Are FF14 players more feminine

[Kolsykol]

I mean i’ve always heard of “muh toxic masculinity” but i don’t see it as often as people make it out to be. I can argue toxic femininity is a thing as well, but i’m curious why this thread is solely focused on bringing down masculinity

I don't disagree that toxic femininty is a thing too, usually it tends to be expressed in more covert ways through emotional manipulation.
Like crying to get what you want or doing something bad then intentionally presenting yourself to be a victim because you know people are more prone to view women as victims.
I think you see this more on sites like Twitter tho than ingame.

But I think this thread has more to do with being insecure about your masculinity and afraid of being perceived as feminine or like you have to tear it down/ gatekeep it out of games.
When it comes to gaming I definitely think that the toxic side of masculinity is more present for quite obvious reasons.
I'd probably say when it comes to devs tho I think it's the opposite, I see significantly more trashy and stereotypical '' girl drama '' nowadays amongst game devs and journalists it sometimes feels like they're still in high school tearing each other down through gossip and drama.
Probably has a lot to do with Twitter too tho.

It's not about promoting femininity or tearing down masculinity I think you're being a bit overly defensive here for no reason.
If anything I am trying to elevate masculinity by saying that you're not actually being masculine or at least not in a positive way for behaving poorly or being insecure and trying to gatekeep and turn gaming into a boys club.
If someones value in regards to masculinity essentially begins and ends when it comes to what race they play in a video game and how they dress it up then I think it kinda speaks volume for how weak it is and I don't think it's healthy.

In regards to Xenosys I do think he does the whole dudebro thing I think that's more of a persona tho.
I think it's hard to judge a Streamer fully like that especially when he very clearly puts on an act, he's trying to entertain people.
