You sound extremely immature. I’ve been following this discussion, and while fair points have been made on each side, you’ve been getting progressively more personal and insulting. The comment above crossed the line. There’s no reason to be rude.
@COMBATxKITTY has been fairly diplomatic about this, admitting that Summit didn’t title the video. She said she’ll watch more videos and give the guy a chance. That’s fair. I personally agree with her that the guy is trolling and harassing people. I also agree that female gamers have enough to cope with without being targeted as they were in the video. It doesn’t matter that Summit also harasses male gamers. In that particular video it was female gamers, and this just adds to the culture of sexism that unfortunately still pervades video games in 2019. Granted, most offenders seem to be young, immature men...but that doesn’t excuse the behavior. Some of the things these males say and do to women in games is despicable. You wouldn’t know how bad it can get unless you played a female character for some length of time. I can’t repeat some of the things I’ve heard said to women in games in this forum. But I assure you, sexism is alive and kicking in the 21st century. Those who choose to deny that fact are likely part of the problem.
As for Summit, maybe he is an equal opportunity troll. But then, that really shouldn’t let him off the hook, should it? From the videos I’ve seen, the guy is just a jerk, plain and simple. The fact that he trolls males as well as females doesn’t make it okay.
