[QUOTE="caseypayne69"][QUOTE="biggest_loser"] Whats wrong with it being about homosexuality? Or combating homophobia to be precise? MakeMeaSammitch

I guess I'll continue to be a bigot against the kkk too. 

it makes a good point, but this is the last place to try and make it. ppl here just troll cause they are bored. like ive said before, it should be called boredom wars instead of system wars. If your system was really that great, you would be too busy playing games on it to instead come on a forum and bitch about how great your system is. Oh wait, isnt that someting callred irony? Oh my, what have i done.

Do you honestly think someone plays 1 system 24/7?

ok, maybe some people. The ones that are more interested in the microsoft stock portfolio than the actual games. But still that's a far off assumption.

dangit, those replies were meant for 2 diff threads. Oh well. Dgaf.

These women are every thing wrong with the modern feminist movement a batch of whiners that do much of nothing proactive much like the one feminist frequency moron whom recently scammed loads of money from a kickstarter to produce a youtube series that should have cost 200 bucks. "A feminist that wears big hoop earings, make up, and has her eyebrows plucked" They dont try to make games for women in mind or truly encourage it but complain poor poor me why u not make games for us girls...etc These feminist want equal pay and consideration but still to be treated like women and whats worse is quite a few have a hidden agenda the removal of the masculine.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." 

Using the bible to justify why you don't like gays is just dumb because you're really just picking and choosing what parts of scripture to follow.  Using scripture to back up your established prejudices

It's sad that the gaming community has to have a bad rep towards women.Guys that do creep women out online should be a warning that they need to cut down on gaming and increase there social time outside.Like anything gaming should only be used in moderation.

so you're calling us bigots against bigotry?

I guess I'll continue to be a bigot against the kkk too. 

MakeMeaSammitch

Not being tolerant towards others' beliefs is the definition of bigotry. Which belief is irrelevant. So yes, you can most definitely be "bigot against bigotry".

People like you who think they're on a high ground for having a certain opinion make me laugh. Can you really be dumb enough to not realize you're doing the exact thing you're calling somebody else bigot in a discriminatory tone for? What the hell do you think you can achieve by acting like that?

Taking away the stick someone is using to hit others is not being intolerant

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.

This is a joke. If you don't want sexism in gaming, or anywhere else for that matter, don't give it any attention. This video just fed every troll out there, they decided to not ignore annoying gamers, this is what those guys do it for.

This video serves literally no purpose, NONE. It only shows people who aren't aware of this that girls hear naughty things over the mic. It didn't solve any problem, nor will it, ever.

I don't recall having this problem with female gamers when most of online gaming was still PC-only back in the mid-late 90's. We knew there were several women gamers among us. But, no one gave them any crap unless the offender wanted to be kicked out by the host/server owner(s).

It seems to me all the problems started when the console kiddies were let in.

[QUOTE="caseypayne69"]

Romans 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. http://bible.cc/romans/1-27.htm We are to love each other for who we are but not for what they do. I'm not judging. Just not for it. Won't promote it. Pretty sure my cousin is gay. I still love him, but I don't believe he's on the right oath with God and ill never accept his relationship with another man nor will I promote it.

biggest_loser

No one said that you have to promote it. 

What harm is it if you just have a bit of tolerance for other people's feelings?

The Good Book might condemn it but how does that impact you and why should it be condemned today just because it was written somewhere?

Those views are becoming outdated as more people realise that homosexuals are just like everyone else.

PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

I'M A GIRL

But like...don't give me free treasure and stuff. Unless I ask.

And like...don't ask me what I'm wearing. Unless I want you to.

And don't treat me special. Unless it's extra special.

I used to think this Drasonak guy was a lousy troll, but I gotta admit, he cut himself out a good niche here.

People fall for it every time and his trolling is self sustaining, he doesn't even have to keep the thread going.

I definitely agree!  He was the kind of troll you wanted to have a beer with instead of the troll you want to punch through your monitor.

Top comment sums it up pretty well: 

"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 your gender seems so redundant and counter productive."

It is completely reduntant... Also the last time I played with a gamer that I knew was female, I treated them like any other player, it doesn't change anything. And it bothers me that there are so few hardcore gamer "women" out there (at least that's what I've noticed).

Yeah, can we go back to how females should be making more sandwiches instead of playing video games?

Wonderful to see that the male audience here in SW turn this into a non issue and that there is no problem.trasherhead

If someone is acting like a sexist ass on XBL, report their ass. If on PC, vote to boot them. Thanks to anonymity, there's going to be assholes online. No amount of cheesy manifestos will change that.

So no there really isn't an issue, unless you consider trash talking in general to be an issue, in which case, yes, there is an issue.

These kinds of videos are just a cry for attention.

Bunch of attention seekers if you ask me.

parkurtommo

That is such a ridiculous comment. Its a 'cute' way to try and dismantle their video. 

They're not "highlighting" their gender. That's bull and you know it.

They're talking about cutting out the harassment, sexism, racist, homophobia because they're probably sick of it.

It has nothing to do with them asking for special treatment, if thats what you're implying, so cut the crap.

Oh BS, this is clearly a "female power video" ... there's only girls in that video! And let's all pretend this doesn't happen to anybody on the internet... :roll:

Bet all they play is League of Legends, Dota, Crysis, XCOM, Borderlands, crap like that. Or they have an extremely expensive PC and then they go "Hur dur I'm a girl gamer now! I'm hardcore"

Oh BS, this is clearly a "female power video" ... there's only girls in that video! And let's all pretend this doesn't happen to anybody on the internet... :roll:

Bebi_vegeta

It has nothing to do with female empowerment. They just want a fair shake like everyone else. 

So you think that this happens to everyone right? How many times do guys get someone adding them and having another guy sexually harass them etc?

C'mon man. Level with me here: this isn't about highlighting their gender as females - its simply about how girls want to be left alone to game without the bullying.

People on the Internet get away with far too much because its anonymous. Surely you'd agree with that right?  

Gaming was invented by males and for males. I tend to find it strange when other species enjoy them.

Yes this happens to everyone! Forget about sexual harrassement, there's internet bullys just about anywhere you go.

This video was purely about the gender, there's only freaking girls in the video... they never mention anything other then that almost.

We all want to be free of internet shit talk... not just girls who can have this privilege.

Anyway, if you can't take abuse, don't go on the internet, plain and simple. Either turn off your mic or disable chat or play single player, because no matter what race or gender you are, people will say/do the meanest nastiest shit all the time just to get you worked up.

If you want to be treated the same, don't force attention upon your differences. It's 2013, nobody gives a shit that you're a girl who plays games unless you make it a big deal.
