Hey there, I'm a gamer from Texas.
I have a legit question I really want to know. After encountering so many rude remarks flirting, or even observing fellow female gamers yelled at/cat called...I really wanna know why a lot if you Lads don't like women? There would be times nothing would happen and yelling name calling and harassment would arise. Almost all of the times the lady gamer werent doing anything and the male would pick at her. Either being sexual or really aggressive. I noticed male gamers would get super mad when she would try to defend herself as if she had no right to defend herself. Then there are the few sweet guys that are super quiet guys. Only 1% percent out of 99 percent. Just tell me a simple sentence of what your attitude towards women is, in the gaming community. Is it Jealousy? Nervousness? No contact with women? Or you just don't like women gaming? Thanks.[spoiler]im watching he honest ok....[/spoiler]

I have never played a game with a gal so I can't say much. Guys aren't used to gals playing with them, which puts them in some type of mode where they treat gals unequally. It could be insecurity, dominance, meninism or plain idiocy, but there are definitely people out there who are nice. You can't always guarantee a friendly teammate in a raid or match.
-
It's because they think that since they are behind a screen, they can say whatever they want. It's not right and I'm sorry you have to go through that. I would report and block them.

I called a gamer girl a stupid bitch and now we're dating
-
10% of the male population should never be dated or married. They have no clue. 90% of male gamers come from that 10% or are under 16 and therfor still stupid when it comes to relating to women.
-
Hissssss. Maybe it's the fat -blam!- faced reptilian a who hate women.
-
It's basically the internet that gives them a mask to make them think they can do whatever they like. Or they could be really thirsty. Or under 15. Either way its pretty stupid.
-
We aren't used to that shit, and they're basement-dwelling pigs. And no, I'm a guy, not a 3rd wave feminist for all who wonder

Edited by Unkn0wn N3wb: 10/14/2015 8:34:01 PMin my 6 years of gaming on Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 (combined), i have come across about 10 gamer girls, and honestly, they were either attention seeking, ir had no idea what they were doing and ruined the game
-
Never seen it. Maybe it's time to find better company. And that's my gaming and checking in on my daughters gaming.
-
1% more like 30 or even 70%
-
wut. a gamer's a gamer to me
-
I play with them often and I dont?
-
I dont have any problems? But I also play with people I know and my husband so maybe Thats why
-

-
It only happens to attention seekers.
-
Don't be self-righteous, it happens to everyone. [spoiler]BTW your ignorance is cringe worthy[/spoiler]

Edited by TDUNN79: 10/14/2015 6:14:23 PMPeople like that are lower than dirt and you should leave/block/ignore them when you encounter them. There are plenty of nice individuals in the gaming community, but unfortunately there seems to be a higher amount of obnoxious and rude people with mic's than nice and enjoyable people with mic's. That is lone people anyway. Anyways, remember that you are great, and never let anyone tell you otherwise. And as for my opinion of women in gaming? I don't care who you are as long as you are being respectful to others. I see all individuals equally until they do something to make me see otherwise.

Edited by Arkrilok: 10/14/2015 5:56:58 PM*breathes heavily* I'm in Texas too. *continues to breathe heavily far past the point of uncomfortably awkward* [spoiler]Seriously though, I think you know the answer. It's a bunch of socially awkward ultra-introverted basement dwelling nerds who have hardly ever communicated with a female in person and think they're some kind of strange separate species that needs to be treated radically differently from their all-male group of Internet "friends." That only leaves the question of why, which is simpler that is sounds. You're really asking why a social outcast acts like a social outcast, which is far too redundant to bother answering.[/spoiler]

Really? I have been looking for female gamers.
-
Jealous of attention maybe?
-
I blame Nixtress

I've rarely ever seen female gamers harassed, and the few times I had it was a couple of punk kids (who harass literally everyone) making sexual compliments about the girl. Try being called a failed abortion and encouraged to walk into an oven simply for your race. Not fun.
