You're operating in an environment with a huge teenage population. You're also operating in an environment with a huge nerdy virgin population. You're also operating in an environment that provides a fair amount of anonymity.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
I'm in no way justifying their actions, but if I walked into a PETA convention in full camo with my bow I should expect to catch some shit.
You're either a gamer or you're not. There's no need to supplement that with male or female.

Nah.. just say your there for the Crysis 3 convention... :)
-
Man, if that were true than I took a wrong turn somewhere on my way to the Crysis 3 conventions...
-
Ahem.. we all know why you got "lost" on the way to the Crysis 3 convention. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3157442/Courtney-Stodden-arrives-Comic-wearing-body-paint-promotes-PETA.html And we approve of you lack of direction.

Edited by El Jefe: 10/21/2015 7:18:53 PMYou're either a person or not. No need to supplement that with black, white, brown, yellow, red, or green. Yet people do, sexism is real and is rampant in the gaming community. Being a nerd or virgin is a status not an excuse nor a reason.

I'm not going to be dragged into an existential debate. I also said the following: [quote]I'm in no way justifying their actions[/quote] So, what the hell are you talking about? Some people don't want to take responsibility for putting themselves in bad situations. Just like my PETA analogy, I'm responsible for putting myself there. However, that doesn't give PETA any right to eviscerate me, verbally or literally.

Edited by El Jefe: 10/21/2015 7:31:27 PMYou sir are a -blam!-ing moron. As you stated, you cannot knowingly go to a PETA convention wearing hunting gear and not expect to be insulted or even attacked. Your comparison however is way off. A PETA convention is meant for people of like minds. Your post suggests gaming is for men. Stereotypes exist for racism and or discrimination. Not all blonds are dumb, not a blacks have big dicks, not all people who look Asian are good at math, not all Germans were Nzis(won't let me spell the actual word) not all white males with shaved heads are racists.

Reported.

But this is a toxic community and you should just accept that. Or is that only in regards to women and girls?
-
I accept it. It is what it is.

Logic Fail or Proves the Wrong Point Basically, you're saying, if you're a female gamer, expect to catch shit because that's the way it is. Either don't tell us you're female, or don't wear a mic, or pretend you're male because this is the club you've just walked into. That's bullshit, mate, plain and simple, and promotes the stereotype you say exists for a reason, but you are right about that: Stereotypes exist for a reason...bigotry, which, when made manifest by posts like yours, obviates the need for existential debate. It's real. You've just demonstrated it.

Thank you someone with logic.

Dude, I don't even know where to start. But your Utopian world is a fallacy. I operate in reality. The world is a certain way. We all should take responsibility for situations we put ourselves in. I have every right to walk up to someone and call them a bitch. They then have every right to call me a bitch right back. If I walked into a PETA convention and started skinning a deer on their conference table I should expect to catch some shit, right? I did nothing wrong. What I did was perfectly legal and ethical. But I put myself in a bad situation with a group of highly volatile people. It would be great if bigotry, racism, etc. didn't exist. It doesn't work that way. So deal with it yourself.

So basically you are saying that this is boy's club, and if a girl wants to enter it, they have play by their rules? Because this is how the Peta analogy works. They are a group of animal lovers (not in the south park sense). So if you enter their group, you have to play by their rules. I disagree with that. The analogy is bad. Gaming isn't something that centered around males by itself. This however is the case with Peta. They are a group of people who like animals, by default. You won't be a member of Peta if you don't like their ideals. You can play Zelda however, without being a guy. If you say that the gaming world is made by guys for guys, I would still disagree, but you logic would at least be coherent.

Guy is a moron. You might be better off arguing with a wall. At least that can have a window for words to get through.

[quote]So basically you are saying that this is boy's club, and if a girl wants to enter it, they have play by their rules? [/quote] Nope. Don't walk into hostile territory and then expect people to act differently. [quote]Because this is how the Peta analogy works. They are a group of animal lovers (not in the south park sense). So if you enter their group, you have to play by their rules. [/quote] You're really bad at abstract thought. That's not what I said at all. I'm not entering their group. I showed up and skinned a deer. I don't have to play by their rules, at all. [quote]I disagree with that. The analogy is bad. Gaming isn't something that centered around males by itself. This however is the case with Peta. They are a group of people who like animals, by default. You won't be a member of Peta if you don't like their ideals.

[quote]If you say that the gaming world is made by guys for guys, I would still disagree, but you logic would at least be coherent.[/quote] My logic slapped you in the face and it pissed you off. I'm advocating people take responsibility for their actions. Cause and effect. Causation. Females are entering a realm where anonymity has given children more courage to act foolish and say foolish things. These children will almost certainly grow out of this phase. All players get harassed playing online, just a different type. It's actually incredibly sexist to say that women should be differently in online gaming than men. If we are all equal, than we are all equally capable of dealing with stupid people online.

You have the logic of a 1st grader. You must be one of the geek virgins you spoke of.
-
Yes, as someone who has stated within this thread that this behavior is unacceptable and unjustifiable and that these people are badly raised children...I then must be a part of this same group. And you claim I'm the one with a 1st graders logic...
-
Yes so everyone who is racist, sexist, or anything else bad simply had bad parents. You're a -blam!-ing idiot.

[quote]Yes so everyone who is racist, sexist, or anything else bad simply had bad parents. You're a -blam!-ing idiot.[/quote] I bet you are one of the few people who would ever disagree with me about this. Parents instill your core values, for better or worse. Also, it's mostly children acting like this. You, yourself, are a prime example of this. Reported again.
-
Parents have a key role yes. But they are not the deciding factor in how a child turns out. I bet you had great parents. Too bad for them you turned out as you did. They have my pity.

Edited by Killlerschaf: 10/21/2015 7:15:01 PMNah, I'm pretty good with abstract thoughts, that's exactly why your analogy confused me. What you say is that nobody should be surprised when he will get some heat, when he walks up to Peta members, while skinning a deer. This is logical, because of their ideals as animal lovers. Harming an animal in front of animal lovers (don't get hung up on the word harm) will usually not yield great results. This is self-explanatory. I don't understand how this is related to gaming however, if you do not suppose that this is a boy's club, with rules made by said boys. The analogy also clearly indicates that female players are provoking a male gamer, simply through playing a game. This is the case because you talk about skinning a deer. Something that provokes the animal lovers. What exactly are female players doing, that they deserve harassment? What's the provoking action in your analogy for the female gamer , if not playing a game itself? Your last point would be correct, if female gamers wouldn't get harassed in a way a male would never experience or could imagine. However, I disagree with the notion of female and male behaviour being similar in all situations. Sociologic studies have clearly shown that this is not the case.

[quote]I don't understand how this is related to gaming however, if you do not suppose that this is a boy's club, with rules made by said boys.[/quote] It relates to gaming just like this, I'm walking into hostile territory and doing what I want to do. It's not any more complicated than that. Females gamers are walking into territory that is notorious for having foul mouthed, badly raised children. These female gamers are then doing whatever they want to do. Once you open yourself up to the public, the rules get tossed out the window. It's the same reason why video games don't rate online experiences. They just can't predict how stupid people will act. My original analogy was simply me making a wrong turn into a PETA convention while in my hunting gear. I exaggerated it later for emphasis. I acknowledge that my exaggeration may have taken it off the rails, but the underlying point is still valid.

A PETA convention is MEANT ONLY FOR PEOPLE OF LIKE MINDS!!!!! The gaming world is not only meant for, sexist, racist, children, or adults. You are a bitch ass moron and need to grow the -blam!- up. "But I live in the real world with real problems" no you use the way things are as an excuse to keep them that way. I live in a world where I try every day to make sure my daughter has the rights and privileges as my sons without discrimination. Pussies like you who only say that's how it is so accept it need to -blam!-ing die. Your worse than the ones who cause the problems.

When people like you can't accept that not everyone will agree with you, you then launch into a tirade making wild accusations, using insane profanity, and acting exactly like what you claim to be against...an ideological radical. PS - you've been reported.
