    The biggest issue when it comes to men's mental health in the gaming industry, is any and all sexism being exclusively associated with women. Male characters are objectively speaking just as sexualized as female characters, but male characters bodies and sexuality aren't exclusively celebrated like female characters are. When it comes reducing a character down to their genitals; it's exclusive to men. Female characters aren't belittled based on their genitals or body, where as male characters are.
    Homophobic jokes are exclusively made towards male characters. And it's clearly doing damage to the industry, as you have journalists like EuroGamers Aoife Wilson making homophobic and misandrist jokes and no one bats an eye. The gaming industry still has a huge problem with homophobia towards men.
    Then there's the violence, where there are countless games where the player is exclusively forced to both kill men, and torture men in order to complete the game. This simply isn't a thing when it comes to female characters.
    It's always been dissapointing to see characters like Lara Croft having way better writing and character development than any male character.
    There is a massive privilege gap between how men and women are treated in the gaming industry. Everything that is implied to be misogyny in the gaming industry happens to men just as much, but women don't have to deal with disposable female characters.
    Then there's the sexists who claim to care about sexism in the gaming industry, and they are both misogynist and misandrist. People who I'd rather not name, getting praise and worship for their hateful, sexist, and anti-sexuality, video game takes that seem to go out of their way to exclude men, despite the fact that men objectively speaking experience far more sexism in the gaming industry.
    I just watched a reunion episode of G4, after watching a whole bunch of re-runs of x-play. During the reunion Morgan Webb talks about how she cares so much about sexism women experience, and yet she is the only one out of the reunion group that made countless homophobic jokes during x-play. I wonder if she actually cares in the first place? I don't understand how someone can pick and choose which social issues they support and which they don't care at all about.

      The biggest hurdle to men's mental health is people like you who make everything a competition with women. You're so horny to prove that you have it just as bad if not worse than women which is why you say asinine things like "Male characters are objectively speaking just as sexualized as female characters" . If you actually cared about men's mental health you wouldn't turn everything into a silly competition.

      @@garuna5688 Well done, for being the first toxic commentor here. It's not about competition, if that seriously what you got from what was said then halt your knee jerk reactionist drivel and try for once to understand what is being said.
      A part of ones mental well being is often to do with how you're treated compared to others or at least the perception of it. There are doublestandards, they are treated differently despite facing some of the same issues. Issues that are very often covered which are shown said to have an impact. But when someone points out the same applies to the other gender, all of a sudden, it doesn't count and they're trying to make it a competition? Bullshit. YOU are part of the problem, not OP.

      @CondorCalabasas 3 года назад +2

      @@DousedInPiss That was very nice of you to say thank you.
      It most certainly isn't a competition, nor was I trying to make it seem that way. I also didn't want to suggest or imply that women have things easy, or that they don't experience sexism. I've witnessed misogyny directed at women myself.
      The last thing I want is for of anything this to feel like, or be interpreted as an attack on women. I believe the best way to tackle all these issues is women and men coming together. I would've be disappointed if they hadn't included a woman on the panel because women need to feel like they can have a voice on men's issues too. In my opinion anyways.
      I apologize if anyone interpreted what I said as anti-women, or as a competition as that wasn't my intent.
      I appreciate you sticking up for a stranger on the Internet. Thanks again, you are very kind.
