normalized for those entering the community as well. When new gamers see that calling a woman a cunt or taunting a man for being beaten by a woman is frowned upon, they are more likely to learn not to do it. It's a change that will take time, but it's one that I and others believe is worth working toward. 26 comments: Of all the places I expected to see sexism discussion... well, let's just say I didn't expect it to be here! Either way, I'm really glad that this post has made its way to the site (and my view). Reading about sexism in games is often difficult for me, as I have experienced it myself as have many of my friends, but I'm compelled to hear more all the same. One reason I am such a fan of this post is because it gives hard statistical, indisputable facts. Whenever someone writes a "personal" opinion piece about sexism there's always comments about how it's just them or something. This shows everyone that there are certain trends in our community and sexism is definitely one of them. I also appreciate you speaking about men being harassed mostly due to not living up to some sort of "male ideal". This is incredibly true and easy to see if you listen in on multiplayer games. Thanks again for your post! I've tweeted it and hope all my friends see. Thank you for publishing this study and calling for gamers to de-normalize sexism.
