I'm a girl. Personally, I've been attacked just because I'm a girl. It's whatever. I've been around Xbox for 6 years. There isn't anything I haven't heard. We pretty much just look over the negative ones. I've had a few people not want to raid with me because "really guys, that's a girl. You know she's going to suck"

  • would you as a girl say most girls suck? its a funny thing, gaming was a nerd thing that girls hated and made fun of for about 30 years then in about 2007 suddenly girls wanted in due to all the geek chic trendy crap and expect to be on the same playing field with life long gamers. for the most part, they suck. true story. no hate intended. im sure there are many that can hold their own.

  • No I would not say most girls suck. The only thing that is "wrong" with girls is we are loud

  • Speaking as a girl who has been gaming since 1990, this comment is ridiculous. Most girls you come across in the gaming scene aren't "that girl". Get over the stereotype.

  • I find it very wierd that girl gamers are viewed differently then guy gamers. Wtf does it matter, bc I have a dick I'm immediately better at a video game then a set of tits? Idk, to me it's just wierd. I don't come across many girl gamers but when I do I find them to be cooperative and nonchalant. That's really all I ask when trying to complete a team based event.

    I hate that "girls suck" stereotype. I think it comes from that time in like 2005 or whatever when a bunch of girls were playing COD and screaming "omg the cake is a lie!!XD". Those aren't real gamers imo. However, the same can be said for a lot of guys. Playing NBA2K14 earns you about as much respect as those god awful "gamer gurlz" who probably just convinced 50% of male gamers that all women suck at video games. Anyways, I know I kind of rambled, but my point is that anyone can be good at games or be a complete noob, regardless of gender. In fact, I prefer playing with women. They tend to be a lot more laid back and actually nice compared to some of the guys I play with. I think that's because they have to deal with legions of crybaby neckbeards who call everyone a fag and think that they're god. Also, the percentage of skilled female gamers to noob female gamers is actually a lot better than that of guys, out of those that I've met. TL;DR: female gamers tend to be more skilled and more fun to play with than guy gamers, based off of my experience.

    Without being a white knight people who do that are just scum or lack intelligence anyway. They'd behave that way to any dude or any chick because they just like to be scum. Gender doesn't have an impact on what you play like, it's what's your goal for gaming is. If you are a female casual gamer id anticipate you being bad the same way id feel about a male casual gamer. If you got 6 years on you at least deserve the right to present your skills. Considering good players already put up with the worst skilled players in the community. I find females have less of a tendency for being stuck up then male gamers are in this game. You can actually joke with them more about random shit then dudes.

  • Thats lame you wind up with idiots in your fireteam, I've always had guys be super stoked to play with me especially when they find out I can hold my own and don't need special treatment or for them to carry me through raids. If you ever want a girlfriend to play with and you're on Xbox one you can add me all my raid buddies are super nice
