Woman And Computer Games

[Jez_Gafys]

I would just like to point out how I dont think its fair how some girls are treated when they are good at computer games. Ive known a lot of good girl players (#badgirlsclan) all of which are very good and should deserve that respect, but you find a lot of lads abuse the fact that a female can possibly be a good player. I mean the other night I was playing RA3 which my name is Emexrulsier, I convinced someone I was a top female player called Emma, I then started to get a lot of abuse saying I should be playing games, and get back to the kitchen or something, they also couldnt beleive I was a female because apparenlt I was to good for one.

at the end of the day Im just trying to point out to everyone that girls can be just as equal and even better then us lads at computer games, and shouldnt really have to take any abuse just because they have a hobbie like many other ppl. Also notice how many sexist remarks come as soon as someone announces that they are a female gamer on a server...

[KermitTheFrag]

err yeah - i know exactly what you mean. It's male ego thats the problem. The best Tribes 2 player I know is female ;)

[TelexStar]

i thought it was totally the opposite! Girl gamers are a rare thing and when one comes along they are treated like gold dust (in my experience anyway :D )

The CS clan i'm in often change our names when we hit a public server. I turn from being [NBK-IGC]TelexStar to [GIRLZ]Tina. Everyone starts going mad and tries to flert etc etc its soo hilariously sad :D Their puny minds almost explode when its the whole clan.

lol id agree with u mate i would have thought girl gamers would be treated great as there are not so many of them

[Eskimo]

lol

both Bootz and Nekros are top players at DreamLAN better than the blokes, and i think most would admit it too :D

gg wp

[TelexStar]

To provoke a reaction.

Using the woman skin in UT is actually better imho as theres less of it to shoot. Then again tits get in the way if you get shot side on so its a compromise...

[Mingtea]

how about the nali war cow

headshots are hard :)

IMO that's just the same as cross-dressing offline.

[TelexStar]

is it? i had'nt thought of that. Well not really, cross dressers don't cross dress for the reaction they get (well not real ones anyway) Its just funny to see how people totally change their attitude when they think they're talking to a girl. The illusion does'nt last long cuz as soon as i use in game voice com in CS they start to click :)

Not sure. Killing the Xan robot dude 2 is easier than anyone else...

[Mingtea]

yeah it is funny what the whole gamming communitys views towards women are. I think its this whole "they are female they are on irc and they obviously fancy me" syndrome. ITS JUST NOT TRUE.

that goes for you also WiseWashu.

[Bootz]

I'm all for female gamers, but all-female clans can be another issue.

I've also visited the bg clan website, and irc chan, as well as this (now disbanded) clan GGG HERE (http://www.girlsgotgame.nu/members.html) or #girls (a most original irc chan). One of the girls Sophie has her own irc fan channel.

A list of girl-clans can be found HERE (http://www.badgirlsclan.com/pages/main/links.html)

Whats more amusing is the fact these irc'ers think they're something special to these gamers. eg. once i asked if any of them were there (to discuss possible clan war), and some protective bloke said 'thats so sad trying to pick up girls on irc'.

mmmmmk......and you are idleing here because???

Also do you find other clans disallowing female players into the clan? Nope,

Yet these girl clans want to be all-girl, to prove a point, to be feministic maybe? yet idolised by males, which they so readily accept.

Hmmm, maybe a bit of hipocracy amongst all-female clans?

Thats just my opinion.

But for more research I might trial for one of these clans, so I get an inner understanding of the aim of these gamers.

[Angelus]

You have to let us know how ur research goes Bootz, I for one would be interested to know what u find out

[Bonkers]

GGG Webby: They say that a woman have to be twice as good as man to succeed...but how hard is that ?

Bootz: Yet these girl clans want to be all-girl, to prove a point, to be feministic maybe? yet idolised by males, which they so readily accept.

I think Bootz is right really - there doing it becuase they want/NEED attention, to be differnt, maybe they get off on it? like some other sick perv we know *cough* JP *cough*

Fine they proved a point - women can be good/better at games than men, but isnt it the same with everything non physical? and does it need to be taken so far?

People like this irritate me TBH

Did you mean to say maybe a bit of hipocracy amongst all-females


BZZT! Argh, there goes that cynical, bitter side again. Excuse me while I fetch my blue pills.

Thats skin is the single reason for the existance of the force default models option. :) although that doesnt work very well if they get the shield belt. as the glowing effect is in the shape of the cow and the skin is a male soldier :)

But back to the point. I have met loads of femail UT players. (kermit included :rolleyes: ) who are just as good as their mail counterparts.

[Bootz]

lol afty, yes that too.

[Jez_Gafys]

right ive never ever told anyone this but I played CS for badgirlsclan under the name JessicaRabbit


It was kinda a bet from my RA3 clan to see if I could get a trail. They actually asked if I could send a picture of myself and even talk on the phone to make sure I was a girl (arent sisters great :)


But yes they really are just out to prove that "The female of the specise is more deadlier then the male" :)

[TelexStar]

hehe nice try. what did u say?

[Bootz]

lol, pld. What were they like together? The way they regarded people?

[Cyberdude]

Now your online-cross dressing is becoming more serious .......

Do you just do this at the wekends jessica ??



LOL

Cd:madhatter

[Angelus]

Telex is very proud of his ability to pretend to be a girl convincingly :D j/k

[TelexStar]

hehe that soon fades as soon as i speak however. :)

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

YOUR the original GIRLZ Tina OMG STFU! :D

You know its me!!! And you know why its me (cos I tried to chat up Tina from S Club 7, but she didnt like my line and I pissed her off).

[TelexStar]

*cough* errrm excuse me m8ee. I think you'll find that i came up with the idea and Tina is me!!!! now get your bitchy hands orf me *slap* *slap* *slap* *slap* :D

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

Do not even go there girl! Speak to hand cos the face aint listening!!!!!!! :)

[TelexStar]

too much Jeri Springer for u! :)

[Eskimo]

and now for my final thought....


.... no dam its gone, what are we talking about ? :p:

[Noodleman]

Respect to female gamers.

Dont see what all the fuss is about. If someone is good at a game, does it matter what sex they are? Naaaaaaaaa.

I think the stress comes when the lads get their asses kicked by the gals and cant hack it lol.

Well, I know i get well narked when I get my ass kicked by anyone (which is well to often)

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

And thats coming from a guy who has Noodles are a girls best friend in his sig.

Riggggggggggggght :D :D :D

[Noodleman]

ROFL,

Well I couldn't think of anything whitty and silly at the time lol.

i will live my dream for now lol.

Oh I'm so glad another girl agrees with me :)

From my profile on the (sadly currently defunct) strych.co.uk site:

Most Common Rant: "GrrrlG4m3rz" - For the love of God. No-one CARES what sex you are online, unless you're in a Yahoo! chatroom.

GirlGamerz campaign for sexual equality by purposely segregating themselves from the rest of the gaming community, then continually moaning about it. I am a gamer. I am also a girl. In my opinion, these two facts have no bearing whatsoever on each other.

I particularly hate GirlGamerz who call themselves after their boyfriend/husband's online nick. A certain "mrs_wolf" (wife of "crazy_wolf") once dismissed this gross lack of creativity and blatant step backwards for gender equality by explaining "It shows that I'm married so I don't get chatted up on CounterStrike servers" However, if you didn't have a name that revealed your gender, surely you wouldn't get chatted up in the first place? Or should I change my nick to "[Im_4n_unm4rri3d_g1rl_but_don7_ch4t0r_m3_up_pl34s3]Strych[g1rlg4m3rz_r00l]"? I will retract this statement the day one of my love interests goes on a server as "Mr_Strych"

[Jez_Gafys]

they are a few Mr gamers out there but whether theres a Mrs as well is another thing.

in [TA] (Wildfire can vouch for this)

we had a Mr_Wrinkles, u never know could there have been a Mrs_Wrinkles...

[Big Giant Head]

must edit patch's cfg's at the next stratlan then I guess.....

[Afty]

I have played before as Mr_UnderTheThumb
