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]

Shut up and make me a sandwich [spoiler]just kidding[/spoiler] [spoiler]unless you want to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [/spoiler]

I don't
-
Happily I'm part of the 1% super sweet but in also super talkative but I don't give any type of gamer crap unless they deserve it lol
-
I treat them the same as everyone else. If I'm not interested in what they are saying, I ignore them. If the are annoying or have an annoying voice, I mute them.
-
Most of them are trying to act cool to show off the the rest of the people in the group (they dont realize they sound like morons), this combined with the idea that they are anonymous online makes them think they can get away with it as well.
-
I only know a few, all of whom I've met on these forums. If I make a remark it's a joke. And if it comes off as anything but, I'm sorry. I don't get why guys have a problem with girl gamers. Maybe they just want to keep the stereotype of only skinny ugly dudes are gamers.

Insert "Get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" Joke here V ___________________________________________

I don't, they are the same as us all

I've never met a girl gamer so I don't:

I think people that treat females poorly on the internet treat everyone poorly; they latch on to the first thing they observe and insult you over it. If you're a max rank, you're a loser who plays too much. If you're a low rank, you're a loser who should never play. If you are mid-rank/ 1 k/d ratio, you're a loser who will never be good enough to play with pros. Same goes with having a stutter, an accent, or just talking in general. You will be insulted just for playing with OR against them. I think the question shouldn't be why females are insulted, but rather why being a female is an insult...not that many of the insults heard while playing make sense anyway.

Man, woman, straight, gay, white, black, purple I don't care. I'm gonna be a dick to you for being one yourself and il win because I'm a giant nob. Play nice and I will too
-
I don't, couldn't give a damn if my opponent behind the controller is a dude, girl, transgender etc.
-
A gamer is a gamer. Such a vague topic.

Another from Texas.

I've only had one bad experience with a female online, it was me and my friends on Cod4 pregame, a friend joined and i said "mah -blam!- (me and him are both black)" Next thing i know a female threatened to cut my junk off. I don't actually hate female gamers, just ones who make empty threats.
-
Bitches are bitches, you just happen to be a female.
-
It's because men enjoy trash talking. It's just like in sports if you're a player you trash talk people, the same is in video games. If you have any noticeable difference you WILL be attacked. It's unjustifiable but very predicable and unavoidable. My advice? Get used to it and toughen up.
-
Nah, we just hate everything and feminists take it seriously
-
Everyone is treated like shit on the internet. If you're female, you deal with sexism. If you're male, you deal with alpha-male syndrome from other guys. If you're black, white, mexican, whatever - someone will make remarks regarding your race. You aren't special. You aren't being singled out. You're just as miserable as everyone else.

-
There's a girl in my clan and I shit talk her just as much as I shit talk my boys. She's just another part of the team.
-
Because they are annoying
-
I have literally met only [b]1 [/b]woman on Destiny. And I'm not a rude-butt. So I guess I shouldn't even be posting here. lol! xD
-
I think it's just the voice thing honestly not a problem for me but I know a lot of people will agree with that
-
I get an equal amount of shit online to my other half. If someone wants to be a dick, they will be a dick.
