My point is that she deserves the same type of acceptance that we'd give a 17-year-old guy who comes to the blog section to post a whiny, involved story about how some girl smiled at him and then kneed him in the groin when he asked for a date and what should he do? That kind of thing gets 5 to 10 pages of gentle sympathy and encouragement, for one reason only, because the predominantly male readers of this site empathize with his post. Indeed. And many of these posts get extra sympathy for the sad reason that sex and relationships is terra incognita for a big chunk of the TL crowd.

Although I do disapprove her attitude, it's a user-to-user relation and she can just chose to ignore. What bothers me the most, as I have stated before, are the readers. And this is why I said that it isn't much about her, but about the phenomenon of "attention whores"/"whoreshippers". However, please note that I always use "those" as a way to refer to the phenomenon and not using it as an insult towards the persons involved. This is my last post since it is a blog after all, sorry to have participated in the hijack. | ||

I can vouch for this. I wouldn't post nearly as many dick pics of myself online if people didn't keep telling me I have a small penis. | ||

I know exactly what sexism is If you don't think Haemonculus has tried to hide her gender on these forums, then you're completely blind. I think she's hid that she's a girl about as much as most of us hide that we're guys Perhaps she had good reason to, but you can see how judgmental she became about Riku's story. Her reply was a defense of Nevergg's continually silly posts and never once did she ask for details such as whether Riku actually had things to defend herself or if she was dressed like that the entire weekend. She jumped straight on the "you should've been raped for doing that" bandwagon. And that's what the cries of "attention whore" are about. People are trying to be themselves and if they happen to be female, we decry them for that. Either they dress racy so they're asking to be raped or they talk about themselves so they deserve to be mocked. These are all just rationalized justifications to demean someone for openly being feminine. Please. lol wtf? she posted something that any guy could have posted, including me, because its her opinion. but because she's a girl you think it's "just rationalized justifications to demean someone for openly being feminine". you've decided she's "being catty" without any actual basis and that's exactly why it's sexist. you haven't even come close to showing how I am wrong. I guess she will have to just stick to posting her opinion in reply to guys only lest she be risking a takeover from her overwhelming nature to compete with females. sorry for derailing your blog rikku but it happens haha | ||

travis, let's be honest. Trying to make you understand why you're wrong would require far more than just one blog per day. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yFm6R.png) oh man im really glad i picked this one I still don't understand why everything a girl does on the internet instantly becomes attention whoring. There have been more 'unsightly' pics of males on TL and it's not like there have been controversial stories with males either. | ||

Someone even accused of "going out of her way to post pictures"? OH MY GOD! An interesting blog? Sounds like an apology is needed! | ||

With that said, I can see why some of the things Riku says could lead others to jump to those conclusions or rub people the wrong way. We will always judge others regardless of the medium. Even if you aren't aware of it. Too bad much is lost over the internet. It's one of the worst mediums to communicate your ideas. One reason I don't text, use facebook or twitter for that matter. If I want to talk to someone I'll meet them somewhere. I digress. Let's revisit the notion of judging and first impressions. This isn't some new phenomena. Men do it just as much as women; although, our protocols are slightly different though. Considering very few women post on these forums... I find myself repeating the same question! What the hell did you expect? These scenarios will stick out like a sore thumb. ETT gets it. We should be happy to have such women like NeverGG and Riku be part of our community. | ||

Seriously, you are just jealous that when you blog/post this many people dont respond to you. or else why would you give two shits about how many responses she gets? Like seriously, who are you kidding, you are just jealous that a girl gets more attention than you on a SC2 site, when you OBVIOUSLY know more about SC2. Guess what...people are going to always give more attention to the most obviously different post/poster because we get 1,000's of blog posts from nerdy guys, whereas we get 1/1000 from nerdy girls so everyone is more interested in the stuff they dont read in every blog. But keep crying "attention whore" it will seriously get you more attention....(/sarcasm) And who the hell cares if she wants attention? If you are so offended by her wanting attention why are you giving it to her by posting in her blog thread? Dear Riku, You can have my attention anytime. =). PS. I would have totally given you a ride home i was at Blizzcon 2008,9,10, and will be there this year as well. And not as a creeper or anything, cause i had a gf at the time, but because I am just a nice guy and live locally in so-cal. Also, to comment about why the nerdy attendants of Blizzcon don't talk to you is simply (well i had a gf during the past 3 blizzcons so I guess this is just my pretty accurate assumption.) because they don't want you to think they are one of "those nerdy creepy guys who hit on me just cause im the cute girl at the convention. People dont wanna be those creepy guys who hit on you,etc. because everyone assumes that you are getting hit on by super nerdy guys every 10 feet, and dont want to be one of those creepers. Just my $.02 tho, I know this is how my friend is, cause when we would go I would jokingly say "go say hi to her" and nod at any cute girl at blizzcon but he just would say "and be one of the 10000 drooling nerds who are going to hit on her this weekend? Ya I am sure she would love that." IDK just my thoughts/opinion, everyone assumes you are getting so many creepers/so much attention they dont want to be annoying to you. PS Haters gonna Hate. and TL is FULL of jelly haters. | ||
