I should explain a bit why I have a minority opinion in the FGC.
I've done some things before that hurt some people in the past, I was wrong to do so, and I do feel bad about it. There's nothing I can do about it except change. I know I've been in a dick in the past, though it was being dumb and not knowing better. Also, another game I used to play back in the old, old days- a game that a lot of old-school GAF liked in the past, their community got a huge blow from misogyny. The funny thing was one of the girl players I knew from that game, I ran into ten years later running a girl gamer site, that another friend of mine from somewhere else was part of. She remembered me at least a little bit.
Secondly, about a year ago, there was a smaller-scale flareup, and I asked a couple of female players/game journos what they would want folks to do in the FGC. They said it was to try and make clear that this sort of behavior would not be tolerated. One of those persons is still at least somewhat part of the FGC (she was at Southtown arcade in the past month) I decided to take that advice.
A lot of the FGC isn't very good with women, including myself, though that's not the entire FGC- obviously, as many are married.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that if stuff like this was a necessary part of the community, I don't need to be a part of that community. There's enough good communities I've been part of, that I know this stuff isn't needed.
