dontworryitsharmony: dreamcastdrummer: im-olaf-and-i-like-warm-hugs: badwolfcas: I’M SORRY BUT THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF AND I NEEDED TO VENT. So I liked this page last year for the shits and gigs, as you do. I found it funny, and let slide the few sexist posts. Only recently- and after I got a tumblr- did I really start to notice the abundance of rape, sexist and racist jokes appearing on my news feed. And it pissed me off. I said nothing, however, because what could I do? Send in a message to the page and get labelled a whore and a slut by the Admins as I’ve seen so many people do? Then this motherfucking gem popped up. I usually don’t get involved in these sorts of things; if I do my comment gets lost more often than not and goes unnoticed. But I had to comment, I really had to. I thought my argument was valid and whole, and I was actually rather happy when he admin directly replied to my comment. I narrowed down my five favourite games ever and posted them. Of course, I got beaten and labeled down once again. When I asked for a rational clarification of his definitions of “casual” and “core” he did not reply. It was only when I directly insinuated the bias of his claim did I get a response. “A feminist I see. No arguments need to be made. Good luck with getting them eggs fertilized” Note the use of “feminist” as an insult. I have had my fair share of gender specific hate regarding gaming. I get told I am a fake and a bitch if I get a high score; I get told to “suck a dick because you are better at that, bitch” if I get a low score; I get told to “get back in the kitchen, slut” without any prompt at all, simply because I have a vagina. I am beyond sick of this. I hate the fact that if a male who hypothetically plays a few hours of CoD can be easily called a gamer by the wider community but I if were to say that I was a level 34 on Skyrim I would immediately be called a fake geek girl, a casual gamer and a liar. I hate the fact that, even though 45% of gaming consumers are female, developers and publishers still believe that there is not a large enough demographic for female protagonists. I hate the fact that most women in video games are no more than sexulised objects in skimpy clothing. I hate the fact that I cannot enjoy a game without being labeled and branded because of the fact that I posses a vagina and not a penis. ~sorry about the long post clogging up your dash. I needed to vent~ Good luck fertilizing any eggs with that shitty ass personality, you fucking twat. That’s it I am done, Listen here warm hugs I’m a guy and and a gamer and she has a valid point in this matter. Whenever girl’s try to come into a game of all guys they can get shamed just for their gender for being born, we have fought for racism, sexuality even religion and you are going to put someone down for being a girl? yes, I understand full well that is how alot of boys were raised to think that women are there to provide for the man but this isn’t the 20 century anymore,times have changed they are tired of being treated like that AND THEY DAMN WELL SHOULD BE! our people fight every day for equality and your putting them down in what you say “there place”? gender doesn’t matter , the person matter’s. Many guys I know call themselves hardcore gamers that only play Call of Duty, if you are going by your standards then your “Casual”. Bioshock infinite isn’t a casual game and neither is Skyrim each has around 20-30 hours of gameplay THAT isn’t casual ,that takes work and alot of strategy. And if you shame a woman for being one, then your no better than the names or thoughts your calling them. Gender Doesn’t matter gaming or otherwise. If I had a dime for every time I got verbally attacked on multiplayer games because of my GENDER I’d be one rich girl right now. Once I was playing CoD and as soon as I said something, giving away my gender (as I have a very feminine voice), everyone targeted me. The same thing happened in Halo. And I don’t mean they joked around, I mean they literally agreed to CHASE me and kill ONLY ME until I left, all while telling me I was a “fake” and “belong in the kitchen.” The only multiplayer game I haven’t had a problem with so far is TeamFortress 2 (which I’ve put 35 hours into Pyro alone because I love that game). Even so, there are always comments of “whoa, a girl!” and “how long has a chick been killing me?” -- source link
