#18 An Examination of Gender Disparity in LoL in Off Topic

ReerowhymeobotmodeWhoops, I misinterpreted the argument, but my point about people like Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby still stand. Those players didn't succeed in the MLB due to a change in social stigma, as they were still discriminated against in their careers. They just played the game and did it well enough to eventually be accepted.

As stated before,we should work on changing the social climate with female results. If females practice and enter invite-level on Their own, the negative stigma will disappear, just like it did in the 50s in the MLB.

#11 An Examination of Gender Disparity in LoL in Off Topic

ReeroNot saying the trend doesn't exist, just that bad social treatment of a minority doesn't make them worse at something.

the paper actually agrees with that statement

As explored in Study 1 and supported by Study 2, many female players may be compelled, pressured, or otherwise directed toward playing the Support role that, though requiring no less competence than other in in-game roles (and arguably more), is nonetheless seen by many players as subordinate to, and less desirable than, the role of ADC.

the paper mostly points out that the lack of females in (competitive) video games at any skill level (this is almost assuredly different at top level, just as it is for every sport) has nothing to do with actual skill levels and instead is caused by some other factors and in the conclusion conjectures that it's possibly due to the negative atmosphere in video games towards women.

#8 An Examination of Gender Disparity in LoL in Off Topic

Reerowhymeo
"Two other factors, which likely contribute to the systematic gender gap in competitive games as a whole, are the social climate that is hostile to females, and the stereotype that females do not belong in, or are not skilled at, the game.

These factors likely hinder the female players from gaining confidence in the game, much as reminders of a negative stereotype induce people associated with that stereotype to conform to the negative expectation (Steele & Aronson, 1995). In other words, many female League players may face a vicious cycle by believing that they are suitable only for Support roles or, more problematically, that they do not belong in the game, female players may refrain from intensive play and/or experimentation with other game roles, which in turn perpetuates these very stereotypes."
Jackie Robinson is considered one of the best baseball players ever yet he was literally physically abused and faced some of the most harsh discrimination/treatment of any baseball player ever. He joined the Dodgers despite being hated by almost everyone in baseball and went on to win a World Series.

?????

yes but before him what African American players were there in MLB ???
Jackie Robinson broke the trend, that doesn't mean the trend didn't exist.

trippaas long as turbovirgins continue to carry girls on support for paying attention to them online, that will always be the lower effort road than actually improving their gameplay

this has literally nothing to do with what the paper is about.
