I know i am taking this out of context, so I am asking for clarification? are you talking about Riku, KwarK? I really hope not. Uh yeah someone linked me to it before. I've lost it btw

Well this twist of adult content kind of makes it a whole new ballgame imo, which is why im askin. Im sure other guys are interested in this too.

Forgot to mention that in you experiences as "a girl on th3 interwebs" didn't you, riku?
Wow you disgust me. This community holds it self higher than the usual 4chan crowd your used to.

Is there some "plutonic" box on here I can check so I can just make friends?
No one has messaged me with stuff like that either. In fact, the only two times I've ever been messaged on TL was continuing a blog argument that hit a tangent outside of the OP's scope and an inquiry of where my CSL group was meeting!
I'm sure there are pockets to talk with, make friends, and participate more with community-ing, but I don't believe it's the blog section. I like it here since it's very entertaining, but it doesn't seem like the place where we message each other and arrange a skype hangout and mass multiplayer or something (which would, admittedly, be awesome!). Though, there are a bunch of regulars, so I can recognize a lot of recurring names and get excited when I see their responses.
So it would seem that the anonymity also accompanies depersonalization.
Plus we have to gauge the average poster. We have everything here from seasoned chan troll to 15-year-old drama child. It's an eclectic mix for sure, and definitely sets the stage for a lot of flaming, trolling, (table flipping), and girl blogs. But that would just dwell on the negatives. I like the diversity and the volatile atmosphere in the discussions!
And since making friends is awesome, I'm going to make a "platonic box" for my signature...as soon as I find out how!

Guess you cant live down your past on the internet. Interesting how these communities tie together despite the hate they seem to spew towards each other.

let's see YOUR picture then haha underneath a blog that is titled white male minority gamer lol

It's not attention whoring if you cover your tits with your hand, geez some people...

What an entertaining blog (well more the responses then the actual blog) to wake up to and read!
Personally I liked JingleHell's argument~ He made good points and then was kind of dodged... :<
And now we have a nice little twist
|
Well the 9 photo set on 4chan didnt contain any direct nudity though, so there may be different ends at play - for one perhaps the desire for feedback regarding appearance, compliments for increasing confidence, yet desire to remain classy and hence covering explicit areas of body.

I can't understand why this post hasn't been closed it.
This is clearly getting out of hand...
|
I feel like this blog is a trap.
|
Actually girls get a lot of unwanted attention online. The consequences much outweigh the benefits. People need to learn to just give them silent respect.

I agree. The whole point is just to give girl gamers more respect than they currently have. Set up a system so that confirmed female players can mark down the rude players. We need more female gamers anyways. Who wants to log in each day to a sausagefest?
