As a game culture researcher, I find this narrative incredibly harmful. It suggests that misogyny in online game spaces is simply an issue of some individual low-skill male players and not a pervasive part of the culture. The study explicitly rejects social explanations in favour of evolutionary psychology ones, which are favourites among bad science journalists, who prefer simple explanations over complicated ones.
