| > I don't really have the time to be competitively good at any of these games, and the community kinda sucks unless you are competitively good so it's kinda like what's the point? You could play with people on your own level? > At least with rec sports the community is generally nice even if you're terrible (probably because you're in-person). Really? Try playing pick-up basketball games if you are terrible. Even with rec sports, people play at their own level. > Anyway, my point being that I wouldn't be shocked to learn that women (and likely people of color) feel the same way - once you're not really part of that core group of young white men Young white men? Why are you being racist and sexist by targeting one group? People don't play online games or recreational sports for "community". Seems like you are lonely and trying to make friends in the wrong places. I play sports because it's fun and good exercise. I play video games because it's fun and mentally challenging. I don't play sports or video games for community. > competitive games start feeling really unappealing unless you're just really into the game itself. Then don't play it. Go play something else? Why are you complaining about it? Maybe women on average don't like competitive games for the same reason women don't like other competitive sports like basketball, baseball, etc? Maybe, men and women are on average different and have different interests. Maybe that's why advertisers go about targeting men and women different? Maybe that's why movies, music, etc are differently geared towards men and women? Or, maybe you could push your racist and sexist rhetoric and blame young white men? |
