The idiots weed themselves out for you. The same for those who are trying to treat girls super nice on the intarweb, like you are doing right now to gain + points with her. | ||

Numerous times, she was korean so I didn't feel that bad. But I never give girls special treatment or treat them differently from guy gamers. I know girls put up with a lot of bs and theres of course always scandals haha.  | ||

They are sore losers and flaunt their femininity and when they win against a guy who they normally cannot they talk about it for the next month.

If it makes no difference anyway and most of the attention you receive is unwanted, why bring it up at all? I don't tell everyone I meet online that I'm a guy. Don't be sorry, I'm not. It's pretty hard to hide it without flat out lying. It's not like I go tell everyone I meet, "hey btw i'm a girl." For example, when people ask me my name.. I don't exactly have a name that could pass for a guy's. Or when people ask me where I'm going or what I did over the weekend, "I saw my boyfriend," is my most common response. I think going out of my way trying to hide it just isn't worth my effort. I'll take the alternative. | ||

If I met you on bnet and saw you to be decent, I definitely wouldn't believe that you were a girl until I saw you on webcam or something similar.. There are just way too many posers out there, and a picture is just way too easy to fake. But you shouldn't care how people treat you on B.net anyway, not sure you realize but most people on bnet are like 12-16 yrs old. Immature would be an understatement. A lot of the older players retired or just don't play as much anymore. You'll find a lot more maturity in other games such as pay to play MMO's or FPS games where the average gamer is like 28-30 yrs old. | ||

To me, it seems like being a female gamer has turned into somewhat of a joke. The reality is, there are more guys than girls and probably more guys pretending to be girls than real girls playing SC. Every time I've seen someone on Bnet say they are female, the automatic response is "REALLY???", "no way. you're a dude", or "can I fuck you?" I admit to having made the first two remarks. Yeah, I don't really understand why people need to maintain a close relationship with people they don't know in real life either. I think it's just better to not reveal your gender at all. | ||

it's like "hey guys :3 go easy on poor little ol' me, you see i'm a girl" *thihi, THIS will get those silly nerds to start drooling of my picture and tell me how cute i am, FUCK YEAH CONFIDENCE BOOST!* slight exaggeration of course I have been a part of tons of communities/game clans/guilds/whatever since i first started using the internet and i don't think i have ever gotten the question "are you a guy or a girl?" when i first meet people, at least not until you really start to know the person and talk more often etc. So when he/she finally asks you that question like a couple of weeks later or so i highly doubt they would instantly start saying stuff like "suck my cock bitch" when he finds out you are a girl, unless you're really trying to let everyone know you're a girl i don't really see the problem.

If a guy is disgusted by a girl showing up on Starcraft he needs get his head examined, or removed. On March 09 2008 02:06 Niji-z wrote: Why would I want to have any kind of relationship with anyone who was so degrading to me at one point? That's pretty much what it's like to be a guy in real life. You have to prove yourself worthy whenever you are the "new guy" and people will give you a hard time no matter what, but as soon as you get familiar with the people there's no problem at all. Me and my friends still mess with each other. For example, when we are out walking or something and my friend slips and fall on his head i call him a fucking dumbass and laugh, but he knows i'm not being serious about it.

Comments like "You only got into that team because you're a girl" really make me angry. Of course I will adamently deny any such thing, but in my mind I begin to think, "What if he's right? What if they only let me in because I'm a girl?" I cannot stand the thought of that. That and people going easy or letting me win because I am a girl. It it the most insulting thing you could do or say to me. You'd be surprised if you knew how some of the guys think, back when i played WoW we had a girl join our guild but she barely knew how to play the damn game, and we were a guild who was grabbing all the server first kills and stuff like that. Another example is Ragnarok back in the days, say you were pretending to be a girl and "e-marry" some dumbfuck you'd be the richest "girl" on the server in a matter of minutes, it's pathetic.

As far as I'm concerned, you're just another poster on TL. I'm more likely to try to get to know you, of course, because you're a GIRL, but for the most part I'm going to evaluate you using the same criteria I judge everybody else here: do you contribute? are you respectful? do your posts make me want to cringe? So you're a girl. Why bring attention to that fact? Lots of girls play starcraft, enough for me to have met a few on bnet. It's common knowledge you're treated differently from guys. What's there to discuss? This is human nature. It's not exactly killing your self esteem, now is it? Maybe this post was just too deep for me to understand. But I think it's unneeded. Which isn't to say anything about your character. I don't know you enough to judge, but I just don't see the point of this. | ||
