@LikeToBeBossy Lots of people want to be desired and lusted over. It’s true that we all want true love, but there’s nothing wrong with admiring beauty. It’s human nature in all of us. We play games to escape into fantasy, and admire beauty, and I think those who view women as objects are wrong.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@LikeToBeBossy I’ll just leave with this. It’s no doubt men are mad. Everyone can see they’re mad, and vile. And they’re disgusting about it. I won’t defend that. But if you could understand WHY they’re mad, maybe you won’t perpetuate the myth that they just hate women and refuse to play as 1.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@LikeToBeBossy I do appreciate you having a civil discussion. Yes, there are still some games appealing to men, but those are mostly Japanese games. The demo for these types of games are 70-90% male, it shouldn’t be 1 of 5. There’s a clear agenda from western devs to replace their audience.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@LikeToBeBossy I believe you believe that. But there are patterns: “Strong women reject ‘male gaze,’ men are flawed/toxic needing lessons, devs/consultants openly target ‘patriarchy,” traditional masculinity is bad.” They are consistently lecturing the main demo funding their ~$200M titles.

@LikeToBeBossy behind on a hobby they’ve loved their whole lives. Most men on here are too low IQ to articulate these arguments, so they just devolve into slurs and insults, which lends credence to what others believe. It’s all terrible. But my point stands. Men are angry, and deservedly so.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@LikeToBeBossy Respectfully, that’s just demonstrably false. The dismissive messaging these days from western devs, while subliminal, is very much there. “Men are bad and no longer worthy of representation.” Some, maybe even you, see this as an overdue correction, but lots of men feel left 1/2

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@LikeToBeBossy Ok fair. Now if you can believe it, the same cannot be said for men in gaming these days. Every western studio seems to hate them, their money, their gender, their values, and constantly belittles them for just being men who enjoy escapism and the male power fantasy.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@Psyberiously One problem is, a lot of guys on here are too low IQ to properly articulate a coherent argument on behalf of themselves, even though there is one. So they end up just hurling slurs and vile insults, confirming what the other side already believes.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@kayladelancey No need to imagine. It’s the reason we’re currently here. Men had a hobby, then women injected themselves into the hobby, complained for years about male power fantasies, labeled white men = bad, forced diversity and inclusion, and voilà, 2026 intersectionality FTW.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@TheGingerPerks It sucks when slurs are used to attack the person instead of debating the argument. I don’t like their approach, but I do understand their motive. So many disenfranchised men have just been beaten over the head now for a decade that being a white man is inherently evil and wrong.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@yourmomsbo0ty @davebftv Yeah, that’s exactly why.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@brookeab I think this is just thousands and thousands of men who just feel like they’ve been completely disenfranchised and forgotten. Here’s this hobby that they’ve invested their whole lives into, and now everyone wants to tell them they don’t matter anymore, and to get over it.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@the_fem_tm Feminism is about dismantling the patriarchy. They want society to believe women can be men, and do anything they can do. But yet, they choose not to do any of the hard jobs that build and keep infrastructure operational. They want to capitalize on both male and female privilege.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@ScottHigdon11 @La_PsyChiq Man, the fictional love story was my whole argument. It makes me think I’m talking to a bot. If she was attracted to him, this wouldn’t have been considered “creepy”. Because it wasn’t. It was only creepy because how it made her feel. Which is ridiculous.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@ScottHigdon11 @La_PsyChiq I just flat-out disagree. Let’s say they caught each eye, she smiled at him, he smiled at her, she got the little butterflies, but they never spoke a word. And if he went home, and he did the same thing, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It’d be a love story on Lifetime.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@ScottHigdon11 @La_PsyChiq You must be really very young, and that’s fine. No shade. It’s just not how the world works. Asking a girl out, as long as it’s respectful, isn’t creepy. How a man (or woman) responds to a “no,” would then get into potentially creep territory if they don’t remain respectful.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@ScottHigdon11 @La_PsyChiq This makes zero sense man. How do you get their phone number in the first place? Ever? By asking for it. If I walk up to a girl in the club that I find attractive to ask for her number, I’m doing something without her consent, according to you. She could just label me a creep.

[Michael Gergets 📓🖋🎸🎮 @CryptiMike1]

@ScottHigdon11 @La_PsyChiq Let me ask you, if he would’ve just remembered her name, looked her up on social media, found her Instagram, and then messaged the exact same message, would you consider him a creep?
