Something of this attitude speaks to the phenomenon of intense solidarity found in various social enclaves.... It's always been interesting to me just how tribal virtual cultures are. There is a constant paranoia of homogeneity from a lot of fronts. The more or less sci-fi idea that technology / globalisation etc. will turn us all into mindless copies... This has truth, but it turns out, only on localized scales (virtually local...). Has been called the echo chamber effect, I suppose. Virtual tribes, decentralized, anonymized, viciously defensive of their virtual ilk, at least symbolically. Putting the specifics of people's various bigotries aside, I wonder, honestly, in an abstract sense, what will come of all of this? Is cross-talk between enclaves even possible? Which direction is this going? People are getting lonlier in the physical world, and more intense in virtual space. "Meatspace" becomes... perhaps less violent, slowly, slowly, slowly... will the short-sightedness and "violence" of the virtual space be alleviated? Does anyone actually want this?

Yg Masin, I will take pity on your poor ass and clue you in what you're doing wrong. First, don't spam. Post once, don't fucking make
Three.

In a row.
Now, the reason why you're not being taken seriously is because your tryhard pseudo-intellectualism and insecurity-fueled verbosity is painfully transparent and pathetic. And because your armchair philosophizing about paranoid tribalist enclaves (Fucking seriously? You stupid fuck.) shows what a hypocritical twit you are right after your little speech about the need for "basic acceptance, humility, empathy." Hell, even in that post you were being a hypocrite with your ludicrous assertions about disagreement being rooted in fragile egos, fear of the world ending, etc. You were being a right little condescending shit. And that wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the two-faced way you go about it - your inability to take your own advice about humility and empathy. Also, you make pathetic attempts to show how "in" you are by shoehorning shitty off-base references. All of this makes us pretty fucking disinclined to take you seriously.
Now to answer your question why we don't "play nice" in so many words: It's because we like saying what's on our minds, we like hearing others say what they think of us to our face, stupidity deserves no respect, criticism will make you stronger, and if you're the kind of emotionally fragile person who needs to be mollycoddled, then that is your developmental failure as a human being, not society's failure for not catering to your whims.
Now talk like a normal fucking human being and say what's actually on your mind if you want any hope of being taken seriously.

Hey I'm glad I at least got a few people's attentions. Honestly wasn't expecting that much. Believe it or not, I was trying to be as honest as I could be, albeit trying probably a bit too hard.
I am trying to address the blatant transphobia present in this thread, that seems to me to be feuled by insecurity (right back atcha) and groupthink bullshit. Why are so many dudes in gamer culture such hateful little shits?

Most gamers have a heart and don't want to see people waste money on expensive treatments that don't actually work and worse, leave them in a worse state of suffering because they are permanantly deprived of one of the most basic sources of pleasure for humans AND still have their mental problems untreated.
It's people like you, who will gladly send people to their death for votes/the ability to feel good about yourself in some sick depraved fashion, who are the little shits.

Most humans make absolute decisions, coming firmly down on end or the other of an issue which is truly more likely solved with probabilistic/statistical reasoning. It has obvious evolutionary advantages for an individual or a culture to come down hard and fast in all sorts of situations. People hate what is different from them because that is what has worked best up until this point. If you believe that you can succeed or even excel with whatever reasoning you feel is objectively better, start outbreeding the hateful and do what you can to ensure your descendents do, too. Otherwise, what you represent will simply fade from this world while the hateful little shits continue to fill it with 'wrongness'.
I somehow don't see the progressive tribe taking up this rallying cry anytime soon, and though transgenderism is but a mere symptom of a far more general decadence and excess, this self-defeating, flabby, weak culture is what the 'hateful shits' in this thread are disgusted with and not necessarily this individual. As Jaesun alludes to, there have been a couple pretty well-liked transgendered people posting here over the years.
As for your assertion that this hate is more prevalent in the set of gamers than any other random sampling of people, prove it.
