I have been thinking about why there is such a difference between two groups of gamers.  You have the Hawaiian Libertarian Neo-Marxist, Deansdale, etc. group who are convinced of every conspiracy theory our there and even some they made up on their own since they must believe everyone but them is involved in one of the conspiracies they believe in.  Then you have Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Tech, The Fifth Horseman, Ferdinand Bardamu, Roissy, etc. who despite their misguided belief in game are on the level and don’t buy into conspiracy theory shit.  I asked myself why is there these two separate groups.  I may have an answer.  Marriage.

This is a working hypothesis to better understand the difference between those gamers that are conspiracy theory nuts and those that aren’t.  I doubt it’s true in every single case.  But it may be true in most.  (There is also the problem of the unmarried guys being convinced of conspiracy theories by the married guys so it will never be an exact match.)  Conspiracy theories don’t have to just be of the “the Federal Reserve is out to get us” like Hawaiian Libertarian Neo-Marxist, Deansdale, and others believeMarried gamer Athol Kay believes MRAs are out to destroy marriages and that is a conspiracy theory too.

There are also unique cases like Obsidian but his “conspiracy theories” aren’t the standard set of conspiracy theories.  Obsidian’s “conspiracy theories” are the standard black racism of “whitey is out to get me”.  It is likely that he is a member of the Nation of Islam and belives in the bullshit NOI theology of Yakub who created a “white race of devils” (white people) 6000 years ago.  Obsidian’s conspiracy theories are explained by factors not relevant to his false beliefs in game.  I have to ask if Obsidian’s belief in game made him more susceptible to NOI bullshit.  Probably or it was the other way around.

Why are the married gamers like this?  There are aspects of being keyboard jockeys and internet tough guys and just being able to say, “I’m better than you” but that isn’t the whole story.  It isn’t unique to married gamers either.  The married gamers discovered the complete and total disaster with no escape modern marriage is for men and they can’t deal with it.  Rather than admit they made a mistake they try to justify their actions by calling on game.  They blame some far off external entity instead of the real problem, their wives and women in general.  Whether its the Rockefellers, the Federal Reserve, MRAs, the Illuminati, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Ben Bernacke, lizard aliens, etc. doesn’t matter.  Each of these groups is far away (or nonexistent) and any motive or action can be ascribed to them.  The person that will really destroy their lives is right there next to them, their wives.  Each one of the married gamers believes that game will save him from divorce.  This is bullshit and when the first of the married gamers gets finanacially (or otherwise) ass raped in a divorce it will be proven bullshit.  Their wives may be planning a divorce against them right now.  Their religious belief in game is preventing the married gamers from accurately observing their wives if their wives are planning a divorce.  Instead they are more concerned with some far off (or nonexistent) group they believe that’s out to get them.  I am certain that the married gamers this will happen to will blame someone else besides their wives to avoid the fact that they are manginas.

Even if you believe game exists consider this question.  How do you know what the married gamers is accurate?  They will tell you how “game saved their marriage” or how “game protects them against divorce”.  What is their evidence for this?  They aren’t divorced yet.  The reason why they aren’t divorced yet may be any one of a million reasons unrelated to game.  Their wives are already married to them so their wives being with them right now is proof of nothing.  The unmarried guys like Roissy, Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Tech, Ferdinand Bardamu, The Fifth Horseman, etc. have to actually attract women.  They have to produce real results.  If you are an unmarried man the married gamers can’t tell you anything since none of their game is actually about attracting a woman.  The married gamers can only give you bullshit and this will not help you unmarried men get the real results you want.  Roissy, Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Tech, Ferdinand Bardamu, The Fifth Horseman, etc. are not interested in wasting their time with conspiracy theory bullshit.  They want to get laid and they have to deal with the real world to accomplish their goal.  While my working hypothesis may not be always true, this is why I think it at least in part explains why some gamers are conspiracy theorists and some aren’t.
