By the way, yesterday I made a thread when I was really drunk, and I made some amazing points about things that I might never be able to replicate. But the moderators only allow videos that highlight gaming's positive effects here. If you guys have ever read 1984 by George Orwell it's kind of like that but with neckbeards in charge. Freeze peach is supposedly allowed... but only if they like it. Just saying incase anyone (most likely a cleanly shaved individual) is surprised if this topic gets locked.

I say gamer "women" and not "girls" because it's more repsectful. I know that's probably pretty disgusting to some of you, knowing that "girls" grow up and become more independent and emotionally stable, but I like to think of them as equal individuals, because they are.

PC gamers, listen up:

I think that's why Diablo III always online, seeing as it basically forces women to play with creepy guys. If I had a gaming PC, I would definitely play with them just so they wouldn't have to deal with you guys. Then again, I'm sure they're all gone before some fat neckbeard even has the opportunity tell them what he likes to do after he's accidently spilled mountain dew on his dorito-stained dick.

Anyway, try to look for ways to criticize this video instead of acknowledging that you're unnecessarily putting these female PEOPLE (emphasis on the PEOPLE) through hell.

I always find it quite funny how a lot of guys change in their way of behaving, in public, when a female gamer joins the chat/party/game/lobby/etc.

They either become sexist douchebags or they become hopeless beggers who act like they never seen a girl/woman in years and has finally encountered an opportunity to interact with one. The latter tends to be the guy that tries to treat the female like a queen or something.

I agree with the video, I dislike idiots who treat women differently when they hear their voice, read their gamertag, or look at their avatar. But gaming online is no game community, just a group of individuals who enjoy the same game but don't necessarily have the same views on life or values, and the world has a lot of assholes... in the video they say it themselves.

:cool: I don't treat girls differently online or harrass them. In fact, I have some gamer girls on my friends list and I enjoy playing games with them and I never bring up their gender because it just doesn't matter to me at all.

 I still wondering why do people treat women gamers like that, what exactly do they get out of it?

da_illest101

Psychology suggests that it is a coping mechanism. When one is unable to fulfill his (or her, but c'mon, not going to happen) sexual desires, he downplays the desire and, in essence, denies reality because it's easier for him. That was an abridged version. It's pretty complicated if you've never take any psychology courses, so I simplified it a bit to make it easier to understand.

All I'm thinking while watching that video is "Yeah yeah yeah we get it. Woo women, now get back to gaming"

Ive never cared about the gender of people who play games, but all the 13 year old boys do and they make a big deal out of it.

(I have met one b****y girl gamer, but that's another story for another thread)

Why? Because you know you'll never have sex with any of those beautiful women? Sorry for the overload; I should've warned the ones who don't get to see these every day. :lol:

Beautiful women? haha they all look like your average 3/10 girl gamer, trust me I wouldn't want to have sex with any of them. This is my definition of a beautiful women.

I feel like all your threads are saying the same thing Drasonak

Try coming up with new IPs or something

4.5/10... did not meet hype, flop

Silverbond

This post was made on a PC, so it's obviously at least a 9/10, no matter how overdone it's been.

Also, I am spreading an important message. Maybe if you guys finally understood it, I wouldn't have to. I'm sorry, I just can't sit back and watch gamers, who have the biggest persecution complex in the world next to atheists, ridicule other people who are actually oppressed.

Would you prefer if I make a graphics thread (something that does not matter at all in the grand scheme of things and is constantly changing)? Or how about a thread about everyone's favorite games (biased lists that consist mainly of PC titles)? Or what about a topic on some upcoming AAA blockbuster hit that everyone will be tired of within the first week and simply wait for the next, seeing as gamers are not satisfied, because gaming isn't as fulfilling as they make it out to be? No... I want to post something on the Internet that actually matters.

Ah this topic again... Yes female gamers tend to get harassed by young boys who think they are cool. Well ok it dont happen as much (atleast not in the games that i have played as of late). But its also a self fulfilling prophecy. How do you know if its a boy or a girl behind the character? You dont... Unless they say that they are a woman. So why would they do that unless they want the attention? I dont go around yelling in chat "IM A GUY!!!!"

I know it happens in some voice related things also. But at the same time most people wont bother you... Just DONT reply to people that say these things.

"Do I judge you for being a dude? ...no" This whole video was them judging guys for being guys. 

I have nothing against girl gamers and I am indifferent to them but making a video highlighting your gender in an attempt to stop people highlighting your gender seems so redundant and counter productive.

So getting judged online is something that happens exclusively to female gamers? You've got to be kidding me. I can't even begin to count how many times I've heard guys make fun of other guys for their voice, their avatar, their skills in game, the list goes on. Ok, so females might get more attention because of the "OMG, a girl plays videogames!" reaction which is bound to happen when a large portion of the audience consists of teenage boys under the cover of anonymity. But lets not pretend that this only happens to females.

This sort of treatment of women on the internet is in no way restricted to gamers. Go on any video site like TInychat or Google hangouts and you'll see it. Also, the reason some guys ask for to see boobs is that some girls will do it. lol.

Holy crap most of them are ugly :lol:

 

Not exactly a surprise.

Same thing with guy gamers,most of them aren't that attractive either which is kinda sad :/

This is true for almost everything in the world, not just gaming. The majority of people are not attractive--that's just life.

Not very attractive people  are usually much better in bed that the attractive ones. It´s like very attractive people think that they don´t need to put much effort during the sex because of being attractive already.

It really depends on the person if their good in bed or not.You could be ugly as hell but amazing in bed like a god haha or handsome and good in bed.

Statistic shows ugly people are better in bed (for real) because ugly people have sex like it is their last time (my explanaition :P)

Really? hahaha but wouldn't attractive men get laid more tho? considering their good looks.

Yes. They would, but it doesn´t make them better lovers. It depens on the actitude as well. Sexy people are not the most handsome ones.

The ugly people that have a lot of sex usually compensate their lack of beauty with their actitute and strong will. As an example, look at Rolling Stones.

wait, wut.

for one thing, having lots of sex doesn't make one sexy.. atleast not to me. I find pornstars absolutely disgusting honestly.

I never mentioned porn. What it has to do with my previous post ? I just saying, attractive people don´t necessarily have a lot of sex for being attractive. Physically unattractive people usually develop stronger actitude and will as a compensation for lack of beauty.

If girls didn't want special treatment they'd use regular gamer avatars, use non-gender specific nic names, and not use voice chat. But no, they do all three of those things and then whine about being treated differently. It's as bad as when they go to bars wearing tight, low-cut shirts and pretend to be offended when they catch you staring at their rack. Women are insufferable and only good for one thing, and it ain't gaming...

Honestly, online harrasment is not exclusive to females :?

I'm well aware that they have to deal with alot of crap, but so do the rest of us and I can't say my female MMO compatriots did'nt tend to flirt.

 

Noone should have to deal with harassment when gaming, but I'm not so sure that that females experience more grief than we do, as much as they experience a different kind of grief.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal evidence but this problem is not exclusive to PC, if fact I'd go as far to say that it happens more on consoles.

If women want to be treated equal then they should act equal, shut the fuk up and bottle it in like us men. Also, interesting observation, but not one piece of talent in the video.
