calling all female gamers  | |  Ok, so I admit it. That's right. I am a female gamer. Maybe not the best, but damn do I love playing and I think I do pretty damn well. I will even say that I must be somewhat decent because I am in a clan. The only female in the clan and I have my "big brothers" constantly protecting me.
I know, you are probably wondering what the could possibly be protecting me from. Well, let me tell you. Quite often I find that when I do speak up or talk during an online gaming session I am molested with off color comments, horrible names, and other rude and obnoxious statements from so called "men" who are also playing.
Usually I ignore it, but occassionally there are comments that are so outrageous and horrible that my big brothers will step in and voice their opinion. Yes, I think that everyone in my clan has at one point or another had a negative mark against against their profile. And usually they are received when they are sticking up for their fellow clan members. Now, please understand. I don't sit back and just let them do the fighting for me. It is just that sometimes it doesn't matter what I say it just eggs them on. I will not call people names, I will not insult them, nor will I stoop to their level. Yet they just can't help it. At least that is what I am guessing because all they do is keep up their name calling and ignorance. And if it gets bad enough I just shut up and say nothing further. Why encourage it? That is just as bad as what they are doing. Nor will I leave the game room because I will not let them win.
Now, I will say that today it has ruffled my feathers more than usual. I am not sure why. I had to leave for work in a couple of hours so I figured I would play a couple matches of COD: WAW. And now I wish I hadn't of. I didn't realise my mic. was on and while I was playing I actually said something to my other half. And of course from there it all went downhill. It wasn't just 1 or 2 obnoxious people. It was my ENTIRE TEAM. Please explain how that many ignorant people ended up in one room? And the most ironic part was that I kicked their butts. Which of course meant I was cheating or glitching. Come on, seriously? I only know of 2 glitches in that game. Neither of which really help you to accomplish anything. And we weren't even on those maps.
Now I really want for the male population of gamers to understand something. I am in no way calling all of you ignorant. In fact I have made many male gamer friends while playing the xbox 360. And there really are some awesome guys out there willing to play with females and actually enjoy it. But why does it seem like the majority of the guys that I run into are so ignorant and malicious with thier words?

especially when they says sexual comments about young ones
its like come on whats wrong with you
i think its because they dont know how to react to a girl
playing games
i have played games against girls in halo 3
and i was surprised they beat at first
it was funny for me though
hope it changes for ya

| CINQUEFOIL22 (22) | 4 weeks ago | It has gotten better for some games because I am primarily playing with the same people all the time. But, I have come to the conclusion, that I will always have to deal with the guy that just can't keep his mouth shut and rag on me for being a girl who shouldn't be playing. Just makes me play that much harder in an effort to beat his butt at the game. Hey, my motto is, "if you don't like it, leave the room"....Nobody is forcing them to play with me just as much as I am not forced to play with them.
Hmmm....maybe one of these days I will play an entire match without hearing one sexist comment....
That would be nice...After all, if guys can do it, why can't girls....Right? | |
|
|
| munchiez117 (165) | 4 weeks ago | yep i also think it depends on the game you play as well
like cod i think has more people who talk trash
if you have ever played gears of war there is a lot of trash talk
just a lot of "come on" when they die and stuff but there is sexual acts like moving back in forth on someone who is down
but that is just mainly for fun just like halo t bagging
it makes more fun to kill the trash talkers in games
what games do you have and play? | |
|
|
| CINQUEFOIL22 (22) | 4 weeks ago | Ahhhh, yes....T-bagging...Lord knows that has happened to me so many times I have lost count...But boy do I love when you can kill someone who just happens to be doing that to a team mate...There is so much satisfaction in that...
Right now, my poisons of choice are Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (1 & 2), COD: WAW, & COD: Modern Warfare 2. I really enjoy those particular games. I played Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. for awhile but I think my game was glitched because I completed the single player on easy and on the hardest and none of my achievements unlocked. Kinda frustrating to say the least. It was all right, but I didn't so much care for the online death matches. Oh well. I also picked up that Fuel game for the 360. I am terribly disappointed in that game. It totally sucked.
What do you enjoy playing as far as the 360 goes?

| | 2.  gamingworld (471) | 3 weeks ago |  When i hear female gamer..im thinking its hot. When i play xbox live i hear a girl, it just sounds weird. I am use to the dudes because all they do is cuss like a cracker box. Imagining a girl cuss is just ....nah.... My cousin is a girl and we play multi when she comes its all cool. Online its just weird unless they next to you. Thats how I feel....

| CINQUEFOIL22 (22) | 3 weeks ago | I can see your point about the whole cussing thing...But I rarely cuss when I am online playing. D-bag is usually my word of choice. But when it comes to those male dominated rooms I rarely say much. But truly, it is the sexual aggression of the men and their rudeness in that area that bothers me more than anything...Why can't I play too and still be treated with respect in that sense. I don't care if they talk smack because I sucked. I care when they talk smack because I am a chick. | |

| | 3.  SomeCowgirl (8064) | 3 weeks ago |  This reminds me of a discussion I saw a while back about a female gamer who was being harassed. It's sad when things like this happen. I'm a female gamer but my husband and I don't have xbox live yet so I haven't ran into any kind of trouble with stupid guys, though trust me I am sure my husband would have a few choice words for them, especially since most likely he'd be in the room with me, or if not he'd hear about it later.
Actually we have a 360 and wii, and i think wii has the same capabilities of talking to people whilst playing a game but I'm not sure... In any case, Some men are immature gamers... and that's just that.
