I am pleasantly surprised you’ve actually backed your point. Not sure why you’d need to ruin your credibility beforehand, but at least part of these seems legit, and the primary sources seem to be different. You literally could avoid being seen like an idiot if you just did this from the start.
So:
I admit I was wrong about the initial rejection of your claim
The only reason I was initially dismissive is because you didn’t provide the sources but instead started the pointless argument about my worldview, so I hope you’ll be able to accept that reason, if not forgive me for that
I’m actually interested in whether there’s any definitive conclusions about the reasons behind this disparity. As in nature vs nurture, or part of both?
I still don’t accept that the reaction time disparity is the reason or even a significant contributor to women being less prominent in gaming. That one is still on the rampant sexism in the industry, and these studies don’t contradict that. Like, there’s plenty of games that don’t need lightning fast reaction time even at the highest level of play, and where strategy and prediction matters a lot more.
I’m pleasantly surprised you accepted it. I guess I’m still used to other parts of the internet where people are a lot worse than they are here.
But yeah, through my other experiences I’ve learnt to not give someone evidence until they tell me what evidence they will actually accept, as it’s the best method to counter people moving goalpost. And you saying any sources I might have would be biased put me in that mode.
But hey, all’s well that ends well and no hard feelings dude. And I’m sorry for being a dick.
From what I’ve read theres a couple educated guesses people make but very little in terms of actual study on what causes the difference.
Yeah that’s fair, but I can’t think of many eSports where reaction times don’t st least play a part, and at the highest levels, even a small disadvantage can make a big difference. But it’s certainly not the only factor and sexism is probably a bigger problem
