GURL GAMERS

[Anonymous No.6369259]

Does anyone else agree that girl gamers are the most annoying group at cons?

I hate them more than weeaboos.

It's one thing if you're a female who plays video games. But when you whore yourself out and brag for attention just because you're a girl who played a few Wii games, you should go drive off a cliff.

No Page. It doesn't work that way when there are guys that fall for them constantly.

Just call out on their bullshit. Although it won't do shit really and their fanboys will be on your ass.

[Anonymous No.6369307]

Psh. If you think they're worse than weeaboos, you've never been whacked in the ass with a yaoi paddle. Grrrrl Gamers are no different than any other attention-whores. Only thing that bothers me about them is that they reinforce stereotypes of women gamers. But, plenty of male gamers already think girls can't be "real" gamers anyway, so who gives a shit?

Let tryhards be tryhards. I've yet to meet a guy or even a girl who was impressed by that shit. And the only people that ever are tend to be attention whores themselves and trendy.
I see it a lot with games like LoZ and most mainstream PC games.

So really if you think it's an issue important to draw attention to then whatever, it's just that most people can spot a tryhard bitch a mile away. I always thought it was just an unspoken fact.

They're mostly annoying when they watch walkthroughs for games and claim they played them, or when they play the newest game in a series and then claim they played the classic games so they can fit in with the fandom and be awesome. Or when they DO play the games, but watch walkthroughs because the games are too hard for them.

Also fangirls. And shippers. And the ones that glomp you at cons because you're dressed as the character they have a crush on.

But girls who play video games and act chill about (the ones who don't do it for attention and actually play lots of games) it are usually pretty cool. It's a shame gamergurlz set a bad stereotype for them.

Video games are supposed to be challenging. I mean, there are some games I played that made me want to bang my head against a wall, but I got through them.

I think it's fine to look at a walkthrough if you've been stuck on something for a long time, but if you play the whole game from start to finish with a walkthrough, then you're taking the easy way out. What's the fun in that?

Seriously though, I met one girl at Otakon who couldn't even get past the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time, then gave up and called it a terrible game for being "too hard". I beat that game when I was 6 years old, she was almost 19.

>they're supposed to be a challenge
Fair. But they should also be something that a person enjoys. And if a person doesn't find much enjoyment from a game that is difficult for them then they shouldn't be forced to play it just to prove they're hardcore about gaming.

I know some people who hated Zelda. It's really not a big deal and I think you're making it into one.

She doesn't hate Zelda. She played all the easy games in the series and then wears a stupid Triforce shirt everywhere she goes, claiming to be a huge Zelda fans whilst insulting the older games.

She also claimed that Ocarina of Time "would have been a great game if it wasn't so hard."

I guess I should've mentioned that in the first post.

Fucking hate gamur gurls.
First off, there is a different between a girl gamer and a gurl gamur. Now that is out of the way...

There is this girl in my Japanese class who wouldn't Shut up. One time we so happen to talk about RE:
Gurl: "OMG! I love Playing Resident Evil, the zombies are so fetch!!!"
("Fetch" is not a real a adj. and even if it is, I wouldn't necessarily use it to describe a zombie.)
Anon: Oh cool, I like the franchises too, who is your favorite character?
Gurl: Oh, the one with the emo bang.( liekly Leon, but whatever.) He is SO HAWT!!!
Anon: Yeah...Yes he is...

Different gurl:
Roomate's friend.
Gurl: "Yeah, I play Halo with my guy friends all the time."
Guy: "Really?! That is pretty cool! Yatty yatta. Let's grab a game."
And so they did.
The girl barley knows how to use the controller. Her character awkwardly maneuvers around the map, like a drunk guy with a 0.30% BAC in a sobriety test.

There are more events like these,
but yeah, you get the picture.

See, I've never met a guy that thinks like that, but, people say it's a common mindset. Most guys are like, "lol cool what do you play." I've actually had the most trouble with gamer grrls, actually. I play mostly handhelds (RPGs, fighting games, adventure, stuff like that), and girls will jump on my dick about how I'm not a real gamer girl if I don't play CoD, Halo, and those other overrated games.

This reminds me of my roommate's gf so much, our bookshelf is filled with games that my boyfriend and I play together, but I don't play CoD and Halo, they're just not for me. She was hanging out with us one night and wanted to play a game, when I said I didn't play CoD she gave me the weirdest look like "But you play video games..." and talked extensively about how she plays it all the time and is so good.

She spent the entire game whining about not knowing where to go, what to do, and freaking out every time she died.

We talk about them as "gamur gurls" because that's just what we're into on /cgl/, but these types of people are fucking everywhere, and gamur gurls aren't really even the worst of them. Basically any really self-obsessed person that seems to be overcompensating for something is the same thing. There's a girl in my teaching credential class who can't make a fucking comment without making it about herself first. "I'm a white chick but I LOVE teaching inner-city kids" or "I'm a nerd, I LOVE watching Doctor Who." She's nice, not even necessarily socially awkward, but her interactions with people are so stilted because she's always thinking about herself first before she thinks about how to interact with another person.

My cousin plays it because that's the only game her friends and our family have in common. That and the Skate series is the only other series she owns since she rarely actually plays.
By CoD being so widely accepted it's more likely that two people have MW3 than Starcraft, counter strike etc.

So even though CoD is nowhere near as good it's still more widely used and the fact that most people with a console will get it is incentive for a person to purchase it themselves.

Actually, I have some questions for the ladies in this thread that play games or have had some sort of first-hand experience playing games with dudes online and in particular have dealt with some sort of bias or discrimination (positive or negative) from the guys you're playing with.

-Do you ever explicitly mention you're a girl when you play?

-Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)

-Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games

-Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?

Alright, looks like fun. I should say first hand that the only games I play online are LoL, S4 League, and a little bit of Dota2, so Xbox or Ps3 online, I have no history with.

>Do you ever explicitly mention a girl when you play?
Well, my name has 'girl' in it, so everyone probably just assumes. But other than that, no, I've never stated it.

>Do guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means?
No. I don't really get treated any differently.

Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games?
No, I usually don't speak anyway, unless I have to.

Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
Positive, I suppose. no one's ever pointed out that I'm a girl and been mean to me for it.

Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?
No, but now that there's an honor system in LoL I noticed I'll get more honor than my friends when I match is over, I think that probably has something to do with people figuring I'm a girl. Like I'll get friendly even though I say nothing all game.

I've seen the female players get some shit on the LoL forums, and even up earlier in this thread, but I've never had that experience, I've never played with a girl who pointed it out and pulled the shit they're usually accused of doing. Or maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know.

My friends don't even know she plays games until I bring it up or she casually mentions she plays x when it's brought up.

We both agree chicks who push their hobbies onto others or attention whore it are well...attention whores. Nobody gives a fuck if you play video games or not and it doesn't change if you have dangly bits between your legs or puffs on your chest.
(Or both.)

It's weird because we both met on WoW of all things too.

>Do you ever explicitly mention you're a girl when you play?
Nope.

>Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)
The only time it became an issue was when I was on co-op in L4D2. My team was cool until this one guy joined us.
At first we were playing okay with him, but we turned on our mics to strategize, and he found out I was a girl. Then, he got mad because I was Ellis and he ended up as Rochelle.
He felt that since I was a girl I should be Rochelle, despite the fact that I choose Ellis when we were still in the lobby, before he jumped into our round.
He threw a bitch fit, called a vote to kick me, and called me some choice names because we wouldn't quit, go to the lobby, and change characters.

>Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games
I don't speak during many games any more because I just don't need to. CoD is the only one where I kinda have to use my mic, and I only play it with my brothers or co-workers on weekends.

>Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
Really positive. In the 4 years I've had xbox live, there has only been that one issue I mentioned above. I don't use mics on any other systems.

>This one's just sort of for fun but might provide insight: Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?

this. Adding the whole "gamer girl" tag just makes them sound like they are some kind of unknown species that wants to be found...which is whoring for attention from guys who think this shit is legit and rare.

I think if they actually spent as much time taking camwhore shots of a DS sitting on their tits and actually played through some of the games they claim to play, some might actually find a legit hobby in this.

I really don't thin "gamur girl" will be a huge problem in the near future.
Video games are becoming more aware of their
female demographic and have started changing their character designs to suit a wider audience. That being said, I am sure there will still be games marketing on fan-services.
But back to the topic. Since more females are joining the community, "gamur girl" will soon lose its value and appeal.

>Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)
Guys tend to get more "bitchy", and automatically think I suck at whatever game I'm playing. But then again, I don't usually play with others, unless it's WoW.

>Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games
Not really.

>Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
Neutral I'd say.. I still remember in 10th grade, the boy next to me asked me if I played any vidya's. I answered yes, and instantly a bunch of guys all jumped around me asking what games I play, consoles, ect.
I felt severely uncomfortable.

>This one's just sort of for fun but might provide insight: Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?
I like Halo a lot.. well watching it actually. I completely suck at the game, but I used to enjoy watching my friends play.

The only GURL GAMERZZZZZ DONT HIT ON ME SILLY BOIZ I've ever met was a girl named Stacey who went to my college.

After me, Stacey was the only fuckable girl in Mordor - Mordor being the corner that contained all the vending machines where all the nerds hung out during lunch time. Stacey was fond of rolling her way into college every day, and by rolling I mean she had those little shoes with the retractable wheels inside, so she would rollerblade all over the place and just be a general nuisance with her typical "girl-nerd" bullshit attitude.
It was sometime in the year that I suddenly noticed she was wearing loads of Resident Evil memorabilia (necklaces, t-shirt, patches, wristbands, badges etc.) so I decided to approach her about it and get to know her a little bit.

Oh hey Stacey! I see your a Resident Evil fan
>Oh yeah, I LOOOOVE Resident Evil! It is the best series ever!
Oh neat, which games have you played?
>I've not played any of them! Gawd you don't have to play the fucking games to be a fan of the series!

Someone, please tell me what game she was referring to when she said that you are promised sex from that female character when you beat the game. I don't know of this.

More on-topic though, I know a girl who hasn't played a lot of games she claims to love, and just watches the LPs for them. She is really obsessed with this guy called pewdy pie (sp?), and every single time I bring up a game around her, she starts ranting about how great of a LP he did for it and all her favourite quotes... I don't mind when people watch and enjoy LPs, but when you've never even played these games, don't say you're a gamer, and don't claim to know how awesome and great they are.

No, not at all. She's a great person, so that wouldn't be an issue. If anything, I can't say I'm any god tier either.

It's a random curiosity, because I tend to wonder if she hasn't, if it is an awkward experience if someone attempts to talk to her about the champion she's cosplaying as and may not know much.

This likely applies to any kind of of posers though. How awkward is it to get caught not knowing shit of what you claim to be really into?

It's not going to change any time soon, or ever.

Video games aren't for just one demographic anymore but all.

Even Obama and Romney and of course senior citizens with their Wii's and shit play video games and it'll be much much much more increasingly common as the years go on.

Video games aren't just for nerds or kids or whatever anymore. It's a mainstream pastime and just like there are more women than men in the world, women will eventually overtake men in video games in all other aspects of life like employment and even government like currently at the trend. According to surveys, polls, and neuro studies; video games and shit like facebook are better than sex to women.

Soon men will have no choice but to check their privilege. Video games are a female pursuit soon enough, men need to get back to chess and chopping logs or something.

-Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)
I think that for the most part I'm treated the same as any other player. Some guys probably are nicer to me. Some guys start calling me pet names like "sweetie". Other women usually trust me more when they find out I'm female.

-Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games.
When I play with strangers, gender usually doesn't come up. It's not an issue. No one's given me a hard time about my gender when I'm in vent with strangers. I'm more knowledgeable than the average player and am not afraid to speak up. I often take charge of groups of strangers. I'm usually playing with other skilled female players and feel strongly supported by women I play with.

-Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
Positive.

-This one's just sort of for fun but might provide insight: Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?

Actually, I find nothing wrong with Call of Duty or WoW (I have played and liked both), but when it's the only things you play, it seems awfully close-minded to the world of gaming. Not to mention I'm sure there's many that only claim they play them because they're the most popular games they know of.

>-Do you ever explicitly mention you're a girl when you play?
No, I lie about my gender online
>-Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)
The few times I've told/been found out, yes. It's something I notice and I'm not comfortable with it at all.
>-Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming?
I only play MMO's and the discomfort has made me set up pretty much a double life. I'm much happier when men don't 'walk on eggshells' around me. I get chivalry has taught them to do so, but I don't like being treated that way.
>-Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
negative, I started doing this because I've been stalked, attempted pressure into ERP or sexting, harassed and white-knighted too many times. Too many guys feel entitled to my attention when I usually just want to be left alone. Too many don't take 'No' for an answer. I get not all men are like this but my experience has been very negative.
>-Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?
My boyfriend pretends to be a girl online for this reason, He's fucked over people on Steam to buy him games, He's gotten expensive mounts, gear, other items. I notice I don't get those "Random acts of kindness:)))" anymore as a boy, but I'm glad, they often come with baggage. I think it's deplorable to use femininity to manipulate people myself, but I don't really have any qualms with my boyfriend doing it. His targets are the dumbasses and I hope they end up seeing that it's best to see eachother online as just -Another player-. Basically just play the damn game.

women are bred to be social creatures, since in nature they could not fend for themselves.

today we worship women and a woman can do no wrong

a woman molests children in school, Lucky kids!!!

a woman kills her husband WHOOO HOO SHE's SINGLE!!! yeah lets fuck her

feminism has fucked the united states up greatly.

so much so that this whole liberal progressivism shit has shamed men into being men, and poessiing firearms

not to worry, china does not have such handicaps, neither to the Islamic nations who rule women through a theocratic doctrine. while the leaders know their religion is nothing more than a scapegoat for rule.

I play mostly single player games, so I don't have much issue getting flak for being female. Sometimes I'm a bit nervous someone will start shit when I'm streaming w/ commentary, but I can just ban them if they do. Hasn't happened yet though. The only multiplayer I play with strangers is Blacklight Retribution, and the community seems fine so far. I'm pretty much over MMOs.

Don't really get to play any games with my female friends, unfortunately. They want to play Mario Kart/other Wii party games, while I'd rather play things like Blood, Quake, Fear, Serious Sam, etc. At least I've got my bros, I guess.

No ~xXGAM3R_GUUURRLLXx~ is one of those girls who pretty much claims to love nerdy things just to seem like a special snowflake and get worshipped for playing cawadoody.

You can still be a girl who enjoys video games without being a retarded cunt about it.

For example, I frequent a fighting game stream, most of the people there didn't even know I was a girl because honestly, it has nothing to do with the game or how I play it. Any girl who feels the need to announce themselves as a girl while playing games is being an attention seeking cunt.

If you see any gamer profile with these key phrases, you've got yourself a ~GAM3R GURRRL~

"Yes, I am a girl and YES I do like video games, get over it boys"

"Don't hit on me silly boys. I'm a girl and girl gamers are rare"

People that have any sort of identifier of "girl" in their gaming handle is USUALLY an attention seeker. Because any girl who actually plays games, knows that having "gurl" in your handle is just ASKING FOR IT.

Maybe it's just me, but I rarely use my headset because of gamer gurrrllz. Because there's always that one person who will assume any girl playing games is just looking for attention or whatever. So I usually make a conscious point to avoid revealing my gender. . .

I hate games. I only like anime. When I say I don't play games people even stop talking to me, like I'm "not nerd enough" to cosplay.

She's thin, "nerd", red head and depending on the picture she looks above average, that is all they need. Actually, even if she was a 4/10, that is already above the stereotype of the "nerd girl", so they would be happy either way.

It's clearly because only the fuglys USED to play videogames. They just passed it down to their more attractive children such as ourselves.

Speaking of which, I can't really see GURL GAYMERZ being much of a problem in the future at least. I mean even young females play them these days and will grow up with this being the norm. Most of them don't have a concept of gaming stereotypes. With enough patience and endurance we can make it through this!

Gamer who happens to be a vagina here:

I hate "gurrrrl gamers". They whore themselves out for compliments in the hopes of dominating and ruling over the helpless little nerds that fall for her shit. She becomes the pet of the server she's on.

"No don't shoot me, uguuu~!"
"Sorry iamsokyuut! Forgive me?"
"Well, I guess so."

I normally end up leaving game servers when one of those log in to play. Makes me want to snap my keyboard in half.

This. Gurl gamers are almost always a girl who wants the foreveralones to acknowledge her and her vagina and let her know that they would do anything to stick their dick in her because "she's just so damn cute!!"
that's all she's after.
women love to know that men want to dick them. it's totally a self-esteem boost

[Anonymous No.6373233]

I find it strange that people still think female gamers are rare and special. Yes, growing up I did feel left out of the boy's club playing console games mostly by myself and trying to get my female friends into them. And when I first started playing MMOs it did invite sexual commentary when I disclosed my gender. But now I play with other women and men who respect women. And I meet new women online frequently.

Btw I'm the same poster as:

this so much this. Me and a few girls I know in my group play games, we don't differ from the boys in requiring special treatment. It's a pretty friend-to-friend atmosphere without needing the, "I'm a gurl" standard.

We had one particular girl at some point who thought she was the absolute shit with a big rack and whenever we'd be discussing a game she'd say, "Well I have boobs therefore" to silence the boys. They'd actually get silent, stare around to wait for a serious reponse, then would ignore her.

But she chased after the biggest foreveralones and you could tell she was out to want attention in quantity and not quality.

Being buff =/= being hypersexualized and objectified to sell a game to horny teenagers.

[Anonymous No.6373529]

>>6372570
The only real case for male objectification in the vidya is when the MGS team surveyed a group of teenage girls and then made up Raiden in all his bishie haired, semen-blooded glory to pander to their needs. Kratos being a buff god-slaying badass plays to what men want just as much as a scantily-clad night elf.

>if it was a male character written exactly the same way, their costume would cover up way more skin

THIS. Female game characters, whether they're smart or ditzy, evil or good, strong or weak, they're almost universally decked out in insanely revealing clothing and have massive tits.

Sexy female characters are perfectly fine. It's when they're the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY that it gets annoying. Especially when the male characters get to be strong, capable, etc. and still have their clothes on.

[Anonymous No.6373542]

>>6373529
Yeah, Raiden is basically the one and only fanservice character for chicks. Not to say that there aren't some hot guys in games, but they're still made to appeal to the primary market, men and boys. Raiden is not only a bishie who spends part of the game running around naked but is also sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. NOT made for guys. At all.

-Do you ever explicitly mention you're a girl when you play?
>Almost never.
-Do you find that guys treat you differently if you DO mention you're a girl? Or do they start to treat you differently once they find out you're a girl by other means (like voice recognition or w/e)
I played a free-to-play MMO for awhile and got to a pretty high level. I was involved in my guild and played as a male character. Everyone assumed I was a guy. Eventually I joined a facebook group with my guild mates and started adding them. This one guy, a good twenty years older than me, began messaging me in game talking about blow jobs and how I was his "biggest crush." It made me very uncomfortable.
-Has your interactions with playing games with anonymous dudes changed the way you interact with people while gaming? For example, not mentioning your gender or even not speaking at all during games
Absolutely. I refuse to mention my gender in game and I will ignore most comments asking about my gender or discussing it. I will play as male characters some times to avoid this.
-Have your experiences been generally positive, generally negative, or neutral?
negative. I cannot stand men (especially older ones) that treat me differently because I'm a girl. I look very young and they treat me as a weaker character or they'll make jokes in direct reference to me being a girl.
-This one's just sort of for fun but might provide insight: Have you ever deliberately acted a certain way to gain favor or some sort of advantage while playing?
Never. Friends would give me items only when I would help them out in game.

I like playing video games, but since I wasn't able to start playing console games until I left home (combination of going to a super competitive highschool and having a mother who fully bought into the videogame violence scare) I'm a bit slower on the controls than someone who's been gaming every day since they were 6. Whenever I play anything with guys, even though I warn them I suck, they always seem to be like "oh, you don't really like video games, otherwise you'd be beating me at this." No, you dick, I just don't have over a decade's worth of combos stored in my head. It's annoying being second guessed on something you enjoy doing casually in your free time just because you can't wipe the floor with everyone you play against, like women have to "prove" themselves before they can like anything stereotypically masculine.
