I was like "My main guardian is a female because I wanted character variety, I don't understand how that is a problem." And then I read the post and realized this is a totally different issue.

That sucks. I don't care what gender or species you are. Let's play some -blam!-ing destiny!!!!!!!!!

I feel like the people on the forums are on a completely different planet or some shit. 99% of the time nobody cares what gender someone is, and the other 1% is people begging to have girls on their team.

I remember during the days of vanilla destiny, I was on a huge streak playing rumble. Was enjoying myself until this one game, this player joins and turns the lobby upside down for the next 5 matches and I simply couldn't keep up with him. I'm a little flustered and I look up the persons gamer tag on google thinking it was a twitch streamer/YouTuber and none of that pops up. Turns out it was a former MLG member in the halo community back in the day. I clicked on a link to the persons team website or something like that, and it shows a picture of a girl as a profile picture (with the same GT I searched up). It also showed pictures of her and her team mates and their accomplishments. [spoiler]boy was I a little dumb founded, but hey. Gamers will be gamers. Whatever the gender.[/spoiler]

lol

I left a fireteam thinking a girl a was a squeaker once. That crap can get annoying. [spoiler]Squeakers I mean[/spoiler]

Normal people don't do this. Normal people don't care if you're a guy or a girl. Just because you ran into a few jerks online does not mean you need to get on the forums and preach like you're better than everyone. No one cares about your life story Mr. White Knight. Go beg for woman to take you seriously somewhere else.

You sound like you did this in hopes of catching some online females attention Secondly we aren't all rude to them. Some of us dont care if you are whatever gender, we just care to know if you're chill and a good player depending on what we are doing. Those who are rude usually are always muted so why the need to do this thread? Most guys ive raided with (I'm a guy too obviously) never gave any female player shit or even batted an eye at them. Just treated them as equals. I wasted minutes of my life replying to this thread I allow you to reply to me kiddo

Can you take a gun or some throwing knives and feed face with them? Ok, no issue. The only gender I care about is 'murderer'; if you're one of those in game, you're fine in my book.

Girl gamers have a stigma about them, whether that be unfair or not. They don't bother me at all, and if I was still playing, I'd happily take other female guardians through the raid. The main issue I have experiences is that girl gamers also tend to be very catty when it comes to other girls (at least in my experience) and my main raid group already has one girl on it, who is very friendly btw. I don't know what it is, and it could just be my experience, but many gamer girls just don't like the presence of another female in the group, and that can make the party awkward. This doesn't apply to ALL girls mind you. My regular group now has three girls who pop in our party frequently without issue. But I have experienced it in the past where I've had a girl pop in to play, she's really friendly and talkative, and as soon as my other female member says "hello," its like an instant shutdown.

Gender/age/sexuality isn't any issue for me. As long as we are all here for a common goal, and can do so without a lot of meaningless banter, I'm more than happy to play with anyone.

To be perfectly honest I've never had this problem until recently, when Age of Triumph hit. During Aksis and Oryx I never had an issue with this, but now while running these raids again I get shit heads telling me how to play as if I don't have a huge number of completions on each raid. It pisses me off. Story time. Doing Oryx last week, when it was the weekly challenge. We are doing the Golgoroth challenge, I'm 4, and a friend of mine was 3. We wiped a few times before we got it, but in those wipes it was either 2 or 5/6 who messed it up and caused the wipe. Certainly not me, I was still grabbing the gaze even when three wasn't calling it because I was simply paying attention to what everyone was doing. Keep in mind, I was the [i]only[/i] one he said this to, no one else. This asstruck reminded me to get the gaze twice in the same breath after the first two or three wipes, told me to prepare to get it. I told him off. Next wipe, he tells me again, I told him off again because I was getting pissed at this point. I'm one of the few consistently getting my gaze, I certainly don't need to be told. By the next wipe and the next time he reminded me to get the gaze I told him that if he reminded me one more time I was kicking him. He went quiet after that. Different time, had another guy running on the plates, I was the titan in the middle. After the third cycle the guy on one of the plates died, so I said I'd take his plate. Not only did the other guy in middle criticise me for my loadout, he also reminded me that I'll need to detonate. I called him a C U Next Tuesday and went on with it. Hell, even last night I had some POS tell me how to run relic. While I may be new to running relic, I do know what the buttons do. Honestly I'm just going to start getting kick happy when people start telling me how to do things I've done again and again and again. Thankfully both Nova and Siva tell people off if they start singling me out like that, and will happily kick anyone who pisses me off. I may be a girl, but I am usually better than most of the idiots I play with.

Dude, you are so getting laid.
