One of the biggest problems that these people have is their complete self-absorption leading to an inability to understand not everyone thinks the same way they do. Most of us can differentiate between real life and video games/movies, but they can not. The truth is that they are toxic, so they believe they're "the good guys" bc everything they do revolves around fighting their own toxicity (supposedly), never once stopping to consider that the rest of us aren't the pieces of s**t that they are at their core. All it equates to is them creating justifications to continue being toxic people and convincing themselves that their toxic behavior is actually something good for everyone.
@@wj00312 what constitutes an attractive female figure are the assets developed through puberty: breasts and butt mostly as well as a feminine facial features. The journos and DEI consultants all like a figure without any of those assets that resembles a pre-pubescent child more than anything... yet another evidence they're all groomers in media and entertainment industry and are trying to normalise their perversion.

Funny thing is they tried to claim that the devs never saw a woman in their lives but failed to realized that the creative director’s wife created the design of Eve and Eve herself is modeled after an actual model. That’s why you never need to listen to crybabies but always call them out.
Oh they knew, they even mentioned how it was modeled after a real woman even named her, but that wont stop them from spewing hatred just for the sake of it. Thats how they have managed to bash most western developers to conform with their "standards", and the sad thing is that its never enough, so even if the game is woke as hell they will still find a reason to complain.

As I commented on the G&G video: "I live in scandinavia, when the SB demo dropped I went to the IGN website (for the first time in my life, I think). On "IGN Nordic" there was a review from IGN Japan, a very positive review! IGNs excuse is that they have no editorial control over IGN France (I guess that goes for IGN Japan also). What kind of a clusterduck is this website?" Keep up the good work, I really like your well thought out, and in this time and age, "long" videos. Your editorials (videos) are interesting, and in a slow pace, because you don't try to cram in 900 words pr. minute. Never change.
The whole "this will inspire real women to self harm because they can't live up to this body image" reminds me of that old meme talking about the unrealistic expectations of Barbie's figure, next to a picture of He-Man. It's perfectly fine to have every Chris in the MCU take off their shirts to show off muscles that literally require incredibly dangerous workout routines and dehydration to accomplish at a risk to their health, but don't you dare have a pretty female in a game!

I stand by this, I too will pre-order, purchase, and promote games who push back against the woke mob who never loved, or were part of the industry until recently. They took over social media, the film industry, the news, schools, social gatherings, comic books, novels, and everything else under the sun. Enough is enough.
The funny thing is to assume toxicity only comes from the chat. Especially in a game like Helldivers 2 where you can grift to your heart's content thanks to friendly fire being enabled.
Replayed the Stellar Blade demo and I really liked it. Finished it on Story Mode and now Normal Mode. I am glad devs like Helldivers and Shift Up aren't bending the knee to these idiots.
@@scoso.88they won't. The support to stay anti-woke is far larger then the support to go woke. There's probably a few hundred thousand woke gamers but there's millions of us based ass gamers
Funny how everyone's ok with huge jacked male characters but a group of women who don't even play video games says it's harming them that we watch attractive women in our escapism. For everyone who's been at any gym also know it's not unrealistic body proportions at all.
it's because the same group of women (if you can even call them that.) are a bunch of people who hate's themselves and is insecure of their own look and would rather smear beautifully designed and attractive female characters. in order to make themselves feel better.
To me be mad at all or none, men are just as sexualized as women in video games. No one complains. In fact I have yet to meet any fellow female gamers in the flesh who want what these consulting firms are selling. We want beautiful female and handsome male characters in our games.
Not to mention eating disorders also affect males, who are just less likely to disclose (like literally every mental health issue men face). There is an entire industry and work out supplements and steroid use aimed mostly at men to achieve unrealistic body standards. It happens to guys too... I've heard more women in my life being exclusionary on male physical attributes then I have ever heard men be categorical about not dating women because of their body type.
Every single woman I know who actually plays games has always made her characters as attractive as possible. In fact, my female characters tend to have less revailing outfits than theirs more often than not. Just like men like playing as jacked macho heroes, women like playing as badass and sexy heroines.
Dude I've been playing helldivers2 every night for a week and I haven't come across a single "toxic" gamer. In fact, everyone I've interacted with was really cool and super helpful. The organic comradery of this games community in this game is pretty amazing.
Same! It's the first game in forever that I'm happy to use in-game voice chat. Fantastic community in game, love everything about it and how the Dev's are handling themselves. If people want PvP, there's a TON of games that have it, go pick one and play it...cooperative play is much more fun for me.
Hopefully but this is giving me Rocksteady vibes a little. Founders leaving are either the game is in trouble/bad or I guess they got caught doing something illegal 😂🤷🏻♂️
Funny how men don't really game end themselves over the "impossible standards of handsomeness" set by video game characters despite how large the male audience for games is. It's almost like most people understand it's fantasy and that it's not an ideal to live up to.
Unfortunately no one called hell divers players toxic. The poster is talking about 2 completely unrelated topics for some reason it was a bit confusing
There is an issue with that study. I can see holes in it already. Just because you make something 'less toxic' doesn't mean people will play it. Usually, toxicity is related to PvP or competitive views in the game. Having less toxicity doesn't mean someone will purchase a game. Putting that Mod into CoD isn't gonna make me want to play it more. Having it go into Deep Rock Galactic isn't gonna make me want to purchase more in that game. A fun, enjoyable game that I like isn't going to be purchased more by me if it's less toxic in chat. A game I just don't like will not miraculously be purchased by me if it has less toxicity.
for them to argue that 'sexy women in games, push unhealthy stereotypes, that are dangerous to real women' suggests they view any women, attractive to the male gaze, must also be a threat to all other women. I'm really starting to see similarities between this, and the catholic church, circa witch burning era.
It's the least toxic community I've encountered. There's always a few douchebags considering there's 100s of thousands of players on at a time but thats unavoidable. Helldivers are the most nice and cooperative community I've seen in a multi-player game.
Wholeheartedly have to agree. I’ve not played with anyone who will turn down a hug. Knowing we may never cross paths again. It’s the least toxic community I’ve ever encountered in an online game. Being 100% honest.
Games like Hellblade, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and BotW/TotK were an absolute mistake - they never should have been made. We're already drowning in boring, repetitive and tedious open-world games; we certainly don't need more of them. Give us more closed-world games, honestly - it's not the world size that counts; it's what's done with that size, and those four games fail utterly.
Criticism and crying from so-called “gaming magazines” about the lack of diversity and inclusivity. The lack of minority quotas in the game is an accolade for every real developer these days and is a testament to quality.
This is a great point! It's based on real, published data (**) and gives us an easy concise rebuttal. We can play the victim too! We can't win an M/F political (and don't want to - we need our F gamers!!), but we can make the same mad claims as they do: "Single gamers are "exiting" due to the unrealistic standards of women". When they "escalate" their mad claims, so do we /lol. (**) Be careful with the dating site stats - a lot of the "TH-cam" versions don't adjust for the fact that there are 4+ times as many men on the apps as women, and many women are looking for attention, not dates. The adjusted data still checks out though.
Men arnt allowed to have preferences. Why did nexus mods ban mods that changed the women but kept the small bride skyrim mods or the astarian mod? Exactly. Seems like the same women hating, boi loving people, have infected the gaming industry.
I second this. I’m addicted and while you’d think it would get repetitive it doesn’t!!! Such a pleasant surprise for 40 bucks. I want to spend some real money and help the devs out but you earn so much in game currency you don’t have to. Constant updates and little teasers. It’s just fcking fun and I’m here for it 🫡
I may have sworn at a few players. Things like "FFS stop spawning me in front of turrets you bloody muppets!" but it does depend on when (and who) you drop with. Late night/early morning for me tends to be... special.
@MrGrimsmith yeah, I've been accused of being toxic by people who were killed by my turrets/mortars. Of course, this has almost been exclusively by very obviously new players this would(level 4-8) and inevitably be cleared up later in the missions as they realize (or I spell it out) that the turrets are automated and friendly fire is a thing.
An attempt at it, sure. But the tech isn't there yet and those trying to become 'The Party' don't have the unity to not sabotage their efforts. Thank God.
@@Sorain1 Oh really? Please educate yourself on China's social score system and how an insanely dense network of public cameras can identify anyone by gait alone...
The AAA game industry is in no real position to keep bending the knee like that. Threatening general consumers and gamers by exposing their privacy to outside sources is only going to convince them not to buy their products while also leading to lawsuits galore. Unless Blackrock and Vanguard are paying massive sums of money, I doubt the companies would enjoy negative profits.
I hope Blackrock pumps twice as much into gaming than Disney. Dumping money out of two open ended pipelines will hopefully drain their resources faster.
Your description of them being toddlers is so accurate. A toddler cries because they think they need something but you can't understand them and it pisses them off so crying is all they got. The major difference of course is the toddler actually needs you and can't do anything on their own and these guys.....well they should be able to take care of themselves, but won't so maybe it's even more accurate.
They say carriers will be targeted and they will be getting harmed and in the streets because of a video game. Yet if you look at New York City, where most people are liberals with a liberal mayor and a liberal governor, that's where the experience the most [violins].
Seeing Helldivers 2 sell so well, and now Stellar Blade is getting twice as many preorders as that is the message that needs to be sent right now. The Core Audience is back baby.
Let’s be real here, this isn’t the first time community manager tries to put words in the developer’s mouth. They don’t speak for the developer, yet try to anyway. Unless we see the devs themselves say these things, I’ll take this story with a grain of salt.
These people don't understand that we gamers aren't going to buy into this crap anymore. The thing about us is that even though we can be toxic, belittling, idiotic, trolling, and many other things, we stand by each other. The gaming community is a powerful group that when push comes to shove we will fight for our own. These people at sweet baby and BGG are messing with the wrong people and sooner or later they're going to learn that. "Fuck around and find out" comes to mind and they have yet to find out
These people don't understand how gamers can band together because they themselves have nothing in common with their allies outside of "right think". Gamers don't care, we will tell our opponents to go f*ck themselves and run it back, ESPECIALLY if I lost.
these people will say anything to push their agenda . they should be made to prove that any female has caused themselves harm because of a game . even if they could show this there is a case for the person being unstable before gaming in the first place
IMO, They can't rationally argue the subject without being hypocritical and being called out for it. Therefore they don't engage in open free conversation, and resort to emotional outbursts and bullying to get their way.
I personally am not a fan of over sexualization just because i don't like immodesty and pornographic material of any kind, but that's just me, I'm not going to go out of my way to try and label fans and have a meltdown over stellar blade, because I'm a normal person who understands when something isn't meant for me and can just walk away without feeling like I'm missing out
I want to know what their end goal is? Suppose we get rid of every "toxic" player, which according to them there is so many of them that something has to be done, so the servers and lobies get empy which would mean the devs will add bots and at the end it will be the end of that game. The remedy to intolerance isn't more intolerance. But patience. Muting a toxic playe who obviously is trying to get attention by other players, helps more than implementing monitoring programs.
Not to mention that I'd imagine getting told off by an actual human in the moment will help cure the behaviour much better than if you get a random automated message hours afterwards telling you that wasn't very cool and you're banned
@@olafthebear2327 The end goal is destruction. In this particular case, the destruction of an escape from their real world stupidity. They want to make you eternally miserable for not worshiping them like gods. It is about shoving their perverted junk in your face every second of every day. You are talking about seriously messed up people.
We're going to get a lizzo sized character in an action adventure video game doing back flips and acrobatic moves very soon. That shit is going to be hilarious
Great Video. Regarding the voice mod thing, this is already happening in the workplace. Our company uses Microsoft Teams to record meetings so we can go back if we miss one, or to refresh our memory on a process. My manager just recently came to a meeting with me and used voice clips from those recordings to showcase things I'd done wrong. Now I just don't talk at all cause she's weaponized everything we say. Also as a woman I will be buying Stella Blade since Eve looks badass.
Honestly these constant failed-journalists attacks against gamers fail to recognize the Whiffle-bat they are wielding to beat their supposed audience, that has long since abandoned them, has long since deflated and could barely manage to tickle a housefly. Their only practical use is a sad example of a non-stopping flaming trainwreck for independent youtubers to point and laugh at. Ironic that pointing the camera and laughing in unison is a more lucrative source of income
I think the founder left was indeed because woke infestation, it takes something serious for the founder to LEAVE so don't be surprised if hellblade gets infected.
Only "toxic" thing I've experienced in Helldivers is getting kicked from a high level lobby when I was newbie. Not even toxic, I totally expected it. However, some high level players took me and my friend in (new to the game, and low level), and straight up said on comms, "Let's get these guys some levels!" I was proud to spread democracy with some true patriots.
Helldivers 2 players are only toxic to Creekers and Bug Hunters respectively due to the major orders in the game. I am a Creeker. We spent all 54 days of the war holding the line on the Bot Front. On the flip side, the Bug Hunters just fight Terminids and are scared to face the Bots. So its ingame/inworld toxicity, not real life. That I can deal with.
Just did block there page from appearing on my Google game news feed not interested anymore I'm one drop but one pure one that is not effected by there shit anymore gamerant is next on my list clickbate idiot so frustrating
I think the stellar blade became so popular because, when people give you the same thing over and over, you’ll develop a resistance toward it, like a sickness. So Stellar Blade became so popular because a lot of gamers are getting tired of the same thing over and over again. Plus, has the stellar blade guy never met a woman before? Have they ever seen a smart guy before? I got a 3.9 GPA, and it sometimes shows.
Hi mate. Greetings from Australia. I just bought Dead or Alive 6 deluxe edition on Series X just to support devs who appreciate beautiful women in video games . It is 80 percent off so I encourage people to take a look. It’s also a really fun game, you can play it for free but this unlocks story mode and gives you plenty of costumes.
7:45 Can we take a moment to enjoy that the "unrealistic standards" being applied here are just skinny/fit? edit: 16:45 i feel like I've heard about something like this before and they got in trouble because kids exist and governments know ppl flip when the data of kids is being kept without permission and the thing no one ever reads didn't count.
True toxicity is thinking EVERYTHING has to be a competition and yhu have to be the best… I think the future of gaming (and society itself, honestly) relies on leaving the competitive mindset behind and adopting a cooperative mindset… we should be helping eachother achieve greatness together, not sabotaging eachother so we can boast about a shiny new toy we got first…
As a suggestion for more PvE smaller squad games, I may suggest some of the younger helldiver fans checkout Outriders, I know it's part of SBI detected list...but the bundles going cheap. Think gears of war gunplay with mass effect powers...in hindsight, I don't think SBI did much apart from make the female toon look like they could bench a truck and take a sledgehammer to the chin...oh yeah, has transmogs for those completionists/ loot goblins out there. I cleared the game with a maxed lvl 50 technomancer, my buddy played either his devastator or pyromancer. Good times.
I've been online gaming since the early 2000s and only ONCE did I come across anything which could be considered toxic, and it was a guy making fun of another guy's French accent. Which is of course bizarre and plenty of players started defending the French fellow.
You would think after the Sonic Movie design fiasco these Journalist would learn gamers ain't taking shit anymore, gamers come together when there is injustice and we're tired of being kicked about...
Can someone explain to me WTF happened during the last 10 years that made people so oversensitive? Like if you take the 80s, 90s, 00s... It wasn't like that. What the hell happened?
Tumblr users infected Twitter where all the politicians, marketing teams, and journalists were and they listened to them. They then hired Tumblr users and college students who think like them into positions of power, and it escalated from there.
If these people hate Stellar Blade, shouldn't they also hate Alien and Aliens? Hmm, maybe they do, maybe that's why the recent movies in the series have been so bad

I have half a mind to just branch all my favorite gaming youtubers/video essayists under one magazine and give them blank cheque to do whatever they want.
I guarantee it will eviscerate all these morons except for needing walkthroughs on new releases and even then I'd just hire fighting cowboy or shirrako or someone and have someone take notes with them and bam I've destroyed all these outlets in one move.

Helldivers 2 players are toxic mhm that’s weird to hear 💀😂
Sounds like some bugs wrote it
Helldivers 2 players are based, I made many new friends fought and had good fun while fighting for Super Earth and finally made a Deadpool to bet who dies first or more in certain days.
@@miguelignaciotovarpena9101hopefully you actually did that stuff instead of just saying it
Helldivers 2 is awesome, and even took care of the Pigroach DSP
I have only come across one single mildy toxic player with almost 200 hours of game time. I would say that's pretty good.
“Never seen a woman in their lives.” Lmao. Sounds like mega cope to me 😂
**they** sound like people who have never seen a woman outside of porn
Absolutely
It’s insecurity on their end. They’re upset that they have to put effort to look the part, instead of remaining as they are and shaming others for not finding them attractive.
That just screams they never touched a boob ever.
@@biohazard4995I'm shocked they haven't changed their complaints to "the main character is a self insert" because of the fact the main character looks like the creator's wife
They are body shaming Eve! "Commander, I think we have a bug infestation back on Earth, send in Helldivers!"
We just have to make a curator list to list all the games to use this tool and not buying them since it's a toxic tool !
You're holding the line for every gamer. Hang in there we really appreciate you guys

As I commented on the G&G video: "I live in scandinavia, when the SB demo dropped I went to the IGN website (for the first time in my life, I think). On "IGN Nordic" there was a review from IGN Japan, a very positive review!
IGNs excuse is that they have no editorial control over IGN France (I guess that goes for IGN Japan also). What kind of a clusterduck is this website?"
Keep up the good work, I really like your well thought out, and in this time and age, "long" videos.
Your editorials (videos) are interesting, and in a slow pace, because you don't try to cram in 900 words pr. minute. Never change.
Thank you very much!!!
So I can't say for sure, but I'm almost 95% sure Toxmod is a constitutional violation.
The whole "this will inspire real women to self harm because they can't live up to this body image" reminds me of that old meme talking about the unrealistic expectations of Barbie's figure, next to a picture of He-Man.
It's perfectly fine to have every Chris in the MCU take off their shirts to show off muscles that literally require incredibly dangerous workout routines and dehydration to accomplish at a risk to their health, but don't you dare have a pretty female in a game!

It warms my cold heart to see people uniting to push back against this garbage. If we keep working together, we can bring gaming back to what it was.
I stand by this, I too will pre-order, purchase, and promote games who push back against the woke mob who never loved, or were part of the industry until recently. They took over social media, the film industry, the news, schools, social gatherings, comic books, novels, and everything else under the sun. Enough is enough.
Oh fuck please can we do this people because I am running out of escapism avenues before I just become numb
The funny thing is to assume toxicity only comes from the chat. Especially in a game like Helldivers 2 where you can grift to your heart's content thanks to friendly fire being enabled.
It is amazing that how no one seems to know about the mute function in all online gaming.
Replayed the Stellar Blade demo and I really liked it. Finished it on Story Mode and now Normal Mode. I am glad devs like Helldivers and Shift Up aren't bending the knee to these idiots.
Best example to follow for fellow indie gamedevs
100%. Supporting these guys now, as long as they don’t cave
@@scoso.88they won't. The support to stay anti-woke is far larger then the support to go woke. There's probably a few hundred thousand woke gamers but there's millions of us based ass gamers
@daMillenialTrucker I wouldn't even call it anti-woke. It's called normal entertainment, still pure and unaltered since it's free of propaganda.
HELLDIVERS FREE OF PROPAGANDA? Isn’t it being satirical facism like the whole point of the game (besides being fun)?
Helldivers has its own politics. FOR SUPER EARTH, SWEET LIBERTY, AND DEMOCRACY!
Never give up the Creek, divers!
Remember the Creek!
For super earth brothers and sisters!
I’m doing my part!
The trees may speak binary but the air smells of DEMOCRACY!
For Democracy!
Funny how everyone's ok with huge jacked male characters but a group of women who don't even play video games says it's harming them that we watch attractive women in our escapism. For everyone who's been at any gym also know it's not unrealistic body proportions at all.
it's because the same group of women (if you can even call them that.) are a bunch of people who hate's themselves and is insecure of their own look and would rather smear beautifully designed and attractive female characters. in order to make themselves feel better.
To me be mad at all or none, men are just as sexualized as women in video games. No one complains.
In fact I have yet to meet any fellow female gamers in the flesh who want what these consulting firms are selling.
We want beautiful female and handsome male characters in our games.
Never apologize for wanting beautiful hot female characters in video games!
Not to mention eating disorders also affect males, who are just less likely to disclose (like literally every mental health issue men face). There is an entire industry and work out supplements and steroid use aimed mostly at men to achieve unrealistic body standards. It happens to guys too... I've heard more women in my life being exclusionary on male physical attributes then I have ever heard men be categorical about not dating women because of their body type.
Every single woman I know who actually plays games has always made her characters as attractive as possible. In fact, my female characters tend to have less revailing outfits than theirs more often than not. Just like men like playing as jacked macho heroes, women like playing as badass and sexy heroines.
Not enough. Blocked IGN COMPLETELY on ALL my devices
Not to mention the creative directors wife at 40 yr old is ten times more attractive as than your average NA woman ten years younger
Dude I've been playing helldivers2 every night for a week and I haven't come across a single "toxic" gamer. In fact, everyone I've interacted with was really cool and super helpful. The organic comradery of this games community in this game is pretty amazing.
I wonder if you were one of the new players I helped out the other day. Keep up the good work diver!

Same! It's the first game in forever that I'm happy to use in-game voice chat. Fantastic community in game, love everything about it and how the Dev's are handling themselves. If people want PvP, there's a TON of games that have it, go pick one and play it...cooperative play is much more fun for me.
i like when random players hug me before leaving the squad lol
Doesn’t mater, its a military Game, with patriotic propaganda. You Are maga in their heads.
@@c1borgen Same. I played a mission and every time we completed an objective a random emoted with a handshake. Love it.
Hoping that hellblade 2 manages to stay true to it.
Hopefully but this is giving me Rocksteady vibes a little. Founders leaving are either the game is in trouble/bad or I guess they got caught doing something illegal 😂🤷🏻♂️
Funny how men don't really game end themselves over the "impossible standards of handsomeness" set by video game characters despite how large the male audience for games is. It's almost like most people understand it's fantasy and that it's not an ideal to live up to.
Men already know no one cares about their feelings
It's a standard to aspire to.
After 100+ hours experience with Helldivers it has been the opposite of toxic and has actually restored my faith in knowing good people are out there.
Unfortunately no one called hell divers players toxic. The poster is talking about 2 completely unrelated topics for some reason it was a bit confusing
There is an issue with that study. I can see holes in it already. Just because you make something 'less toxic' doesn't mean people will play it. Usually, toxicity is related to PvP or competitive views in the game. Having less toxicity doesn't mean someone will purchase a game. Putting that Mod into CoD isn't gonna make me want to play it more. Having it go into Deep Rock Galactic isn't gonna make me want to purchase more in that game. A fun, enjoyable game that I like isn't going to be purchased more by me if it's less toxic in chat. A game I just don't like will not miraculously be purchased by me if it has less toxicity.
I nominate stellar blade the winner of the Hogwarts legacy award. That goes to the game with the best unintentional marketing campaign
Any game would be honored to have such an award bestowed upon them
That honestly should be a thing each year. I can't picture anything else getting it for this year, but life has a tendency to surprise me.
Sexy women will hurt women?! Really?!
So, being overweight, sorry, body positive, doesn't hurt women.

You gotta remember that women rate Gorlock a 10...

@@markmunroe-hz8rf There's lots of memes around her. Look up Gorlock the Destroyer if you want a laugh.
for them to argue that 'sexy women in games, push unhealthy stereotypes, that are dangerous to real women' suggests they view any women, attractive to the male gaze, must also be a threat to all other women.
I'm really starting to see similarities between this, and the catholic church, circa witch burning era.
I don't know if helldivers are toxic. I only play with my friends who constantly call me a bundle of sticks all the time
You're toxic... to the bugs!
It's the least toxic community I've encountered. There's always a few douchebags considering there's 100s of thousands of players on at a time but thats unavoidable.
Helldivers are the most nice and cooperative community I've seen in a multi-player game.
Wholeheartedly have to agree. I’ve not played with anyone who will turn down a hug. Knowing we may never cross paths again. It’s the least toxic community I’ve ever encountered in an online game. Being 100% honest.
my people 😎
They're not, as a community. When you've got a clear enemy to fight and can only rely on the people beside you, toxicity doesn't last.
Games like Hellblade, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and BotW/TotK were an absolute mistake - they never should have been made. We're already drowning in boring, repetitive and tedious open-world games; we certainly don't need more of them.
Give us more closed-world games, honestly - it's not the world size that counts; it's what's done with that size, and those four games fail utterly.
Criticism and crying from so-called “gaming magazines” about the lack of diversity and inclusivity. The lack of minority quotas in the game is an accolade for every real developer these days and is a testament to quality.
That EIC has never been on a dating app where the women only respond to 10% of men.
Impossible standards are good for one side only, I guess
This is a great point! It's based on real, published data (**) and gives us an easy concise rebuttal. We can play the victim too!
We can't win an M/F political (and don't want to - we need our F gamers!!), but we can make the same mad claims as they do:
"Single gamers are "exiting" due to the unrealistic standards of women". When they "escalate" their mad claims, so do we /lol.
(**) Be careful with the dating site stats - a lot of the "TH-cam" versions don't adjust for the fact that there are 4+ times as many men on the apps as women, and many women are looking for attention, not dates. The adjusted data still checks out though.
"Rules for thee but not for me."
Men arnt allowed to have preferences. Why did nexus mods ban mods that changed the women but kept the small bride skyrim mods or the astarian mod?
Exactly. Seems like the same women hating, boi loving people, have infected the gaming industry.
They think everyone has mental issues like them. Most women I know would embrace beauty, not reject it.

If you haven't, you're missing out. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in over 10 years.
Get in loser, we're spreading democracy!
become a hero, become a legend, become... a Helldiver
I second this. I’m addicted and while you’d think it would get repetitive it doesn’t!!! Such a pleasant surprise for 40 bucks. I want to spend some real money and help the devs out but you earn so much in game currency you don’t have to. Constant updates and little teasers. It’s just fcking fun and I’m here for it 🫡
217 hours into Helldivers, Not heard one toxic thing.
100% over 200 hrs here
Hard to be toxic when players don't chat and just use the ping function
Almost too three hundred for me lol.... gaming too much...
I may have sworn at a few players. Things like "FFS stop spawning me in front of turrets you bloody muppets!" but it does depend on when (and who) you drop with. Late night/early morning for me tends to be... special.
@MrGrimsmith yeah, I've been accused of being toxic by people who were killed by my turrets/mortars. Of course, this has almost been exclusively by very obviously new players this would(level 4-8) and inevitably be cleared up later in the missions as they realize (or I spell it out) that the turrets are automated and friendly fire is a thing.
I don’t understand it. Eve is no different than the women in tekken 8.
Tekken 8 probably isn't as known or talked about amongst actual gamers is probably why the weirdos don't attack it
Literally nobody wants Helldivers 2 PvP🙄🤦♂️.
Not every game needs a competitive sweat feast.
And if someone were to say Eve is a trans woman, then they would all be elated.

The AAA game industry is in no real position to keep bending the knee like that. Threatening general consumers and gamers by exposing their privacy to outside sources is only going to convince them not to buy their products while also leading to lawsuits galore.
Unless Blackrock and Vanguard are paying massive sums of money, I doubt the companies would enjoy negative profits.
AAA is dead.
They still need to pay the investment money back.They only get better interest rates. So they actually are losing money.
Good way to get rid of the crazies from the industry because there is no way a business model like that is going to survive
I hope Blackrock pumps twice as much into gaming than Disney. Dumping money out of two open ended pipelines will hopefully drain their resources faster.
yup, people will just move elsewhere, they'll lose money, go bankrupt, and then wonder where everything went wrong
Your description of them being toddlers is so accurate. A toddler cries because they think they need something but you can't understand them and it pisses them off so crying is all they got. The major difference of course is the toddler actually needs you and can't do anything on their own and these guys.....well they should be able to take care of themselves, but won't so maybe it's even more accurate.
They say carriers will be targeted and they will be getting harmed and in the streets because of a video game. Yet if you look at New York City, where most people are liberals with a liberal mayor and a liberal governor, that's where the experience the most [violins].
Seeing Helldivers 2 sell so well, and now Stellar Blade is getting twice as many preorders as that is the message that needs to be sent right now. The Core Audience is back baby.
Here comes their "community manager" though
Let’s be real here, this isn’t the first time community manager tries to put words in the developer’s mouth. They don’t speak for the developer, yet try to anyway. Unless we see the devs themselves say these things, I’ll take this story with a grain of salt.
These people don't understand that we gamers aren't going to buy into this crap anymore. The thing about us is that even though we can be toxic, belittling, idiotic, trolling, and many other things, we stand by each other. The gaming community is a powerful group that when push comes to shove we will fight for our own. These people at sweet baby and BGG are messing with the wrong people and sooner or later they're going to learn that.
"Fuck around and find out" comes to mind and they have yet to find out
Cause unfortunately they are still fucking around waiting for the downfall eagerly
These people don't understand how gamers can band together because they themselves have nothing in common with their allies outside of "right think". Gamers don't care, we will tell our opponents to go f*ck themselves and run it back, ESPECIALLY if I lost.
As a bi woman, I'm glad I was included in the apology. I'm tired of troll looking women in games
these people will say anything to push their agenda . they should be made to prove that any female has caused themselves harm because of a game . even if they could show this there is a case for the person being unstable before gaming in the first place
IMO, They can't rationally argue the subject without being hypocritical and being called out for it. Therefore they don't engage in open free conversation, and resort to emotional outbursts and bullying to get their way.
@@Magusmanlogic always wins. So do facts.
Well….. can’t say I’ve ever experienced depression playing as a male protagonist thats ripped and would probably get more girls then me.
I personally am not a fan of over sexualization just because i don't like immodesty and pornographic material of any kind, but that's just me, I'm not going to go out of my way to try and label fans and have a meltdown over stellar blade, because I'm a normal person who understands when something isn't meant for me and can just walk away without feeling like I'm missing out
I want to know what their end goal is? Suppose we get rid of every "toxic" player, which according to them there is so many of them that something has to be done, so the servers and lobies get empy which would mean the devs will add bots and at the end it will be the end of that game.
The remedy to intolerance isn't more intolerance. But patience. Muting a toxic playe who obviously is trying to get attention by other players, helps more than implementing monitoring programs.
Not to mention that I'd imagine getting told off by an actual human in the moment will help cure the behaviour much better than if you get a random automated message hours afterwards telling you that wasn't very cool and you're banned
@@olafthebear2327 The end goal is destruction. In this particular case, the destruction of an escape from their real world stupidity. They want to make you eternally miserable for not worshiping them like gods. It is about shoving their perverted junk in your face every second of every day. You are talking about seriously messed up people.
We're going to get a lizzo sized character in an action adventure video game doing back flips and acrobatic moves very soon. That shit is going to be hilarious
That some plus story to be talk about if happen
Funny too because she quit she couldn’t handle the “the pressure
Great Video. Regarding the voice mod thing, this is already happening in the workplace. Our company uses Microsoft Teams to record meetings so we can go back if we miss one, or to refresh our memory on a process. My manager just recently came to a meeting with me and used voice clips from those recordings to showcase things I'd done wrong. Now I just don't talk at all cause she's weaponized everything we say. Also as a woman I will be buying Stella Blade since Eve looks badass.
I love Helldivers 2. The community is the opposite of what I'd consider toxic. I've never had so much fun dying so frequently!

Honestly these constant failed-journalists attacks against gamers fail to recognize the Whiffle-bat they are wielding to beat their supposed audience, that has long since abandoned them, has long since deflated and could barely manage to tickle a housefly.
Their only practical use is a sad example of a non-stopping flaming trainwreck for independent youtubers to point and laugh at.
Ironic that pointing the camera and laughing in unison is a more lucrative source of income
I think the founder left was indeed because woke infestation, it takes something serious for the founder to LEAVE so don't be surprised if hellblade gets infected.
Only "toxic" thing I've experienced in Helldivers is getting kicked from a high level lobby when I was newbie. Not even toxic, I totally expected it. However, some high level players took me and my friend in (new to the game, and low level), and straight up said on comms, "Let's get these guys some levels!"
I was proud to spread democracy with some true patriots.
Helldivers 2 players are only toxic to Creekers and Bug Hunters respectively due to the major orders in the game. I am a Creeker. We spent all 54 days of the war holding the line on the Bot Front. On the flip side, the Bug Hunters just fight Terminids and are scared to face the Bots. So its ingame/inworld toxicity, not real life. That I can deal with.
We should adapt a page from their own playbook and cancel IGN, SBI, BGG, and any production with relations with any of these groups.
Well, according to them, if you do that you're racist/sexist/ect.
Just did block there page from appearing on my Google game news feed not interested anymore I'm one drop but one pure one that is not effected by there shit anymore gamerant is next on my list clickbate idiot so frustrating

I think the stellar blade became so popular because, when people give you the same thing over and over, you’ll develop a resistance toward it, like a sickness. So Stellar Blade became so popular because a lot of gamers are getting tired of the same thing over and over again. Plus, has the stellar blade guy never met a woman before? Have they ever seen a smart guy before? I got a 3.9 GPA, and it sometimes shows.

Hi mate. Greetings from Australia. I just bought Dead or Alive 6 deluxe edition on Series X just to support devs who appreciate beautiful women in video games . It is 80 percent off so I encourage people to take a look. It’s also a really fun game, you can play it for free but this unlocks story mode and gives you plenty of costumes.
Enjoy! My gf is Australian too you guys have funny accents doesn’t sound real half the time

True toxicity is thinking EVERYTHING has to be a competition and yhu have to be the best…
I think the future of gaming (and society itself, honestly) relies on leaving the competitive mindset behind and adopting a cooperative mindset… we should be helping eachother achieve greatness together, not sabotaging eachother so we can boast about a shiny new toy we got first…
As a suggestion for more PvE smaller squad games, I may suggest some of the younger helldiver fans checkout Outriders, I know it's part of SBI detected list...but the bundles going cheap. Think gears of war gunplay with mass effect powers...in hindsight, I don't think SBI did much apart from make the female toon look like they could bench a truck and take a sledgehammer to the chin...oh yeah, has transmogs for those completionists/ loot goblins out there. I cleared the game with a maxed lvl 50 technomancer, my buddy played either his devastator or pyromancer. Good times.
I've been online gaming since the early 2000s and only ONCE did I come across anything which could be considered toxic, and it was a guy making fun of another guy's French accent. Which is of course bizarre and plenty of players started defending the French fellow.
Helldivers 2 could definitely have a pvp mode is they allowed players to play as the robots
You would think after the Sonic Movie design fiasco these Journalist would learn gamers ain't taking shit anymore, gamers come together when there is injustice and we're tired of being kicked about...
There is an easy way to avoid toxicity in Helldivers, just mute everyone.. Its actually very enjoyable to play like this
sooner or later, devs and gamers will not give these game journos a single f ck.
Here's hope Publisher do the same.. and investor too. The profit is enough proof already.
Can someone explain to me WTF happened during the last 10 years that made people so oversensitive? Like if you take the 80s, 90s, 00s... It wasn't like that. What the hell happened?
