Some of it is women's lib-type crap, when people wouldn't probably care as much if you don't scream it at the top of your lungs. I don't, and people generally don't give 2 craps, but some do anyway, and probably always will.

 

[andymcc]

In fact, I would quite honestly say she is a perfect embodiment of a "girl gamer" in that she acts like an immature girl.

shut the fuck up

Exactly :lol

People likes to give too much attention to jackasses like her, and that's what she wants.

The worst thing to happen to modern society. I don't care if it is sexist I hold the *expletive deleted*ing door for a woman, I pull out her chair, and I am damn well going to be a gentleman.

Sure, that doesn't show equality, but I am not beating my wife at home, I am being a gentleman.

The point of this rant? I have actually, LITERALLY, been yelled at for this. WHEN I WAS ABOUT TEN... In front of my fn mother!

Edit:

shut the fuck up

Did you read the rest of my post? Did you? Because you'd notice I also made the comment. Just like immature guys I call "boys" and not men, it works like that. Selective quoting a genius makes you does not.

You're expecting too much of them. In fact, it is a decline in literacy in the world due to the "speed" in which messages are sent. Maybe its because I studied post secondary English but I couldn't imaging breaking that grammatical rule.

They're just making themselves a target...kind of like I guess how you did with your new tag.

This thread is FUCKING nice. I bet women on the forum FUCKING LOVE reading this FUCKING thread and hearing about your friend. I bet they feel FUCKING great!

You should've told me you'd use caps instead of cursive so we could've done it synchronized.

Now that one is just cold, very very cold

i'm sorry you had mommy issues, but that doesn't excuse your severely retarded world view.

It isn't a retarded world view, I am discussing the people who fight a fight that doesn't need to be fought anymore. Being a gentleman does not make me a sexist, its a good thing as far as I am concerned.

There are girls out there who can lift more weight than I can, run faster than I can, who have done millions of things I could never dream of. There are girls out there who can play video games so well that I would seem like I had never touched one in my life compared to them.

And I can still hold a damn door for them.

 

[devilhawk]

It seems she either wants you and is acting out to cover or is some mean psycho who doesn't seem to be very friendly and worth keeping around.

So with either outcome it seems you win.

[Hypereides]

She sounds like a hoot :lol

What a bitch

 

[Mohonky]

Sounds like a complete bitch to me. Not sure why you would consider someone that conceded a friend personally. I'd have told her to go fuck herself.

if you're going to go out of your way to treat a female that you don't know any differently just because of their gender, well, i don't know what to say other than good luck pal.

Tbh he probably holds the door for guys too. Should he just stop altogether?

 

[Timedog]

Mother fuckers told me I'd have to use cursive in college. Too bad they got FUCK REJECTED like Mugsy Bogues driving the lane on Hakeem Olajuwon

 

[lsslave]

Tbh he probably holds the door for guys too. Should he just stop altogether?

lol sort of, I mean I am polite to my elders in that way, if its just a guy friend I don't really care, but I do hold the door for guys as well that is true.

I still call senior men "sir" and watch my language around seniors. I don't even care if they swear, they have lived long enough to not hear my foul mouth :lol

 

[Alfarif]

Tbh he probably holds the door for guys too. Should he just stop altogether?

I just held the door for some dude at work I've only seen in passing like twice. Should I just let that shit slam in people's faces?

As ettiquette goes, I hold the door for women longer than I do men, and I typically let the woman go first, even if I don't know her, whereas I will release the door as soon as the guy reaches out to grab it. Why? Probably because it was the way I was raised. Guess what? I bow to my wife when it comes to all types of shit that has nothing to do with domestics, and I treat her as a complete equal, and wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes being nice and courteous is just being nice and fucking courteous. But as the old saying goes: hatersgonnahate.gif

 

[Tamanon]

You can't take shit talk from a girl?

I mean, hell even I've called other gamers losers and I own both Ar Tonelicos! It's kinda a meaningless term, but you see all sorts of stuff at midnight lines. When I was at the ones for the two WoW expansions it was about 50% normal working folks, perfectly well-adjusted and about 50% dregs of the earth shut-ins.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

My girlfriend's a gamer and is not a bitch. Lose that "friend". She's a bitch.

 

[hteng]

is she hot though?

 

[i_am_ben]

i find the whole "gamer" outrage to be exceptionally silly. You see it a lot on Kotaku and the Gaming side where people get their knickers in a knot that there are websites catering to female/gay/black video gamers. I don't know whether its bigotry or some mislead homogeneous ideal of video gamers but its very weird.

To be fair, it's kinda understandable for gaymers to at least have an alternative out there, considering the latent homophobia in a lot of the newer generation of gamers. There are sites that cater to groups of people for everything, there's male-centric sites and female-centric sites for almost anything.

There is nothing typical about that OP. This ain't a girl / guy gamer thing, this is a teenage angst thing.

It sounds a lot like she's in Egypt and she fell out of her boat.

[Mik2121]

Woah, woah! Wait..

Holding a door for a female is now bad? :S I hold the door for both males and females, and if a female holds the door for me I always let them get in first (if it's a guy I don't do anything, just walk in).

What kind of fucked up world is this?

 

[Koshiba]

She just sounds retarded, I haven't ever really heard of this type of person being all that common thankfully.

I think it's the pedestal that these niche groups often want themselves to be put on. It's less like "treat us the same because we're women" but "worship us because we're women".

I mean, seriously, can a girl clan not have a website without black and white sexy studio shots of themselves and dumb fucking questionnaires with questions like "what's your favourite sex position?"

And then when you play them, they are always causing drama "My boyfriend Craig runs this server! I'll kick you!" and getting upset because people are hitting on them. "Why can't you treat us like normal people?" Because fuck you, that's why.

I'm all for equality. Always. But if you go out of your way to prove that you're different and should be treated like you're special, you're going to get people taking shots at you. If you call your clan [FR@G-F@GS] or some shit to signify you're all gay, don't get too upset when people start calling you a faggot.

 

[wRATH2x]

It has to do with sexuality, and you have to understand that while it may seem like its such a big deal it actually has to do with the suffering that gamers, especially those who grew up in the 80s/early 90s, suffered for it.

Gaming is mainstream now, its cool, etc. and there is a current sexism in the industry against women. A semi attractive female makes a game (Assassins Creed) and its a big deal. It is the same thing for girls who play games, even though I find it shocking because I have never had a girlfriend who didn't play video games.

The problem is, back when I was gaming as a kid, it wasn't the "cool" thing to do. I was ridiculed for it, I was made fun of it, and the girls didn't understand why I did it.

Being that I was completely addicted to RPGs as a kid I tried to explain to them that it was like a visual storybook that I got to take part in, which still didn't make sense because I spent the majority of my young life in small towns where advancing in literacy was a death sentence to any chance of popularity.

Its funny because to this day I am introducing many of my female friends (I tend to prefer the company of females over males) to gaming but I have never actually had a relationship with a girl who doesn't game. Still, I will never forget growing up and being ridiculed for my hobby (acceptable gaming among guys was "Mario Kart" at the most advanced level)

I know there is that current stigma of sexism, but you have to remember at a time little girls made fun of little boys for playing games, especially more advanced games than Mario (which is essentially beloved by anyone who gives it a chance) and it has nothing to do with you as a person or your gender.



Now onto a response to the OP, whenever dealing with someone like that you simply tell them "enjoy the video game, while you're spending 9 months with a baby in you, then you will need something like that to entertain you. And on that note, its kind of sad that you have so little self esteem and are so humiliated to enjoy yourself that you have to make fun of other people for enjoying something even more than you apparently do. I truly hope you one day learn to respect yourself, until then you can keep your little secret hobby like a private diary."

I don't remember being ridiculed because I play games. Everybody my age played games when I was younger, the majority still do. Hell people were sucking my cock because I owned both a PS1 and a 64.

 

[Brobzoid]

The only people who are ridiculed for their hobbies are the ones who live and breathe it. Sorry to hear that you lack social intelligence lsslave.

There's been this weird backlash from some posters here in the past about holding the door, as if it is sexist instead of polite. I ignore 'em, it's just folks who don't understand a dying art.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

is she hot tho? post pics.

 

[Binabik15]

Want to see something really sad?

Try a tabletop wargaming forum where half the board goes into drooling or bootlicking mode as soon as someone says "I´m a girl". Really, it´s embarassing. And on top of that it often turns the girls into real bitches, always expecting to be treated better than everyone else.

Good thing I only play this stuff with my brother.

OP, as soon as she played the "well, I do have sex you loser, lol lol" card you should have ended the conversation, I mean to you really let people talk to you like that?

Edit: fistful, she´s old enough to buy MW2, I don´t think you´d like her.

Spoiler

Just admit that you´re a cool guy at heart and leave your silly gaf persona behind, it´s getting boring.

 

[antiloop]

That means she likes you.

what happened to natalie

 

[itxaka]

me: Hey whats up?
her: im in line with all your loser friends
me: what?
her: i just paid for my call of duty box set
me: oh cool.
her: now i know what your loser self goes through to get a game
me: you do realize your waiting in line right now for a game while im at home right?
her: yeah but yove done this in the past and your still a loser

All the while she would talk shit on guys who played wow. Never understood why, but shed be like, these people are all losers (while shed be in battlegrounds...)

wow, seems like a nice girl. I think she has an inferiority issue if she goes spouting "loser" to everyone even you, her "friend"

How does she react when beated on any game? I expect her to be like one of those 12 year old chavs on xblive :lol
