AlterNet put out an article on the subject of female gamers:
http://www.alternet.org/gender/why-angry-entitled-man-children-pick-women?sc=fb
I know that there will probably be passionate, yet futile, responses from the "I can treat people however I want!" crowd. But this article just backs up what a lot of us pro-female gamer people feel.

>DoD exists for females as a safe haven from hate and sexism >Hate and sexism happen anyway No one sees the irony?

I'd love to know how many of the guys who give female gamers shit make female character to play with -_- sexism is just stupid and sad they love fantasy girls but -blam!- no if u actually exist

Pro-female? Why is this even a term? Who in their right mind would be anti-female. How about normal human beings who have respect for their fellow humans? I thought that was still a thing... silly me, I guess!

46 RespostasI'm a girl and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Yes, what happened to the dames is horrible, at least in some aspects (mostly the -blam!- threat towards one member), but they should have seen it coming at some point. With the girls that parade themselves to the point of just being dumb shits, it's no wonder they caught hate from a bunch of guys. We also don't need the entire community split over this because it's only going to make everything worse. Girls can handle themselves, especially the ones that are real gamers just like the guys, we can take all the same hits.

1 ResponderPeople are being murdered,-blam!-,and mutilated everyday throughout the world and this is your rally cry. Wow, I hate to be the one to tell everyone but women are much tougher and enduring than your giving them credit for.

3 Respostasdont believe everything you read on the internet , here's what really happened: since the content is stale and new dlc is desparately needed at this point , deej , byf , wishmeluck plotted a master plan to spice up the destiny universe ,of course to make a good story we need a hero/white knight and a villian/martyr and a victim , the roles were quickly decided between deej and the gang , but then suddenly deej realized , what if he he's not a good enough internet violence victim because you know all the controversy about deej controlling wht xur sells and weekly updates so he got this brilliant idea "guys lets use the dames from destiny to create a even bigger scandal to provide thrill to the new action/content thirsty audience " , the dames not knowing what awaits them blindly followed the sudden bungie bounty invite to get some more internet fame just to be abused by the dedicated villian in this story , well actually the dames were just bystanders in the nasty internet assault , but thats where our white knight hero comes on the scene twisting words and punishing our anti-hero martyr by taking away his stream job and now he has to suffer hunger and pain , once again the good guys in destiny saved the day from evil internet sexists, well played Deej and the two other guys , it was video game oscar worthy

It's a pre school sand box. The boys are playing with their trucks and a girls steps in and starts to play. Some boys just can't handle that and will pick on her and point and cry....most girls can't handle that and cry harder. Boy wins and resumes playing with his truck. Some girls will handle it/tune him out, keep playing with the truck and the boy will either stop crying or have a melt down and leave. To speak for the rest of the boys/young men/men that just want to play trucks with decent people...we don't care about your sex...so don't bring it up...just share the tonka and don't cry/piss/shit/get the sand wet in anyway. You will be treated equally. Sometimes equally isn't all it's cracked up to be either...we can all be dicks. We can all be bitches. We're human. You won't change it.

Damn people still care about this? Big deal move along and play the game.

Very interesting article

8 RespostasI'm not surprised with them parading around, they were bound to be lashed out at. I say partly it is their fault.

Never heard of alternet, don't care.

God please send an asteroid into the Earth and kill us all, this shit is too -blam!-ing stupid.

7 RespostasI'm pro female gamer. But I would really like to see the exact methods of this research. To me that just seems silly, that basically it's guys who suck at games who are harassing the women online......really? It couldn't possibly be a case of the desired results skewing the research..........as if to say that guys are jerks to women because the women are better than them...... Every time I've been witness to a guy or group of guys either harassing a female, or more often trying very poorly to hit on them......it has absolutely nothing to do with how good they are......just being jerks.

4 RespostasBBC wrote a similar article a few weeks ago. It showed that the more young players would lose, the more shit they would talk. I posted it on the off topic forum.

1 ResponderEditado por Geovenchy: 8/1/2015 6:52:17 PMI've seen Dame over a hundred times now. I haven't been up to date with Destiny/news. Can someone fill me in? I know they're a group consisting of women but that's about it. Edit: nvm, read a couple posts.

2 RespostasEditado por Raksis The Great: 8/1/2015 1:47:33 AMLol. Dumbest article ever. Men are nice to each other? WHAT WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN?!?

25 RespostasMy problem is that the article says that men are nice to each other. That is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have read. Men talk shit to each other all the time. The misleading this article does is just wrong.

No one cares. Quit crying g for special treatment and equality at the same time
