The gist of all this?
Gaming(read any) community has trolls and mentally disturbed members.
I think if you look at various groups that's true, but the scale and intensity of the gamer denial, hate and misogyny shows they have a very real problem.
Just look at the comments here, LOL!
Funny you should say that nutjob, I find the gamer community (PC more specifically) to be one of the most chill communities you'll find. Case and point, this site. You won't find much more helpful people on the internet than you will here. Yeah, you'll get a few nutjobs in the gaming community that are heavily influenced by the violence, or display hateful feelings towards others for various reasons, or even just some of the younger crowd spewing nonsense, but the majority of gamers I know are decent, friendly people.
I don't know if you've ever looked around here, but you won't often find members getting into heated arguments, maybe a brand war here and there, but it typically stays civil, and people present educated thoughts and opinions. Not name calling, and finger pointing.
From my experience, the people that are so quick to point a finger, degrade, and stereotype an entire group of people because of the actions of a few, are the ones that need to step back, look at their own life, and enjoy(or not) the irony.
