Menslib encounters higher level player in video game, comes to the conclusion that women are IRL n00bs and that this is why we need feminism

https://www.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/8ntu8o/how_a_video_game_forced_me_to_better_empathize/
I ask in open chat if he can get out of our doorway, but he doesn't move. So I tear down a nearby wall to give us an exit, and suddenly my character is blacked out. He had shot me with a tranquilizing arrow from a crossbow. He then proceeded to shoot my girlfriend before she could make it out of the hut.
He stalked around our defenseless bodies and rifled through the stuff we had stored in boxes. Then he started taking things out of our inventory as well. I see a message in open chat: "I'll let you two live." As if he's done us some kind of favor. Then he just leaves.
[This] made me realize the fear and uncertainty women go through when dealing with someone who clearly has ill intent and that they know they cannot realistically fend off. The difference in size/strength is often just too much to overcome. This is something that I was aware of, but until that experience could never empathize with.
Shouldn't the actual conclusion of your epiphany be that women need to git gud?

lmao. People take video games too seriously.

Jesus christ these dudes blow up video games in their lives so much. It's really retarded how much vidya is important to them.

I don't want to think about what type of father that guy is if he had to learn that sometimes you should be supportive of your child from a fucking video game.

God of war's story was above average for a vidya, but if it actually changed your life in any significant way, you should probably reconsider that life.

Yeah. I thought the history was okay, like all other gow games. I think it makes a lot of difference now because of the voice acting and all that. I played them all but what a disappointed and let down the ending was. I didn't like it at all.

1 Chicup 2018-06-03
/u/FeatherShard
He did really did.
So tell me how often does your girlfriend cower at the thought of men she can't fend off? I mean realistically there are a LOT of men you can't fend off and men are far more likely to experience violence against them than women. Really how do you manage?
1 FeatherShard 2018-06-03
Taking all of our stuff and leaving us unconscious is pretty much the same as killing us, so not really. Unless you're referring to some kind of "life lesson", in which case... no. That people are dicks isn't exactly news.
And you're right, men are more likely to experience violence. But like I mentioned, as a fairly big/strong dude myself I'm unlikely to have a violent encounter in the first place and reasonably likely to be able to defend myself if I do end up in one. Obviously, if my assailant is using a weapon I'm pretty well fucked, but just in terms of physicality I've always done okay. But like I mentioned, the vast majority of women don't have that peace of mind.
As for my girlfriend, well, she carries an asp for a reason. A steel rod does a lot to encourage someone to leave you alone. That she's an inch taller than me doesn't hurt either. However, she does live with a much higher degree of uncertainty that I have ever had to. If she can't get to her asp or if somebody also has a weapon then the situation quickly devolves into that unfortunate circumstance of women (generally) being much physically weaker/smaller than men. (And that's not to say that women are never perpetrators of violence, either, it just doesn't fit into the context of what I'm talking about.)
Anyway, I manage pretty well, thanks for asking.

You do realize using an asp against someone significantly stronger than you is basically going "hey you weren't going to beat me hard enough, let me hand you this blunt weapon so you can do it better!"

You literally described that you'd have annoying semi-random spawns if you died so no it's preferable to not be killed. You played on a PVP server, if you don't want to PVP pick a pve server, that's literally what the difference is.

Seeing as how you love to extend video game experiences into real-life metaphors, would you say there's a difference IRL between being robbed and pistol whipped and being slain where you stand?
1 Crusader_1096 2018-06-03
Both you and your gf are retarded. Her carrying around an asp isn't going to do shit besides piss an attacker off even more. She doesn't have the strength to defend herself physically so you really think a metal bar is going to do much more for her? Fucking idiots.
1 serial_crusher 2018-06-03
> as a fairly big/strong dude myself I'm unlikely to have a violent encounter in the first place
From my own anecdotal experiences that works the other way around. Plenty of asshole tough guys out there who will start and escalate a fight with another big dude, but wouldn't dare hurt a woman.
Of course, we're talking about a video game here so I have a hard time believing anybody involved in the story is actually a "big strong dude".
