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]

Personally I will be honest, my girlfriend is a gamer. I find it awesome because you can share that thing you love with someone else as well so it's like letting someone into that little virtual bubble. I am however respectful of female gamers in that respect because it's how you play not what gender you are. I think it goes back to gender stereotypes. However I am the kind of person to joke around and say that stuff. Only difference is I can understand to some it's offensive. This is why I don't go too far with it and hey if they have a crack at me or males and it's funny damn straight, credit where it's due and the like. I just think open mindedness from all parties needs to be considered. I know none of this stuff is true, most females know that they don't belong in a kitchen. However if they are offended then yes it is right to stop at that point. Key points, consideration for others, as well as understanding that there's a major difference from those who actually believe those views and those who are just literally playing around and expect it back :) it's playful insults I'm sure everyone has done it. But that's my honest view on the situation. So all is all girl gamers; go for it respect to you keep gaming. Male gamers (for those it's relevant to) know the limits it's a fine line between playfulness and having a laugh and just down right putting someone down :)
