Female Gamers

[Apastron]

This is a PSA regarding the way males usually treat females in the online gaming world. In my time playing games online ive heard too many misogynist comments directed at female gamers that not only make them uncomfortable, but can make them quit online gaming for good.

I suggest everyone read this article on the topic to help promote a friendly and fun environment for all sexes and genders.

Its inevitable that the average pre-pubescent has been and will be exposed to a plethora of hate comments on xbox headsets or PC teamspeaks, but we can work toward making the gaming community a better place for everyone by calling these people out and not adopting their hateful speech.

Well, it's all the stereotypes to tell you the truth.

The reason why they get treated so badly, is because of the few that abuse their gender, i.e Twitch.

Ex.
I can barely see what's even going on there.


There is nothing wrong with the other gender playing games, because on a game, they're anonymous, but the moment, they feel make themselves known they are female, they are trying to get attention. Because no-one cares what gender you are, especially in League, I want to win a game, not talk about your gender.

What i'm getting at is, you could be of any race, nationality, gender, sexuality, if you play a game, don't bring it up. otherwise you're seeking attention for what ever reason.

in a game, i treat no-one else any differently.

I only hate squeakers.

I thought female gamers were like g-spot: fictional...
Now, seriously speaking, I don't treat female gamers any different. Since there is no way to confirm whether it is a female or a male playing the game (at least in the way I like to play it... Silence, dark and with only  one program open (the game)). So, with this said, it is pretty obvious that you may be a female character and/or claim to be female, I won't treat you any different.

Well said for example in DBO male or female I will still kill you on platform with no remorse xD. I hated how girl players in KR and sometimes in TW thought they were special and would cry and try to make other guys try to kill you if you made them upset. The thirst was real lol

Well im a female gamer myself and trust me i know about abuse.
So i can only support this.
I wish for people to be able to accept me as who i am. Hell sometimes i even wish i was a boy cause guys don't have to prove anything.
You have no idea how many times i have heard the phrase "Tits or GTFO" or "Prove you are a girl, show me facebook/skype" or something simulare.
Why do we girls have to prove everything when guys don't? can't we all just be friends?

Tsuki~

[Shiro]

It has always been like that, guys are just desperate to get a girlfriend so they do that. I think that's rather stupid to do while we are all human beings. It's not like girls are aliens or something. You should just ignore those people and block them, I find people that do that retarded.

True Tsuki. Someone once asked me if I was a hot girl. Again a party did not want me because "girls do not know how to play."

Who cares? I'm just another player BOD and I want to be treated like others.

I'll quote the wise Dumke again.

We girls have to make a Girl DBOR day like a day where we meet up and have fun ^^
I think thats what we all need. To spend time with other girl gamers, so we don't feel alone

I know right! :O lol I've been trying to imagine what playing is like, but it's not working xD

I find this whole "Gamer Girl" kinda dumb. You can't just blame the opposite gender for this so called "abuse" There's two sides to a story. If you don't want to be "abused" just play the game, you have no need to be so personal with people you don't even know, unless they are your friends.

I knew a girl in DBO who I won't name, and I killed her in platform. I'm not going to give you an easier time just because of your gender, don't really care about that. She basically got her so called online "boyfriend" to attack me in which just failed miserably for him. Dude was whipped af.

I've played several MMO's and as much as you say every guy is saying "Tits or gtfo" That is not the truth at all. I've seen a shit ton of females take advantage of their feminism to receive free shit from these types of dudes, and basically just use them until they don't need them and move on to the next guy. Hell, there has even been guys who have pretended to be girls to get this special treatment.

If you're going to tell me you're a girl. I really wouldn't care. I wouldn't treat you differently, it would just be that. So before you just gang up saying it's just guys that are abusive, you should always see other perspectives.
