[b]If you're not female how could you understand the shit we deal with? [/b] I've been harassed online in quite a few games. Left 4 Dead, GTA, The Last of Us, and Destiny to name some. I bet you wouldn't be too happy if your girlfriend went online and everyone started to call her a cum dumpster or a stupid bitch who isn't worth shit... or telling all the shit they'd do to her and all those lovely sexual assault threats. Now we are normal human beings just like anyone else. We are reasonable. The 'back in the kitchen' comments are jokes. We get jokes and trash talk, we're not -blam!-ing stupid, thats all a game...but they cross the line when they [b]degrade[/b] us. When their [b]goal[/b] is to make us feel inferior and hurt us. We're not over emotional babies who cry about one silly little joke... when they are personal attacks on us and our sex then YES there is a reason to be upset. *[spoiler]This may be a troll post but honestly I wish more people would just treat us like normal gamers. Thought I might as well put it out there.[/spoiler]

Funny i have never seen any of this happen. Stop trying to see everything as a sexist problem

Because they're thirsty junkyard dogs..

Bc I don't need them pmsing halfway through VOG and then we all have to jump off the ledges to off ourselves so we don't have to listen to her whine about how hard it is and how she can't find her midol.

Holy lack of grammar.

Your display of the English language is horrendous. Please refrain from posting on these forums again. Also, you should tell a doctor about being retarded. It's a mental illness that needs to be taken seriously, or you could kill yourself by forgetting how to breathe.

This thread. SMH. Here's a little PSA for the ladies. The bat signal went up and every white knight in Gotham is climbing over each other trying to say the best thing to get a female friend add. I'm seeing posts from guys saying they have or will boot their own friends to make a perfect stranger feel comfortable in their party because they're a girl (OP included in later replies). Now let me ask you ladies, when you read that... You're well aware that these guys wouldn't do this for another dude right? So why do you think they do it for a girl? Exactly. And no, having a gf doesn't exclude anyone from being a prowler. I have a gf myself and believe me not only is she hot as shit but she takes care of the business often if you catch my drift. But my ears STILL perk up when I hear the sultry female voice talking video games/nerd culture/ etc. don't EVER let a guy tell you otherwise because he'd be lying. And that's coming from a guy who can call, text, or chill with probably one of the hottest, fittest badass girls you'll ever see playing Destiny or games in general. It doesn't matter, our little feelers are always on standby for more. In the end you're still being treated differently just because of your gender. One guy degrades you outright. But the other kind (the kind this thread is mostly full of) is even creepier because they subtly try to outwit you by criticizing the guy above, telling you whatever you want to hear and trying to stockpile you in their friends list, parties, eventually social media and so on. It will go as far as you let them... All because they "don't care if you're a girl as long as you're cool." Think about it, do you see them pursuing other guy gamers that hard or buttering up to them since they really don't care about gender? Right. I would take my hat off to the first guy that actually said that they were keeping an eye out for a like minded girl to talk to in their near vicinity and see where it went. Because they want to find a lady they have something in common with, and there's nothing wrong with that. I've yet to see that statement or anything like it around here. At least that dude would be honest. TLDR; The White Knight Effect: Ladies don't fall for it (unless of course you're after attention you don't get elsewhere, then by all means you do you). Trust me, it's a farce. You're better off using the LFG system and friending whichever gamer of whichever gender meshes with your play style and personality.

Females playing video games would be wasting valuable time that should be spent cooking or cleaning
