Poll: Are girl gamers a nuisance?

[SqueeFactor]

I don't think so, let's clear that now.

It seems that when girls hop onto an online game, many of the responses from the male majority are sexist, rude, or tasteless. Then (so i've heard) they're flooded with friend requests because THERES A GURL ONLINE SHOOTING PPL OMFG SHE MUST BE HAWT. Why are girls subjected to that when they are there for the same reason guys are? Are video games really viewed as a 'guys only' activity? I for one love female gamers, and who shouldn't? They even out the playing field and lets face it, girl gamers are just plain freakin awesome. So why the hatred?

Side note: I am a guy. You may have caught that from my avatar over there. <-

Treating a girl gamer any different is sexist regardless of wether it is positive or negative descrimination.

 

[JRCB]

Most of the girls I meet on LIVE are complete attention whores and jerks as well. Fortunately, there are still a few who play like any decent gamer does.

And as a side note, I treat everyone the same on LIVE (unless they prove to be an asshole).

Meh, my girlfriend's a gamer and whenever we play Uncharted 2 she always gets a bunch of friend requests. Especially if she's on her headset.

 

[Disaster Button]

Depends on how they behave, just like every other gamer regardless of gender.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I don't often meet girl gamers, but most of the ones I have met are resonable, so I don't treat them any differently. There just people after all. If I met a humpback whale on a game then I'd be surprised.

 

[Mr. Grey]

Depends on how they behave really. I would expect the same maturity from anyone regardless of gender, then again it's hard to expect anything mature with how some people manage to act.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Only when they have the world "girl" (or any other world like that) in their Username/gamer tag and then ***** about idiots hitting on them

Heck, I would never date a girl gamer. It would be annoying.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

This thread is a match, igniting in a haystack.

OT: Us guys are always gonna act like idiots because we think it impresses girls, in every walk of life.

There are about 3 types of gamer girls; the bitchs, the attention whores/whores and the "just one of the guys." The bitches basically think they're better then most of the other people on the game and well are never happy with loot and anything for that matter. The whores use the fact they they're a girl to get attention and flirt with any and everyone in game and in vent. "Just one of the guys" girl gamers, the group I fit in, just want to be treated equally and may or may not let everyone know they're girls; the girls in this group tend to be the better gamers or the other groups and well just want to be like everyone else in WoW, Halo or any other game. Girls have a right to be in games much like guy but if they act like the first two groups then I would much like them to know play games the force them to play with others, they give girl gamers a bad name.

No.

Are sexist male gamers who give female gamers a hard or uncomfortable time by either hitting on them or obnoxiously voicing their disbelief that a girl is playing a nuisace? Fuck yes.

 

[Hybrid Sight]

I treat girl gamers just like anyone else.

 

[Galad]

Nah, they're not much different from guy gamers usually, and when they are, they're just distinctive in an amusing way.

Of course, that's just my online experience, probably different than yours

 

[Gladion]

Girl gamers are just as annoying as boy gamers. I.e. most of them are outrageously annoying. I don't see any differences between male and female gamers. Well, males might be just a little bit more annoying. I found more girls at least know how to behave.

 

[SqueeFactor]

It's not right that they're treated differently.

But I understand why people are usually like "ZOMG" when a girl is playing. From what I've seen, a girl playing an online FPS is extremely rare.

Fact. That's where the words fly.

 

[Wayte]

Not really. Granted the only one I know is waaaaay too up tight and on edge. but I think that's more Bottom-botch syndrome than anything relating the extra X chromosone and an Xbox.
