Hey, I’m a researcher and I’ve written a summary of this study that I usually share when this study pops up. You can find the summary [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/s/W97thwltZx), along with some comments on the idea of follow-up studies versus GDPR, and some good ol’ fashioned anecdotes of people relating to the findings.
It goes deeper than that, and has sociological and economic roots.
I explain more about that in a comment I made on a similar thread, where I linked to a YouTube playlist that has content that addresses the root causes:
Evolutionary psychology is quackery tho. I wouldn’t trust their conclusions if they paid me. Even worse is suggesting that good ol’ misogyny is some kind of engrained evolutionary behaviour that has to do with some “higher/lower status” BS, instead of social and learned.
To be fair, misogyny is also a MISOGYNY issue.
Here’s an article about the study this is based on, with sources:
Study: Low status men more likely to bully women online

More like misogyny is an empathy and lack of mental development issue.

It is an issue of “mad cuz bad” but it’s also an issue of them being misogynists. It’s not an excuse.
Have seen this several times here xP
Evolutionary psychology is still pseudoscience even when it’s turned against the misogynists who often tout it. Don’t give it an in.
Gamer boys came be lame losers without there needing to be a “tribal living” justification for th at behavior

Cool study, though. Even if the situation isn’t cool.
misogynists need to git gud.
clearly I married a high-skilled male gamer lol 😂
Even “high skilled” and “high status” men can be misogynistic, so it’s definitely a lot more than a skill issue unfortunately
I should find the time to update that wikipedia article with new studies…
I agree. This is the best gaming fact.
Submissively was probably an editorial change to the actual study lmol

So they are submissive with other men??? They’re gay bottoms confirmed
I mean this has been common knowledge for a very long time 😂😂
Idk if the 2000s “dont be a loser man” is really the antidode for sexism.
this is why I only open my mic when I’m top fragging in match point rounds 😭😭😭😭😭
