Frustrated as a girl gamer

Hi I don't know where to begin and I know it sound awkward ... I am a girl gamer and had been playing Destiny since the day it launched. Love the game and specially Pvp ( my previous teammates like to recruit me because I am quite a killer and usually get top 2 scores in pvp) But I don't really like turning my mic on because people always mistaken me as a young kid [b]no matter how many times I told them I am a girl[/b] ...I am actually 20+ and studying oversea . My native language are not English and my friends' time zone is 8 hours earlier than mine now. Though few of them are very happy to have me as raid teammates, most of them prefer a male player (despite his skills are really bad and having bad attitude) than me. I have always been a decent raid and pvp player , receiving a lot of positive feedbacks from other players . I seldom make mistakes and I am very happy to help new players to do raids or missions...but it seems gender is more important than the person's attitude to them. Tried making new friends in the forum and joining new raid teams, sadly I felt very uncomfortable because some people just assume girls are very bad at gaming. And they would [b]put all the blame on me when something goes wrong during the raid and all I do is doing exactly what they say[/b]...I just want to have fun and making new friends in the same time zone or others. It's really sad that all I get is blaming and discrimination. It's really hard to find settled teammates now...my teammates from my former clan has been dismissed and some of them has joined other clan already. Though they would recruit me when there is a spot, as I said I am a girl, they rather ask a rude male player to join them. Was I really lack the humor of a male player or i am just not good enough to team with them. I don't do Destiny's raid or nightfalls as often as before. Mostly pvp now because I am so tired of people keep blaming me because i am a girl. I rather getting hate messages from the opposing team than discriminated . It would be nice to have friends and settled teammates who love playing Destiny like I do. [quote][b]Moderator edit:[/b] [spoiler]This thread has been moved to the #Destiny forum.

  • Well if you are ever forming a raid group or PvP group ( unfortunately I don't do trials :P ), I would be happy to join ya. Been needing a reliable raid group for some time and many of my other friends have slowly been tuning out of the game. ID same as above :) [spoiler]I've got my white sword and white shield ready for the white knight accusers lol[/spoiler]

  • Tbh, I respect female gamers more than male gamers for going against social norms, and spending their time in the way they want to; not the way the majority of females spend their time

        • Had some creepo friend of a friend join my chat party today and he said a bunch of creepy stuff to a woman in the party who I game with. She'd already muted him before that because he was really annoying. She was disappointed to learn that we didn't tell the dude that the girl he was trying to flirt with had almost 40 years on him before he got kicked. She wanted to crush his fantasy. lol

                Hey whats up, I have a great solution to this issue! I understand where your coming from even though I'm a male, people on the Internet can be really mean pugnacious individuals. The solution being "Dames Of Destiny" a girl based destiny community! You can find them in the forums they would love to have you I'm sure! - River, out

                • I dunno who you've been playing with but I always judge players I meet by their skill, that said if you've been here since the start of destiny you atleast know what you're doing. If you ever need to raid or something hit me up, I lost my regular raiding crew,

                    • If you were on the one I'd raid with you no matter what I don't care as long as you have some semblance of an idea of what to do

                    • If you're fishing for friends in your timezone then you should probably mention where that is. Personally I don't care what gender a player is, as long as they don't die every 2 minutes and, have a decent attitude and can take a joke. Love me a bit of banter. I've known plenty of girl gamers who put the boys to shame.

                    • Tbh you're just a gamer who has raided with sexist twats. Don't take it personally, some people just have a hard time dealing with puberty.

                    • Literally have never been singled out simply for being a girl. For talking trash? Yes. For being an asshole? Yup. For sucking at the game? Absolutely. For having a vag? Nope. Not once.

                        Just no... Go get attention from somewhere else please, chaturbate is probably the best bet for you. Now I can turn my attention to the White Knight lames in this thread.... All of them in here with the driest mouths I've seen since I watched Sahara. For some reason when I think about the White Knights on here, I immediately think of that scene from Scrubs when Ted has pop rocks in his mouth haha.

                      • There's assholes no matter if you're a guy or girl. It's all about finding the right people to play with. Just remember it's a game and move on. Forget about the assholes but don't think people should treat you different because you're a girl. I run into Douchebags all the time.
