Right, and what the commenters are saying, along with yourself, is that it is ok to degrade others as long as it's "their turn." The patriarchy has been in power for too long, we better hate all men just to be safe. Wouldn't want to miss any of the bad ones, so we'll blame all of them for our problems.
That's generalization. That's the enemy. If you want to hate against exclusivity in gaming, you can't generalize by saying something like the op screenshot. Instead, you would replace "men" with "soulsbourne gatekeepers." If that doesn't have the same weight as what the screenshot originally said, then you should look at what was changed and why it made you feel a certain way. Bias is a bitch, and it goes hand in hand with generalization. When you generalize, as the screenshot did, it's bringing a shotgun to an archery range. Sure, you'll hit the target, but you aren't doing it right.
