If you were one of the sexist @ssholes involved please do me a favor and boldly sign below(gamer tags too). Show everyone here your true colors. The rest of us can use the list to block you so we never have reason to come across you again.
The same goes for the racists, bigots and homophobes hiding amongst us; I and many others like me are not interested in gaming or associating with you.
Thank you.

Edited by JHarv: 7/30/2015 9:12:26 PMMy girl and I game together a lot, especially PvE content. Yesterday, we did a VoG fresh clear. I took the back left oracle during that phase, I solo ran the relic and blocked all Templar ports, I solo one of the Gatekeepers, and then on Atheon I picked up the relic once when only 2 of us were ported and still shot oracles while dropping the relic, picking it up to cleanse, and so on. Needless to say, I'm a strong player. She's also a very good player, but more of a team player. I tend to run relics and do all the tougher stuff, she supports and follows my lead. It's a really nice way to raid, and we get along so well. She chats a lot, she's funny, she's playful and outspoken, she has a great personality. Yet at the end of every single raid, she gets 2-3 friend requests often with comments about her beautiful laugh or cute smilies saying people want to play with her again, and I get nothing. Now, This isn't a complaint about me not receiving credit for what I do. It's really just to make the point that girls receive so much unwanted attention just for existing, whereas guys might have every reason to stand out, but still don't. This is something that needs to change. You might think you're being sweet to a girl for leaving a cute comment, but really you're doing it because you want to flirt with a girl, not because you're trying to be kind. Otherwise, you'd probably message a guy about his strong game play too. Most girls can't even raid without having half the group somehow try to court them in some weird online sort of way. Hundreds of messages later, it must be exhausting. She tells me all about it and how she has to block creeps, regularly. How she can't even just hang out and talk because it'll lead to comments about being a girl on a video game, where are you from, lets chat after, facebook, snapchat, and so on. I'll end the rant by saying this. Lets stop being creeps to girls because they're girls. If you want to be friends and game more, that's awesome! But requesting personal info and sending cutesy flirty messages because you happened to be in a raid with one is not cool. It only makes them want to isolate themselves even more. We should embrace girls in gamer nation, not give them reasons to want to avoid it.
