Women like stupid men? well, guess I'm ****ed

I'm sorry, did we not just have pages of Stardusk et al. whining about commercials depicting men as buffoons in an appeal to sell things to women, who control the pocketbook, society and the world from their ivory tower designed by Georgia O'Keeffe? Was that not where this topic has been wallowing for the last while? And then we turn around and try to say Megan Foxx's character in Transformers is empowering to women and not vacuous T&A for men?

To be honest, I never really found Megan Foxx to be that attractive and actually just watched the movies for the explosions.

Alright guys, which option should I choose when reporting this thread??
I´m leaning towards hate speech or spam but I´m not sure..

You've opened your mouth too many times to reference them all. Your attempts to justify your hate for women aren't getting you anywhere.


So this thread is basically a carbon copy of JohnTheOther's poster tear down extravaganza.

Accusations of hate speech?
Check.
Accusations of hating women?
Check.
Aggressive demeanor in the face of civil discourse?
CHEEEEEEEECK.

Anyone wanna say they're traumatized?

In all honesty it was a tl;dr, so... if you say so.

Also, I've personally never found Megan Fox attractive.

Every "hey luk at me i'm a girl playing a video gaem guise!" thread that has ever been posted on a gaming forum has been incredibly stupid, I don't see how this one would be any different.

I guess I should go and post a thread letting everyone know I am an athiest, regardless of the fact that it is not really relevant to how efficiently I kill bots in this game's tacked on multiplayer


Pretty much this.

The only people who care if someone is a girl gamer are the perverts and the white knights. I care about how good you are at killing bad guys.... that's it.

I came here out of curiosity and boredom, and I was reading everything on the front page. I didn't say anything until people started saying the only thing a woman wants is a provider and that they all hate men.

Now this thread is just sad with people thinking they can determine what very person on earth thinks at every Monet of the day because they looked at some fancy numbers.


Yeah, also people who apparently think the whole world revolves around getting their special attention, because they are such unique snowlakes. But accepting that girls like to meet other female MP players, have fun time, and have silly girl chats while playing... IMPOSSIBRU!

>Implying this thread wasn't sad from the start

I'd actually say that this thread is now an improvement over what it was, because at least now I can laugh at it. It's kind of like a reaffirmation of why I have no faith left in humanity, and after reading all of the posts here I feel so much better about my own life.

Thank you BSN

That's what were here for: Making people feel better about their life.

I'm also told that we occasionally talk about Mass Effect 3.

So why do these threads always blow up then?  It's not the perverts or the white knights who blow them out of the water.


Because it's soooooo easy to troll, and it's so tempting for people to call others attention wh*r*s. This is especially true for girl gamers as alot of them carry around Dick Harrems composed of multiple White Knights, who defend their every word/action just because they're female... even if they're blatantly wrong.

Whether or not they are right can be debated.

People constantly think they know how people think, but there is literally no way to actuall know unless you're that person. I would suggest you make a group for female players to join and talk in, but I don't think there's a good enough screening process to stop people coming in he accusing you of being attention ****s or man haters.

I'm closer to a white knight...but I've come to the conclusion that the best way to help is to explain that this isn't that big a deal. To paraphrase an old proverb: Someone who has no control overthemselves is like a castle already conquered. Women who let themselves get caught up in identity group politics are no longer serving themselves... women should serve themselves, not their identity group. It's easy to say being from the identity group that doesn't have franchise status because supposedly I own the world from being in my identity group.

But all the same, being a part of an identity group is to not be an individual, it is to have the identity group's interests supplant the individual interests.... and the biggest problem of that is that identity groups aren't a democracy or a collective, they're closer to an oligarchy or aristocracy, so that only a few individuals benefit from a great number of individuals giving up their individual interests.

Not gonna lie.... It's alot of fun... it's even more fun because you're somewhat bashful about it.

If you took the "Yes Fools! Bask in my presence!" approach... it wouldn't be as fun.

Well we've already established in this thread that individuality doesn't matter, only universal biological imperatives as established by statistics.;)

Also something you missed in the tl;dr.

Anyway that was tongue-in-cheek, to boil off the BS I just think it's retarded that somebody can't ask for a femshep banner or if there are female gamers/posters here without a freaking jihad.

Best of the Best probably would've been better with a full ME3 single player squad on it. When I play the single player campaign, I'm rooting for the team, not just Sheppard, Sheppard just happens to be the cog that I have direct control over.

And as far as the "it's just so easy to troll" angle, I'm still curious if Stardusk is just really, really, really, really really really bored, but anyway, if you're that bored I suggest reading Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut. Great book.

Why should female gamers, or female anything/anybody get special treatment? Is this the F'n dark ages? Last time I checked.... my mother made over a quarter of a million dollars a year alone, does she still deserve special treatment b/c she's female? I don't think so, neither does she.

That's where the animosity comes from... the expectation of being treated as 'special' or 'rare' because a female plays video games.

Since I've been alive... I've been told that women can do anything a man can. So if we are truely equals... why does a female gamer get special treatment? It's insulting quite frankly.

Having a vagina does not make someone special...

Do you think a "How many Black Guys are there playing ME3 MP" thread is appropriate? We are all human beings... no one gets special treatment except people with SPECIAL NEEDS!

Unfortunately he's not. Poor guy legitimately needs help... like professional help.

no one was asking for special treatment. Some people liked the female Shepard character more than the male, so they wanted there to be one of each Shepard, not to change it. And the OP just wanted to see if there were other female forumers. She wasn't trying to get any special treatment.
