So just be careful with those N bombs. People might get hurt. (Edit: Also please remember how all your other posting has been received quite positively.)
Perhaps, perhaps, perrrhaps.

I think you know as well as I do that there's a trend if you've played WoW - and I believe you do or have played in the past. I mean, it's no secret that big ole' WoW nerds will give outrageous amounts of attention to girls, especially in MMO's - or so it seems. Naturally, it's common for some the ladies to like that kind of attention and actually, some actively look for more. I'm not saying that that's what you're doing, let me make that clear right away.
I apologize if you're just doing your thing, which you very well might be. I shouldn't judge. I often hear that some people say "a few girls are ruining for everyone else" in this scene. When I played WoW, it was inevitable that every couple of months, naked pictures of some girl would start circulating until she quit. Maybe it's girls like that that make idiots like me facepalm when I see topics like this one, though perhaps it's a legit blog post and not a way to get attention.
Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic. Sorry about that.
Edited: something weird happened.
I do not confirm to anyone outside of my guild what my gender is. I always answer to "are you a girl?" or "hey, riku, I hear you're hott" with "I'm a bear!" Truthfully, I find that SC fans are generally more mature than WoW players, so I was hoping that'd hold true.
Also, if I wanted to post to get attention, I would like to think I'm intelligent enough to do so in more subtle ways!!!

The second post I ever saw you make was a picture of yourself dressed in a very skimpy costume, the first was an op inviting the question. Just saying, also I do the same thing but usually the compliments come when I'm inside the room if you know what I'm saying + Show Spoiler [What I'm saying] +
I don't garner many compliments but when I do, they concern my naked form

But yeah pants are awful.
*RAAGGEEEE*
Sorry, I just hate the whole distinction about being a female. Truthfully, I have often wondered if I should just exclude it completely from all of my posts and comments.
I want to rant about balance in games, I want to rave about my favorite characters and foods and I don't want people reading my blog or posts just because I have mammary glands. I am not a "gamer girl." I will by all means call myself a gamer, but I don't think there is any difference between real male and female gamers.
I think I'll keep my next few blogs focused solely on games and away from my life and opinions until this stupid "omg, it's a girl" drama chills out.
Haha I used to be sooooo like you. Somewhere in my decrepit blog here on TL is a long angry post about just wanting to be a normal gamer and not get extra attention for gender and such. Backfired for the most part, but whatever. Basically you've just got to relax.
You can rant about imbalance. You can trash talk opponents. You can babble endlessly about food. You probably shouldn't make blog posts about how much you like being naked.
Is it fair? No, not quite. A guy could probably make a thread about how much he loves freeballin' or captain commando, (which made me LOL btw whoever that was), and not get too much flak for it. You've got to just stop caring, because you absolutely can't stop people from reacting in such ways, (especially when previous blog posts are just cosplay and such, which again, I've posted in the past too so, I get where you're coming from)
not only would we get less flak, hardly anyone would care. who wants to talk about another guys junk. at best it would turn into a topic about talking about our own penises. which is something a lot of men love doing, the reasons for which are beyond my comprehension.
And shorts all the way - the one time I've been naked in the room (decided to eat before I got dressed after the shower) the firealarm went off in the dorm. Which resulted in me standing outside in my now ex-girlfriends skirt - was the closest thing lying around. On the upside, I was later awarded with an award for the sexiest legs in the dorm...

Oh, you're a girl. My world has been shattered. You must understand, this is like when I made the other world shattering discovery - namely, the SkiFree monster.

I appreciate your concern, but I have been playing MMOs and roaming the interwebs for the past 10 years of my life. My "rage" comments was more of a joke than anything. However, if I want to talk about enjoying being naked, then I will. If it blows up, well, then good for the people who wasted their time ranting at me. Trust me, I don't really care, but I do want to give a truthful view of myself to those who have been following me. I'm a loud-mouth who loves beer and video games and cosplay and lounging around in the nude. Sure, I have a set of jugs, but I think a number of gamers do (that was a moobs joke, btw). I'm not going for attention, I'm just being me, and I don't care who gets their panties in a knot over it.

Tastes terrible, especially light beer. Holy shit light beer tastes bad. I imagine a 50-50 mix of piss and shit probably tastes about the same. Certain flavored vodkas are decent, but yea. Don't really like alcohol.
edit - shit was not supposed to use post 4k until I finished something... NOOO next perfect square ending in 000 is at 9000 fmlll
edit2 - wait no im retarded and on crack LOLOLOL can't do math wow
I'm not trying to baby you, lol. You're a big girl with 10 years of internets experience (tm). I'm merely pointing out that posting about how much you love to be naked on a forum consisting of primarily men aged 18-24, might attract a bit of the very same unwanted attention you just decried.
If you don't care what other people think, which is all I recommended in the first place, then we're in agreement, lol.

hahahaha
where in the world are men and women treated the same as if we were all the same gender?
This doesn't happen often and definitely will not be common in our life time. In small groups of friends that know each other really well it happens but I can't think of many other places.
As to the stereotype of gamer girls being attention whores... stereotypes exist for a reason. After posting pics of yourself cosplaying Alexstrasza (sp?) then writing a blog (on the internet, anonymity does wonders for stupid opinions) about how you love being naked i can't see how you would ever fathom you'd get mature responses.
I understand it's your blog and it's really not outrageous but I'd recommend either a) Ignore troll/flamebait posts b) Keep your blogs on topics that you would be comfortable talking to a random group of 16-28 year old boys about.
If being naked falls under b) I'd heavily recommend a)
Quick questions, will you be marrying a male nurse? and will he out drink you?
I totally agree. Clothes are for the weak. The best times of my life are when nobody is home and I can just wander round the house naked with some pumping music.
And yeah I don't get girls taking so long to get dressed. All the girls I know spend ages trying on different combinations of things before parties etc. I guess they find it fun. Personally I just grab the first thing I see on the floor and wear that, and I think I look pretty decent most of the time too
