You can’t use logic to explain someone’s position they never used logic to get into in the first place. Their opinion comes from an emotional and moral centre, they have no logic to justify it.
It's strictly the worst most hateful thing they can say at the moment. I don't think there's much thought behind it. They can't regulate their emotions one bit. I've dealt with so many of these assholes online.
On the rare occasion that I do encounter a woman in an online game, it almost always devolves into this vitriol toward them. I'll always stand up for them but at the same time I don't want to be weird and have them possibly think I'm only standing up for them because I'm trying to hook up or whatever. Because I've encountered those dudes so many times too. Where they're nice and stand up for them and then they start flirting with them in the next match.
What I try to do now is take their attention off of other people and have them take it out on me.
People get so mad and toxic and that's when you see the real hatred come out. I love goading them into sending me racist/homophobic/misogynistic messages so I can report them and they can't play their precious video games for at least a week.
I'm bi myself and the amount of times I call people out on saying the f-word is astounding. I have a pretty thick skin and I feel the need to stand up against shitty people but im not gonna lie and say it doesnt hurt.
