Because you have boobs and a vagina.
That turns us on.
We don't act the same around boob vagina people. We can try, but it never is truly the same.

Sigh, just a minor rant. For the most part I try to ignore sexism on the internet. Anonymity is a wonderful thing, and lets me game just fine for the most part. But every once in a while something happens that just irks me...

So I hop on TL and check the streams. Orb, a friend of mine from highschool is streaming some 1v1 action in SC2. I hop on vent, join his channel, and ask if he wants to do some 2v2's. I can apparently be heard on the stream. The reaction to my sudden appearance is frustrating. I should really remember to turn off the damned chat window on those streams...

"Woah who's the female?"
"She sounds fat."
"Wait who's the girl?"
"Girls don't play starcraft."
"That girl shows up on several TL streams"
"What's she look like?"
"Pictures?"
"She's probably just an attention whore"
"LOL girl playing SC must be ugly"
"Girls only play games to get male attention."
"Is she any good?"
"Wait who's the chick?"
"cam whore prolly"

etc etc etc...

Ugh. I play lots of different video games because I ENJOY them. And I could probably kick your ass in quite a few of them as well. Not as some gimmick to get attention, but because they're fun. I like the challenge, the speed, the strategy, etc. I play these games for the same reasons you do!

And why bring up my appearance? What the shit does that have to do with anything? I'm no supermodel, but I'm far from some cloistered fatty, ugh. There is so much importance placed on female looks in the real world, and now I have to deal with it on the internet? While trying to play SC2? As resilient as I am to that sort of thing, YES I get self conscious.

Sometimes it really sucks being one of the only girls in a group. This collective attitude is one of the reasons there are so few girls in gaming in the first place. It just feels like there's too much expected of us. I go to local events worrying about my appearance, as retarded as that is. I even *know* it's stupid, but I still can't help but worry a bit. No, I'm not gorgeous, but I'll kick your ass in SC2. Why can't that be good enough?

Ugh, it's just frustrating that it all affects me like it does, even when I'm conscious of it. I watch these other streams and people are all commenting on the player's ability and skill at the game, not their presumed appearance. Just.... grrr


So you want to be treated like 'one of the guys' on the internet and you try accomplish that by a. posting your picture in ur tl.net profile b. going on stream showing ur female voice and c. making a blog just to make sure everyone who didn't listen to the stream (so like 1000x more people) finds out you're female. Pretty intelligent.

You're just mad that in IRL being a game loving girl gets you all sorts of positive attention from male nerds, whereas online it often gets you negative attention (which is what you're trying to turn around by making this blog.)

And: all girls almost always worry about their appearances whenever they go places so uhh..welcome to being a girl? (and the ones who act like they dont care what they look like are the most insecure of females)

Not really sure what you're saying. If you mean how i would know shes the only girl on tl that kept it quiet. Thats why i wrote i think. There might be a girl on tl who people recognize who's a girl that no one knows its just i havent seen any yet. Its just i always noticed her name from way back and i remember like a year ago it was pretty big when people found she was a girl because of how long she kept it. Like most girls make a blog on their first post saying how they're a girl.

you don't get it so i'll explain it to you. for all you know there could be 100 girls on the site who haven't revealed their identity as you only know they are girls once they reveal it, thus saying "actually i think shes actually the only girl on tl i think that kept the fact that shes a girl for so long" is a retarded statement even if you preface it with 'i think'

The entire point of the op is that she shouldn't have to hide or promote the fact that she's a girl, and get treated much differently for either. Your response is obviously going to be "that's the way it is" which is what the problem is.

Disagreed. I think it's the combinatino of rarity and the fact that most male gamers don't have the opportunity to meet women.


It's just that if a guy is an attention whore, he doesn't often get called one, there really is a different standards thing going on here.


I think a few people have called Mora on it.


it's occurred to me that i cannot respond in any manner that isn't attention whoring.
