An article on racing sims by a male that is a radical feminist.
What a party.
Mocking an article linking driving games to inadequacy
Tim O linked a games-site article arguing that driving games appeal to male insecurity. Posters responded mostly with crude jokes, some noting the article was about console games, not sims, and others dismissing it as bait for web hits.

Thanks for clearing that one up John ;)
I used to have a HUGE one, but playing racing games left me little time for
boffing, so--use it or lose it--it shriveled up, turned black, and fell off.

He barely even mentions "simulators". He's talking about console
games, and everyone knows that console gamers have small dicks (I
think Sega published a study about it).

You should have done what I do and drive with one hand on the wheel and
one hand down your boxers.

I know that you sim freaks like to drive with a manual stick but don't you
think this is carrying things a bit far.

Just a guy trying to find some special metaphore for people's interest in
racing.... sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...
Reminds me of one of my french teacher who thought the opening sequence of
the first Indiana Jones movie was a metaphore for the birth of a heroe...
I think it's fair to say that we love sim racing because of our competitive
nature (specially when racing online) and our love for the sport in the
first place. He we followed his thinking, we could consider people that play
NHL hockey as people wanting to play the role of NHL super stars but didn't
have the ability to the it in the real world. I'd say I play it with my
buddies simply for fun :)
Anyway, I guess the guy had a lot of time to waste between Christmas and New
Years :)

Well said.
There is another clue in the last sentence:
"...but unless the gaming community insists on watching our hobby with
rigorous academic interest..."
Why would we want to spend our time doing that?
We could pay rigorous academics for that.
I would assume that most in the "gaming community" prefer more
useful pursuits during their leisure hours. Nor do we get
paid for err, "stuff" like that article.
Some more reasons the "mainsteam press" has yet to attack
racing video games, and also forces that would continue to
reduce such interest:
The racing genre has a higher proportion of
low rated games than any genre I can think of except those
specifically targeted to children's education.
(That is: non-violent, non-sexual, not-even-any-tobacco-advertising,
etc. Gee, we even provide an environmentally safe alternative to
polluting activities :)
Professional and amateur racing has millions of fans world wide.
The advertising budgets for products tied into racing that
are advertised in the mainstream press are appropriately large.
Companies are beginning to exploit that market through
advertising using racing games. Connect the dots.
In the industry, we can tsk-tsk games on the outer fringe that
might bring adverse attention. But mostly to position
our own titles as being cleaner and more wholesome. ;)

Thank you!
The sim vs. game posters kind of missed the point, I think.
He was saying everyone that plays driving games basically does so
because they have delusions of grandeur. In fact, if you race sims,
you might even be worse because you're taking it more seriously.
I told him that was kind of a silly assumption to make, and compared
it to him writing editorial for a web magazine because he has
delusions of writing for the Wall Street Journal.
It just struck me as really pretentious and condescending.
I hate that.
I've always wondered about something...
I've never used a 5 point harness, but when you hit something wearing one of
those, doesn't it, um, hurt like hell?
I remember Mark Martin had a wreck several years ago (the one where he went
whizzing through the infield and hit that fence at the end of his ride. It
was obvious during the TV interview that he injured his 'marbles' in the
process.

Correlation does not imply causation ;)...
Actually I haven't bothered to read it since it seems to be just
fishing for web hits.
