There's been sort of a controversy lately about women in gaming, partially due to the Feminist Frequency YouTube channel that discusses supposed sexism rampant in the video games and the industry. There seems to be a lot of animosity between male and female gamers, and unfortunately people on both sides have resorted to vicious insults/dirty tactics and pretty much have made the entire gaming community look bad in the process.

Well, JonTron (of Game Grumps) made a very stark observation about this debate:

I really hope that he was being sarcastic when he wrote that.

We need to stop demoralizing each other and find compromise to this issue, and just play games together. I think gamers in general are taking their hobby too seriously and get back to the basics of gaming; enjoyment.

I've always been a JonTron fan but this shows a whole new side of him.

This.

Also, his best material can be seen on his channel, not the GameGrumps channel.

@jedixman:

I think Jon and Egoraptor were funnier as a pair, but now since Jon and basically come out and say he supports some extremely radical Japanese feminist's worldview is laughable.

I highly doubt he was being serious. Considering the reference, it was likely a joke.

I don't think anybody else is actually taking this terribly seriously, either.

Sorry I don't find the oppression of people based on their sex funny.

I think you need to agree to disagree before this fight gets worse.

I wish we could all get along like we used to in Middle School...I wish we could all play video games together and not argue, and I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy...

Part of the problem is the developers themselves.

There is a degree of sexism in video games, but really it isn't something exclusive video games. Movies too. Any entertainment medium has had it's share of sexism.
