This is a thread that I found on the ZDoom forums that has to with girls being in gaming communities and the issue that Csonicgo has with that for some reason. I was debating to read the whole thread or just create a topic on here just to share this thread with you guys. One guy was banned because of how he disagreed with them because it wasn't in a pleasant tone. So far I've only read parts of this thread but, I'm sure there more gems as far as cringe worth stuff in concerned. Also part of the original thread was split because of the further drama.
Notice how he contracts himself in that paragraph because he complains about gaming communities being infested with teenagers when he's part of the problem.
Then there's guys like this:
I find myself empathizing with your struggles, as I too have been the butt of the joke in a highly toxic community. (Not this one, of course.) I wish you well on your pursuits, and hope that you stand strong against those trying to tear you down.

Given what I've seen of the Doom community for over 16 years, and pretty much any gaming community that was infested with teenagers, I can say this about all of them at least some point in time: In any game community where the game is seen by most in the community as "manly", even if it originally wasn't meant to be, you can bet your bottom dollar that a group of immature dudes will try to exploit that, and go as far as to turn the community against each other in their zeal to turn the place into a He-Man Womanhaters' Club - usually in response to something they deserved, like being banned (for obvious reasons) in multiplayer ports/servers/forums. If said admin doing the banning is female, well, get ready to taste the impotent hellfire of a bunch of dumb kids.Notice how he contracts himself in that paragraph because he complains about gaming communities being infested with teenagers when he's part of the problem.

I may be a heavily-bearded male, and a fan of the gory, testosterone-filled game that is Doom, but I am definitely not a fan of masculinity. It breeds a lot of anger, ignorance and irrationality, and as an individual who loves the scientific method (albeit maybe a slightly bastardized version,) I cannot condone it. I try to treat everyone with as much respect and compassion as humanly possible... And no, it's not because I want to get in bed with anyone. I just want to be a decent goddamn human being.I find myself empathizing with your struggles, as I too have been the butt of the joke in a highly toxic community. (Not this one, of course.)
