6 things real gamer girls hate
You've seen the stereotypes. The "GRRL" girl, the "Yeah,-I'm-a-girl,-but-I'll-kick-your-ass" girl, the "celebugamer." While these girls do exist, hey, there're us regular-type girls who play videogames, too. Most of the gamer chicks you see promoting themselves on the internet love attention more than gaming, or are paid to adopt that stereotypical “girl gamer” persona, but what about the rest of us girls – the ones who actually play videogames? We’re stealthily walking among you like ninjas – and man, do we have a lot to hate about gaming.
1. "Well, you don't LOOK like a gamer..."
Why, because I showered? See how stereotypes feel? We’re just as varied as anyone else, but most assume we must be hideously grotesque heifers who lose controllers into the folds of our fat palms like we’re made of coconut-scented quicksand. Unless, of course, we’re wearing Fragdolls T-shirts or Zelda tramp stamps, which is the other acceptable female gamer stereotype.
We don't all wear our love for video games on our sleeves, just like we're sure you don't wear video game novelty shirts every day... right? Right?
2. Honey, we've heard them all before
So you're playing an online game, and you hear yet another prepubescent boy over your headset... but wait, that's no boy! It's a girl! So naturally, you tell her to go back to the kitchen. Funny. Slap yourself on the wrist, you bad, bad boy. Your three seconds of stand-up was only funny the first time, when the other douchebag said it six matchmaking lobbies ago. No one laughed then, either, and no one’s laughing now… probably because you sound fat.
3. We don’t always want to talk about videogames
Great, you met a girl who plays videogames – now you can ALWAYS talk about videogames with her! False. Just because we share a common interest doesn’t mean we don’t have other interests, too, and we know you also have other interests.
Guys love to dumb themselves down to ask us videogame-related questions, just for the novelty of talking to a girl about videogames. We’re not Google, asshole. And don’t condescend, there’s nothing worse. That said…
Just because we’re interested in videogames doesn’t mean we’re interested in you. Once word gets out that there’s a female gamer in the vicinity, guys lose their shit. We’re forced to leave our headsets muted when playing online to avoid the inevitable “So, do you have a boyfriend?” We wanna play the damn game, not hook up with you, k thx. Want a hook-up? Go to…
4. GameCrush
GameCrush enables male gamers to pay to play with attractive female gamers (“PlayDates”). The guys can choose to have their experience be either “flirty” or “dirty.” Ew. This kind of objectification of female gamers just furthers the idea that real female gamers don't exist, or that if they play, they must be ugly.
5. Stupid female character outfits
We realize games are largely based in fantasy, but could character designers get a little more creative with how they clothe their females? Male characters in games get tricked-out armour suits, iconic headgear (Master Chief comes to mind) and outfits that fit their surroundings. Meanwhile, female characters are left with only sashes and a smile.
6. Grrrl Gamers and anything relating to "female gaming empowerment"
Just because we're girls who enjoy spending hours in front of a TV pressing buttons, that does not mean we need to join your community, blog, Facebook group or Twitter-feed-sorority-clustershart of gaming-girl goodness. We like playing games. We are girls. These things don't necessarily need to be tied together, nor do we feel the need to have special treatment because we’re both. And if we happen to want to spend 31 hours perfecting our chopping techniques in Cooking Mama instead of having an equally enjoyable Modern Warfare 2 estrogen-fest against the boys, we shouldn't be considered less of a gamer than you.
(To clarify, everyone is different and not everyone feels this way but nevertheless this'll start a shit storm, this is some points that I personally have been feeling and if people relate then great but in no way am I stating every girl gamer thinks like this.)
If you see me playing be sure to give me a wave :3

Before I left wow last season my 3's team was down a guy, and we met a girl through the forums to heal for us. She was super attractive and funny as hell, you know what my friend and I did when we played with her? We busted her balls non stop and she was a good sport about it, and fun was had. My point is, it's ok to joke around guys, and gals, don't be so sensitive. It's easy to pick out the desperate losers, versus the guys who are just having fun and might be a little flirty. She wasn't good, and she knew it, so we played our alts with her and always said stuff like "it's a good thing you're hot because you suck at this game." She knew we were just teasing her and she got laughs out of it and busted our balls back. There doesn't need to be a guideline to unisex behavior. Idiots will be idiots.

I have had to chase quite a few people off for a friend of mine due to the stupidity she goes through. I respect girls who play games, do i think it makes them special? Not really, It is nice to know that you can find someone with an intrest in gaming but what about the rest of it? you can only talk about games so much before growing bored or tired of it, i use to date a "gamer girl" reason i put qoutes around it was due to her being one of the attention seekign type. Lived togeather for 3 years, but then her "fame" got the better of her and she found someone who she felt could take care of her more. Mind you i was working 2 jobs + taking care fo my disabled mother who lives with me. So yea fun times. Anyhow keep enjoying games and dont let morons bother you!

Any female players that want to play harrassment free, send me a PS4 friend request. Let's blow shite up. It's odd, the few times I've heard a female voice on the other end, it calmed me down and I played better. My PSN should be in my profile, but it's LordPenPen just in case.

Really good read, and sorry that people treat female gamers like that. Personally I've never seen the point in hitting on women in a game, and never understood guys that do. Hope you continue to enjoy the game, and on behalf of male gamers everywhere, I apologize for our universal stupidity.

As a guy I can't know exactly what this is like, but it must suck. Having to deal with creeps, racists, and douche bags is bad enough without them trying to hit on me lol. Honestly, I could care less if I was playing VoG with a fat-ass or a model, as long as they're a team player. The second people feel anonymous, they loose all public decency...

i actually agree with her. there are the times where ive heard guys completely trash women online and think its okay when its really piggish. somehow we believe that when a girl plays a game and decides to go online with said game that its okay to act like we dont have a lick of sense. gamer girls are people too and have lives to live just like us men. act like you got some sence and enjoy the game before the closest gamer girl gives you a swift boot up the ass

4 답변For all you "girl gamers", or "gamer girls" (doesn't matter how you word it, means the same thing) out there who are agreeing with GreyXpPanda are just siding with her cause she's a fellow ''gamer girl". Posting this was pointless because clearly it didn't help and people don't care. If anything you 'gamer girls' just made it worse upon yourselves. If girls can't handle what guys say or the jokes they make, I think its clear that you shouldn't play with them, play alone. Or you shouldn't play games at all. Guys are always going to say stuff like that all the time. So you have two choices: 1) If you can't handle what people have to say, then don't play. or 2) Suck it up, and keep on playing and don't let it bother you. All guys from different age groups are going to continue to give you a hard time, depending on how you are too. Stop trying to make a point that you are a "girl gamer" or "gamer girl" or however you want to claim yourself. The reason why guys continue to play with me is because I'm not making it a point that I'm a girl. Some know I am a girl but they see me as a fellow GAMER. Why? Maybe because I'm not always trying to make it a point that I'm a girl. So stop all this stereotyping crap and just enjoy your game. Play on fellow GAMERS!

8 답변I put it to you the you are not a "GAMER" as you say. i point out this as my reason for saying so. you stated this in #3 "3. We don’t always want to talk about videogames Great, you met a girl who plays videogames – now you can ALWAYS talk about videogames with her! False. Just because we share a common interest doesn’t mean we don’t have other interests, too, and we know you also have other interests." pointing out this leads me to doubt everything else stated even wonder if you are a girl at all. A true gamer ALWAYS wants to talk about games. thats all i have to say about this.
