    I consider it pretty "toxic" to lie about figures over and over again, purposely skewing the definition of the term "gamer" until it literally means your grandma playing snake on her mobile. Oh and then implying she isn't playing CS:GO due to ppl being mean.pic.twitter.com/MXjYXfu1X3

        If the mainstream media are willing to brazenly lie about and misrepresent even basic information like this what do you imagine is their M.O. when they write on other topics?

        It’s like saying someone is an avid reader because they peruse the back of the shampoo bottle when they’re taking a shit

        and then suggesting that Dostoevsky must be too offensive since so few people who read said shampoo bottle went on to read Crime and Punishment.

        just curious here thorin - when are you a gamer? is it amount of hours playing a day? is it the genre of game? are you a gamer if you play physical card games? if not, are you a gamer if you play the same card game, but digitally? thinking of hearthstone and magic the gathering.

        The context of that article is quite clearly and explicitly the logic that if X% of gamers are women but so few women are playing esports games then it is due to sexism or "toxicity". Your semantics discussion is of no relevance to that context.

        totally agree with the weird logic of the article, it's not a clear representation - but I was actually just curious about your thoughts about the labelling as "gamer". especially in card game aspects

        Not Thorin. but I have thought about this question a lot. You are absolutely right, the label of gamer is completely arbitrary. However if you intend to use it I insist your definition is consistent throughout when using it. And that is what the article fails.

        This is why no one trusts the mainstream media.

        I despise the people that write these types of articles. And it's usually using overwatch as an example.

        Its like they think all boys love each other while gaming, and is only toxic towards girls.

        Them and NowThis make the most inaccurate videos. They are strictly to get liberals pissed off, but they're not exactly based on facts.
