do with targeting someone's manhood ffs.
Women get constant shit for having the audacity for just playing, for being presumed to be an awful player because of gender, for constant sexual harrasment, stalking, etc. It's a huge problem when people are afraid to even speak because of how they'll be treated.
"Bu...bu...but I get insulted too" doesn't make your harrasment on an equal level or fucking acceptable to them. The whole point isn't just the toxic behavior online brings but the extra layer of shit that certain groups get on top of that. It's not acceptable to anyone nor is it a zero sum game some seems to feel.

Yeah yeah sure telling a man how they are a pussy or how they got a small dick which one of the most common insults online is not targetting his manhood
You got triggered when you realised how normalised insulting men is which makes your take extremely dumb.
Every gaming community I've ever been in has special rules to protect "gurl gamerz" and an army of simps like yourself pampering them and ready to jump to their defence.
The fact is women enjoy protected status and privileges everywhere including online and the last thing they need is trash campaigns like this maybelline one to further boost their ego and perpetual victimhood status.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I miss the times when not everyone was a goddman pussy. Like dude if you feeling harassed just walk away, or even better, grow a pair and tell whoever is harassing you to shut the fuck up.

I will add this as it goes back to early World of Warcraft days and even today when my wife and I play online games together she gets way more harassment than I do when we use voiceYeah yeah sure telling a man how they are a pussy or how they got a small dick which one of the most common insults online is not targetting his manhood

Just the fact of when guys hear a females voice its like its the first womans voice they have ever heard outside of their moms
And not talking about the preteens I am talking full grown men
And yes I have heard it all but I can play Hell Let Loose often and for the most part the people in that community are pretty talkative and helpful but anytime my wife plays and her voice goes out over proximity chat so many guys are drawn to it like a moth to a light and are almost always rude

The only one triggered here is you with your clearly delusional take on women. Anyone, ANYONE, who has participated in any online interaction is laughing at the thought of that of you being treated worse as a dude gamer. It's nonsense that has no bearing in reality at all.

I agree with you women get way more attention online and the reasons behind it are very complex.
Especially when you talk about early World of Warcraft days when gaming was far less mainstream.
Did you ever stop and think that your wife was invading these nerdy guys' safespaces and they didn't know how to react to that? Hostility was a natural response.
I can guarantee you if a straight guy tried to invade a girls hobby he would get called a creep and get all sorts of abuse and because he is a guy no one would come at his defence.
Like I said things are way more complex than the "much misogyny" articles you get on mainstream media.

I'm retarded?
Comments and dislike disabled. Fake game and fake gamers. Dude goes: "i never had people leave in online matches with me". Literally every human on this planet has experienced that. What the fuck is this trash? Stop making topics about these fucking idiots.

A few things to note here. Pretty sure the Asian chick is trans. So the video already gives me second hand.
Second, what the fuck do they expect people to act like? Online games have been like this for 20+ years at this point and they'll never change. And like others have said people online don't just make fun of women.
You can very easily get bullied on popular multiplayer games such as CoD simply for speaking, you don't even have to be hostile. I'm 27 years old and still get comments from people about my voice because it's higher pitched than some people my age. I don't cry about it though.
I grew up playing MW2 which was the most offensive voice chat environment that has ever existed. I'm unfazed by this sort of thing because of it. You either learn how to shit talk back or hit the mute button, it's really not that hard.
If you complain about things like this instead of just hitting the mute button you may actually be retarded.

I agree. The max implantation of party chat along with discord has been the ruination of multiplayer gaming. Shit talking was half of the excitement.

Well, we all know why companies do that, the thing is that it's not a women problem, it's an everyone problem, maybe more women take it more personally considering they tend to care more about and be more affected by groups opinions, but even men tend to shut down voice chats these days... I do that and 100% I don't care about insults, it's just distracting listening to unknown people talking non-stop.
Laugh all you want about this, but that's more or less how I've dealt with it before and they just moved on to target someone else lol.

I remember playing TMNT The Arcade Game on the 360 a long time ago. I remember I was in a party with 3 people and we finished stage 3 and we all were trying to figure out which turtle would get the kiss from April. I was the turtle that got it and said, "Yea...this turtle getting some pussy now ." and we all cracked up. I miss those days. I don't miss the shitty racist remarks but I missed the chatting and communication from that era. It was truly a different time back then.
