Trans women were raised as though they were male, and video games are traditionally considered a thing for guys to be into. Throw in the easy escapism aspect and social isolation parts to avoid confronting their identity throughout their life until they finally do transition, and it's fairly obvious.

I would speculate that introverts might be more prone to issues with their identity or alternatively people who have issues around their identity might be more prone to introversion, and then introverts are going to be way more likely to game intensely as a hobby.

But that's just speculation.

I know why but I can't explain it without someone getting offended.

Haven't really noticed any. Why is this anything someone would be concerned about?

trans people in games' communities are either loathed or loved, there's very little in-between, so i'd imagine that (generally) introverted non-chad gamers desperately want to feel like they're a part of something and the you-can-do-no-wrong attitude of some of those communities is appealing to them

echo chambers are bad tho

The LAPD have reminded me of my color my whole life. I'm good, though.

Have you considered that it's not that someone would be offended, rather that it is offensive, and probably false?

Just because you find something offensive doesn't mean its false. Some people find anything about this offensive, like you probably.

Those are hostile to any who isn't super far left.

Are there any speed runners who support Trump?

90% of the GoldenEye community seems like it

Or at least they welcome total trash into their community anyways

I would venture to say that for all its bluster, there's sub-communities of gaming, especially speedrunning, that are far more inclusive and accepting than "outside" society.

I don't know. Must be harder to feign outrage about protecting the women and children

I'd speculate, but I'd rather let a transwoman answer that (which we do not lack on CE). I do think that the gaming community trending towards diversity maybe makes it easier to be more open. Although there is a terrible subset of gamers that makes it harder

Its because they stand out to you. I bet if you honestly did the numbers you would notice that they are a small amount of the community.
