You’ve probably already seen Jay Smooth talking about sexism in the gamer community, but here it is again.

“A lot of these dudes, if you challenge them, will tell you that they don’t have any real feelings about this, and they’re just trolling for the fun of it. That they don’t really hate women, they just think it’s funny to treat women as if they hate them. That- I mean, first of all, you’re lying to yourself, there’s clearly more to it than that. Second of all, that doesn’t make it any better! Only someone who hates women and sees them as less than human would even think that’s a meaningful distinction.”
