Another Female Gamers Rant
3 August, 2009  |  One comment  |  Rants

FYI, I try not to cuss in my posts. This is my exception for the month XD “Everyone gets one.” Thanks Spiderman!

I hate having to rant about this. I really do. There are times when that rage just takes over. It was my own fault. I clicked the bad link that meant I would be taken to the bad girl whining and complaining about how gaming females are treated like crap online. She even had the nerve to mention that in World of Warcraft females are called “cunts, sluts, whores, etc.” What World of Warcraft are you playing?! Or let me be blunt, what the hell were you doing to be called that? Did you rob the guild bank or something?

Allow me to bring up some points for some of you females that feel you are disrespected because of your gender.

Everyone gets made fun of online. Period. It has nothing to do with your gender. Do you think guys don’t get called “fags, bitches, (insert some term about small penises here)” ? If you think guys are nice to guys you clearly haven’t played online. People get angry. Thanks to the anonymous identity online games give us mouths tend to run wild.

Quit thinking each insult you hear is a personal attack on you being a female. Get called a noob? Did you do something noobish? Then you’re a noob. If not then the other guy’s a noob for trying to call you out. Wait, wait, wait. They must of called you a noob because they knew you were a girl! That’s it! What a sexist bastard.

Don’t bring it on yourself! Seriously. Talking trash like “You’re gonna get beat by a girl!” “You just got owned by a girl!” “I’m a girl and I just beat you!” will just make it worse. If you lose, they’ll do everything they can in their power to make sure you know you just lost. They’ll throw every insult in the book your way. If you win, you just look like a bitch. Congrats.

Example A:

At the 2:40 mark you’ll see PMS talking trash to the other team. “Don’t be afraid to get beat by girls.” PMS lost. How does that make them look? Not good. Not good for anyone. These guys were mild too. So mild that it makes you think if PMS didn’t talk trash in the first place would the other team have even said anything?

Look, I understand you want equality. I do too. But the more I see whining and complaining the more it becomes clear that it’s not equality that you want, it’s special treatment.

Do you honestly feel that girls are targeted with hate online for no reason other than they are girls? Or do you think there is something else behind it?

Oh! And I solemnly swear I will stop clicking on links that I know will take me to the bad places so I can stop making these rants.

I really hate it when girls throw their gender around in video games. It makes us all look bad.

They're just reinforcing the very stereotype that they supposedly are trying to fight (girls are inferior to boys at gaming) by making a big fuss over the whole "oooo, you lost to a giiiiiirl" thing.

And I agree. What are they doing that they're getting called these names? O_o Because throwing the "I'm really a girl" thing around in Trade channel while the Trade trolls are talking about how all girl gamers are fat/ugly/hermaphrodites is kind of asking for a thrashing. It's not right that they say those things, no, but you're right. They bring it on themselves.

Last Names For Your FF14 Character

Who else groaned when they found out they HAD to choose a last name? I know I did. Not because having a last name was any more of a bother than having a first name, but damnit now I have to think of a good one. There's a reason why I typically keep the same name throughout MMOs or RPGs.. it's because I don't like others. Read more

Honcast’s Podcasts

I enjoyed doing the podcasts with Honcast staff members, Breaky and XanderK. I enjoyed chatting it up on recent games especially since Gray Fox doesn't watch them. It's nice to say "Oh my god, did you see H4nn1's Fayde that last game?" and actually have someone know who H4nn1 is. Gray Fox was learning, but most conversations ended with me giving off team rosters and what they typically played.  Read more

Mass Effect 2 and Console Fanboys

With Jon's homecoming a few months ago he received a PS3. For some reason I despised looking at it. It's odd how I've developed a sense of Xbox360 fanboyism. Before, my consoles lived harmoniously together, my PS2 parallel to my Xbox. But for some reason.. this PS3 disgusted me. Read more
