First of all let me start off with the fact that yes, I am a woman. And I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember. Heck! I collect consoles and the games for them. GameCube, N64, playstation 1-4, Xbox 1-3, Atari, you name it probably have it. But when it comes up in conversations I always get a variation of[i] "Oh, so you're a Gamer Girl!"[/i]. I can't even bring myself to say the word. Listen, if I wanted to be called a Gamer Girl I would have made it clear by now. To be honest I don't even consider myself a Gamer. I'm just someone who likes playing video games. Would I like to go to E3? Hell yes I would. Do I know everything there is know about video game history? I read up on the topic. But am I a gamer girl? No, and if you decide to call me a gamer girl after I smash a lobby on CoD... Probably going to tell you to STFU. Do I want attention for being a woman in a supposed male dominated video game population? No!believe it or not guys aren't the only ones staying up until early hours of the morning to shoot things on their TV. Get over yourself, you're a woman playing a video game... Cool. Nowadays even Grandma and grandpa are wrecking Crota. I'm not a Gamer Girl, nor am I really a Gamer. I'm just a person who like video games and if you call me a gamer girl I'll probably puke in your mouth....

작성자: Ghost of Reach 6/5/2015 8:17:27 PMLike I said before in other threads, there only gamers. There is no gamer girl or gamer guy. Gamer is a unisex term, and does not directly refer to one sex. I personally, as a guy, hate the term "gamer girl". A person of any gender who plays and enjoys playing games on a PC or console based platform is consider a gamer.

My little sister is in high school, and Left 4 Dead has been one of her favorite games ever since it came out. I bought the L4D health pack for her at a Con we went to earlier this year, and she loved it. She wore her backpack to her high school. Some people complimented on it. Then she passed by a group of guys that started asking her questions like Do you even play? Can you hold the controller properly?...then they said, "you must be one of those gamer girls that takes pictures with their controllers and can't even play"...My sister just walked away from those jerks and didn't say a word.

Aww, it's a disappointment that rules state there are no girls on the Internet... [spoiler] Joking! Don't do arguments over the Internet since they're pointless. If you are offended, don't expect me to shown any care [/spoiler]

So, you're a Gamer then? You collect consoles and state that you could wreck me in a game of CoD. I call myself a Gamer and I don't do that. I play for a few hours a day, not stay up till the early hours of the morning, but I still consider myself to be a Gamer. I get what you're saying, that you don't want attention for being from a gender that makes up 40% of the gaming community, but really, you could just say to people, "I don't like the term, Gamer Girl" or "I'm not a Gamer" despite the shockingly strong evidence of at least being a Gamer. You didn't have to make this long post stating that you hate the term Gamer Girl. But you did. And like someone else said, this really draws attention to you being a girl. Why would you make a post saying that you don't like drawing attention to yourself, when all it would do is draw attention to yourself? I can understand that you would indeed make this post so that people wouldn't harass you as much, but it won't reach as many people as you might hope. I personally don't like the term Gamer Girl. It's just a gender, get over it. You should get over it too, if you can. If you can, good, you've stepped above what most Gamer Girls do and use the label to draw attention. If you can't, then i have lost all respect for you. TL;DR: You're at least a Gamer and this post may or may not have met your goals.

작성자: Koldraxon 6/4/2015 2:07:48 PMI saw this earlier, with 'GG' in the title. This is my opinion. If you dislike it, then it's none of my concern. GG = Good Game. NOT 'Gamer Girl'. What community of the gaming network are you part of? On my end, there is no discrimination (other than, evidently, 'the squeakers'). I have seldom encountered any females verbally through that digital front, other than myself being male*. [u]/!\[/u] Alert: More text ahead. Open at own risk. [spoiler]I've been called worse. Besides, it's less harmful than being called a [Discriminating term expunged], which is much less harmful than trying to exaggerate the article in #Offtopic, which is not the best place to do so, which in turn is less harmful than me drowning thousands of Guardians, Spartans, and Sangheili, in bullets, Mythoclast, Juju, Pocket Infinity, Red Death, Last Word, Invective, and [List is endless]. Yes, that envelops every being in Halo, Destiny, Warframe, Crysis, Starcraft 2...[/spoiler] *I see no point in gender conflict when the real issues are: [spoiler]-Global Weather malfunctions. -War must stop and become simulated. -Space travel. -Noobs in Leader's chairs. -AI to fix all this. -Phones glued to faces; "We are the Borg". ...Interesting. Elders playing Destiny. Now to wait for: [u]/!\[/u] Contains references to games. -Promethean Knights in Garry's Mod. -A variety of games. -Destiny in Garry's Mod. -Destiny vs [Input] because of Garry's Mod. - "Only you can halt what he has set in motion." - Gravemind, Halo 3. - [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdByNRywvLU]You must construct additional Pylons[/url].[/b] -You've not enough minerals. CONCLUSION if you've survived the trials. We are human. We are no different. Only the physical manifestation. Only the name. Only one's brain. I am not easily enraged. If you are, best find ways to channel it into energy and plow the competition off the edge of the Spire (map, Halo Reach). [/spoiler]

2 답변Yeah. And whenever I join a lobby girls jokingly call me a gamer guy. It's degrading. I'm only 13. Stahp. "You wumbo, I wumbo, he/she wumbo, wumbo." - Patrick Einstein Star
