My Opinion on Girl Gamers, Squeakers, and Etc.

I've seen several posts about this. Thought I'd give my view. So apparently, girls who play Destiny get harassed, hit on, told to get back in the kitchen etc. by guys. Younger players get kicked because of their voices. Other people receive other forms of unfair treatment This is a problem. People shouldn't get treated differently based on factors they can't control. Including race, age, gender, sexuality, or anything else they're [i]born with.[/i] None of this has any direct effect on your skill or game experience. As long as you have some skill at the game (you're aware Valus Trau'ug has a shield) and a tolerable personality, you're fine by me. You're probably better than me at the game anyway. [b]It shouldn't matter [i]what[/i] you are, it should matter [i]who[/i] you are.[/b] credit Einstein1507

    I don't mind playing with anyone as long as they are not a dick. Being a dick is not exclusive any particular sex, nationality, race or religion. It's a bit of a roulette using LFG but I've been pretty lucky so far and the majority have been chilled, skilled & helpful.

  • Maybe you should post this #Gaming? Not really a Destiny related topic, more relevant to gaming in general. ;)

      • What is the cut off age for a squeaker? Or does it depend on voice depth?

        • I don't care: What your race is. What gender you are. How old you are. What your orientation is. Whatever else you have going on. If you're honest about your skill level and are pretty laid back*, you've got a spot on my fireteam. If you suck, I'll carry you as far as I can. Just not in Trials, I can barely lift myself in there. *Now, I don't mean you never yell/curse/rage/whatever. But if you do it constantly or jump down people's throats every time they make a mistake, that's not cool.

          • My main problem with playing with "squeakers" is that they're usually very inconsiderate. And I'm saying that nicely. Just this week, I got asked by some kid to help finish the HOW story missions. He was a high enough level that he could have finished them on his own, but it became clear he wanted me to do the missions while he just ran behind me. Then he invited a friend to the Xbox live party and sat in the back of the room talking about school while I shot things. Halfway through the second mission I dipped out. Then I got asked to do a Vault run yesterday. Mostly older kids, but one definite squeaker. We were all asked upfront if we could do the whole thing. He talked through the entire first two sections, talking over our "leader," babbling on about what he liked about his new Ice Breaker. He was terrible at the game despite having a level 32. And then halfway through the second section he told everyone he had to go to his friend's birthday party, and quit. Someone else got mad and quit, Vault run fell apart after just over an hour. This is a pretty consistent experience when I play with young kids.

            • [b][u]Girl Gamers?[/u][/b] Totally fine with so long as they don't play on the fact that they are female. Don't act like a whore and flirt with every guy in the party and don't act like you have no idea what you are doing. You have a 34 *Insert Class* you know what you are doing so don't play into sterotypes please. You don't get to be treated any better or worse just because you are a girl. You shouldn't expect any favors and you sure as hell shouldn't expect to be carried. If you are bad then someone shouldn't be obliged to carry you just because you are a girl. I will never tell a girl to get back in the kitchen (because I am an adult and its 2015) I will never hit on a girl (Because its a video game, I know nothing about her, she is most likely a million miles away and most importantly I am not that thirsty or pathetic.) I will not think worse of myself just because I did worse than a girl. (Because her gender had nothing to do with the fact she is better than me at a game) [b][u]"Squeakers"?[/u][/b] Totally fine with them so long as they can behave in a somewhat mature manner. The moment the "Your mom" comments start or when the "Scrublord, Git Good, Qweer, etc etc" starts then you will be muted. And don't act like I am obliged to listen to you act like a moron. If you wanna chat in a reasonable manner and converse then taht is cool with me. But I am not obligated to listen to you scream at EVERY SINGLE -blam!-ING that shoots you dead. I will never Exclude a Young player (because I am not quite that big of a dick and often times they are actually pretty good if I am to be honest) I will never harass someone because they are young for example cuss and yell at them for the fun of it or talk to them about sex (Because I am not a -blam!-ing piece of shit moron and I have a shred of maturity myself to know better)

                    • I'm not against playing with squeakers, however the ones who won't shut up for 2 seconds and you have a raid party with 5 of them trying to out shout each other and thinking they're all hardcore because they swear every 3rd word is beyond ridiculous. Never had an issue with girl gamers at all until it comes to a lobby where they're just pandering with the children for attention, that gets a bit ridiculous as well. And race...who really gives a shit as long as they're chill and can have fun?!?!

                        • In the REAL WORLD this has been common place since man stood up right and developed speech. Lines get drawn in the sand, because that's human nature. Nothing will ever change that.

                          • I've ran into squeakers that are fine. Then there are some that yell and scream into the mic for hours. Keep cool and it's all good. Only expect a boot if my ears are bleeding. As for girl gamers. Guys need to stop the bullshit. Be respectful. Girl gamers are just gamers. And now into the last statement. And as an add on to that. Girls, just be gamers not girl gamers. Girl gamers are annoying, they usually can be heard whining in a squeaker like voice. In the end you won't earn a boot or a report if, you are a calm chill person who does not yell and scream, regardless of your gender or age. Can't do that? Then get out.

                          • I can play with anyone to a point. I can stand kids if they act like they have some brains, make jokes and have fun but don't sound like a jet engine is next to your mic. Girls are cool but the ones that must distract everyone are really annoying. Also you don't need to join the party and the first thing you say is "Hey im a girl" I don't join a party and say "Hey i got a penis" everyone is human so don't make a big deal that you got some different parts.

                              • That's just society, some people don't care who they are, some do. I don't abuse anyone at all and actually try and help them since no one else will. Female gamers - no wonder no one sees them, because when they do they get abused, hit on, harassed and who knows what else. I'm not a girl gamer so I don't know what it's like, but it must be hell. I have only 2 friends on PSN who are girls (that I can confirm over mics). Kids - I am one (15 - my voice still hasn't dropped, screw you life XD), but I don't get kicked for my voice, though I'm sure it isn't fair. The only time I see it as fair to kick them is when they start being abusive, racist, etc. And is really the only time I kick them. I bring them back if they apologies, but they're gone for good if they start being abusive again.

                              • Female gamers are just gamers. Squakers as some people refer to teenage or younger gamers are OK with me as long as they aren't bickering with each other during the game. If they stayed focused on the task at hand during shared objectives I play with the group. I have two recent experiences. I joined a group that sounded like they could have been between 15 and 18 during a lvl 32 POE at the end with the Vex boss. They stated I was the only person to stick around with the two of them after a 1 or 2 failed attempts. Just had to explain to them what to do and eventually on I think either the 9th or 10th attempt we finished it. Now they went back and forth a little with each other, but they came around to a strategy, got focused and we finished it. Second group was this past Saturday trying to do a Crota Normal Raid. It was a group of 4 I believe teenagers at the bridge. No Warlock in the group, but still wanted to send someone over to hide and try to cheese the bridge part. They all argued with each other and seemed rather inexperienced and I chose to leave as I didn't have the patience to get through the bickering and try to get them focused I chose to leave because I just didn't have the time to try to make it work. IMHO, as long as younger gamers can contribute and aren't bickering with each other I'll stick it out and play, provided I'm not on a tight time schedule fitting playing time in while my kids are napping.
