[quote=Hunter of Shadows]I'm sure some people have said this already, but men are sexist in general anyways being a geek has nothing to do with it[/quote]

You must be a man then, because that was pretty sexist.

Seriously though, sexism is rampant in [i]both[/i] genders. It's a product of human sexual dimorphism plus people generally being assholes, and women are not immune from either of those things.

[quote=Nevis]There's an issue with the entire premise of this thread, though, in that it takes the entire subject out of context; sexism in video games and 'geek' subculture is part of cultural sexism and general, and there will be elements missing without looking at it and understanding it in that full context. There are plenty of references and examples that relate to that in this thread-I think it's incomplete, though.[/quote]

That's a good point, and I think it's one a lot of people could benefit from acknowledging. Sexism in any subculture is a part of the larger whole, so compartmentalizing them as separate entities will give some rather inaccurate impressions about what's going on.

[quote=Brovo]Mocking intellectualism and praising meme-based stupidity and reposts. Yes. This is definitely a positive element of the spam community. One so positive that even Jorick hardly goes there anymore. :rolleyes[/quote]

Well, to be fair to Spam, that's not the reason I've strayed away from the section. I always was something of an oddity among Spam though, since I often posted paragraphs where others posted single lines. However, I am capable of brevity when it comes to silliness and stupidity, so I managed to blend in sometimes. :hehe

Turt's nonsense and those responding to him are getting off topic though, so everyone should probably do the smart thing and not bother responding to any more of his shit stirring here in the thread.
