Because, for a likely variety of reasons, it doesn't appeal to the typical female gamer.

Which according to my earlier posts, is typical male-group behavior and in my opinion the main reason women keep their distance.
although its flattering to women to be fought over, men usually tend to take it too far and make things personal, thus forgetting what it was they fought about in the first place. women react to this typical male behaviour with an audible "MEH" and exit the scene alone, or with the guy smart enough to abstain from all the pointless bickering.
Its not a mystery why women dont take well to eve, when we cannot help ourselves to mitigate the urge to pointlessly compete, even in this very thread.
I found your problem, and isn't that men exist.

I've noticed that it's mutual. I mean, besides my sainted mother and my wonderful wife, I have only rarely met a woman who doesn't actively deride most forms of male entertainment, from sports to games and everything in between.
But then, my mother is a librarian and I married a Cheesehead, so perhaps I'm just lucky.

What in the actual ****. If that's the type of thing girls are being fed these days, they can stay the hell out of my video game. That made me LOL. I don't care for Taylor Swift. It says a lot when a woman as pretty as she is can't manage to keep a guy... or the whole of her musical career is based on her failed relationships. Definitely not a role model for any girl with half a brain.
I once told a co-worker that, if I were ever to date her, I would dump her as brutally as possible, just to get a song written about me.

Notice the typical pattern of the serial liar.
When confronted, escalate to an extreme degree, and hope that it's so extreme that no one will call bullshit on the story. Bonus points if the excalation improves the liar's claim to victimhood.

Oh, that's not even anything all that bad. Hell, I've gotten worse just for wearing an Army uniform in some places.
That said, if you wanted an example of an escalation style lie, that isn't the best. That particular tale of mine is relatively simple, and while it might engender sympathy, is told to explain my present point of view towards carebears, not merely to throw out a "me too!" story in a thread about digital minority groups.

That's quite the large assumption. Uh-oh...a big woman joke. Why do people assume any woman who games has to be 250 lbs and ugly? lol
Because I used to go to cons, so that isn't an assumption. It's the general rule, although I freely agree that there are always exceptions.

I did take another look at it, since that's only fair.
And my conclusion is that you are an anti-masculine bigot.
Oh, and that you suck at selective quoting. Your own source literally contradicts you.

Because what better way to endorse equality than by demonstrating a philosophy dedicated to the eradication of an entire gender identity?
I'm honestly guessing, because I'll never be capable of, nor willing to actually understand evil like they ascribe to.

I did answer you. I called you a bigot based on the post I linked, which is full of self contradictions, biased reasoning and faulty conclusions, all to serve solely to advance your narrative.
Quote: I'll repeat that I in no way said that men can't suffer from prejudice. It's just not called "sexism", in the conventional sense of the term
Yes, it is. By the very definition you linked. You are not entitled to redefine the entire English language to suit your vile agenda. Unless that is you're admitting that feminism does not view males as people.

You literally are. You've also admitted that you don't consider men to be people, or actions against them to be morally wrong. Which is disgusting enough in and of itself, nevermind the rest of what you're saying.

If you're not trolling, and honestly even if you are, this sentence firmly establishes you as a despicable human being.
Slightly more than a million men per year are victims of domestic violence, compared to the ~ 1.3 million of women. (stats from the FBI's early 2000s study) And people like you whitewashing it away to serve your bigoted agenda just makes it worse. And hells freaking bells, up until recently, it was legally impossible to actually **** a man for crying out loud, that's how deep the systemic pro-female bias is in the United States.

No, Remiel, I'd have to say that "men aren't sexually/domestically assaulted" is how you turn people into attack mode. The person you quoted is merely an example of that.

Notice how it tries to save face, by not admitting that any of it's deliberate falsehoods are wrong. It's just apologizing for the fact that we disagree with anything it says.
What self indulgent tripe.
