[QUOTE=Skelmech;41181348]just explain this to me then
why is it when you insult someone who's a female and also a gamer, the instant default is to insult them using their own gender and call them "gurl gamerz"
but when you insult a guy who also happens to be a gamer, you use a myriad of insults. such as

If some dude would call me 'guy gamer' over mic in game I would be more flattered than insulted.
No homo.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;41181445]Let's twist this around a bit. Would you prefer girl gamers to be referred to as "silly cunts", "attention-whoring bitches" or "cancer of gaming"?
[sp]I don't think you want that[/sp][/QUOTE]
last reply but only because its directed at me
no, i don't. i also don't want men to be called any kind of gendered insult for no reason.

In a situation when the girl wasn't attention whoring and was called a "gurl gamer" it can be because of 3 things. 1 the person insulting the girl doesn't know what "gurl gamer" actually means but he heard it somewhere and wants to be cool. Or 2 because actual female gamers really fucking hate to be called or associated with "gurl gamerz". And 3 "gurl gamerz" are assumed to be bad at the game, so it might be just people jumping to conclusions.

The insult you use against someone is (or at least should) be related to what he's doing. If someone is just waiting in one spot behind a corner with a shotgun, he's a camper. If someone is telling everyone what to do and crying really hard that his team sucks, he's a tryhard. If someone is attention whoring because she's a girl, she's a "gurl gamer".
[QUOTE=Skelmech;41181348]i guess i can understand if they're going OOOH LOOK AT ME IM A GIRL OOOH but i've literally never seen that happens. [/QUOTE]
I've seen at least 3 girls do that in CS, although over a long period of time. "gurl gamerz" are actually pretty rare, but they are out there.
[QUOTE=Skelmech;41181348]what more often than not happens is "hey guys" "OMG ARE U A GIRL I BET U SUCK AT THIS GAME GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN LMAO"[/QUOTE]
That's called a sexist idiot. And seeing how many players of most popular games are teen boys, it's not really surprising that they are total fuckwits when it comes to interaction with women. They often teamfight with white knight idiots.
[QUOTE=Skelmech;41181391]too many angry people whenever it comes to this shit[/QUOTE]
there's no excuse for how FP has such a virulent reaction whenever the female gender and video games are brought up. God there are so many sad socially awkwards morons here Garry needs to do more idiot culls
I'm sorry that us girls have fun and beat your ass in every game we play.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;41168885]Madden... then you're pretty much a casual gamer. [/QUOTE]
It's third down and you only have ten seconds to play. You're down be three at the twenty yard line. You feel the pressure of the fans watching you. You have to make a perfect throw to an open receiver. The fate of the season, all the hard work and money spent on you, and all those years of college football, rests on your shoulders. Or, more specifically, your throwing arm and chemistry.
You feel the pressure of the pocket closing in. You have five seconds left. You have to throw. You do so.
Your receiver catches it in the end zone. You won the game. Fans are cheering.
If you call that casual, you don't know video games.

Well you have VAC bans on record so you haven't beated us fair and square.

You don't know anything about being discriminated again. You are a white cismale, so don't even start.

I hope that was ironic.
It's not "gaymur girls" it's just regular attentionwhoring. Some of them use games, since making a lets play is relatively easy. It's the same shit, they show some skin for easy youtube hits. Sad thing is it works.
Though the queen of youtube whoring is still hannah minx

I bet you do hope it's ironic. Sucks when the tables are turned?
I should make a thread called "To These 'Cismale' Gamers", how would you like that?

Please don't turn another thread into full shit again, take it to tumblr.
Why does this always have to be female centric? Guys do the exact same thing, play basically just COD and call themselves gamers.
Why do girls gave to get called out constantly for not being hard core gamers but saying they like games.

The only thing you'd achieve is make real feminists look bad, just like those "gurl gamerz" make many idiots around the internet believe every female player is an attention whore.
[QUOTE=Rhenae;41182064]Why do girls gave to get called out constantly for not being hard core gamers but saying they like games.[/QUOTE]
Because, as soon as we begin to get an inkling of civil rights, we get shoved down into what people think is our rightful position in society. It's a sad world we live in.
[QUOTE=_Axel;41182082]make real feminists sound bad[/QUOTE]
Not only am I not a real gamer, but I'm not a real feminist?
Next you'll be saying I'm not a real human.

It really isn't just girls, tons of youtube celebs do it. It's easy, just record yourself playing fucking Happy wheels and watch the dosh roll in.

Do you know who WhatTheBuck is? Basically, some random guy making celeb gossip videos.
Even he has Happy wheels videos.
This whole thing has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with being a sleazy human being by jumping on a bandwagon for mad dollars, while dragging down an entire medium.
Like just because you can cook pasta you don't become a cook. Just because you read Animal Farm you don't become an avid reader. Same with games.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;41181242]in all the years I've played video games I don't think I have ever seen this happen. Maybe I have like once, not sure. Just Fedora Autists overreacting as usual.[/QUOTE]
just go to twitch.tv
they usually are there.

Because what the podcaster wanted to talk about was this specific issue. I myself didn't encounter any of those gurl gamerz ever, the mute button was created for this kind of problem anyway, and I don't think it deserves any more attention than other annoying dipshits on the internet. Still doesn't justify spouting "cis male" bullshit just because somebody cracked a joke about your VAC bans.

What defines a gamer then? You become an artist by enjoying making art, you become a bookworm by enjoying books. You become a gamer by enjoying games.
Also lovely to say "its the same for guys" except there isn't a term for them "guy gamers" that insinuates all of a gender is wrong if they say they like games.
[QUOTE=_Axel;41182184]Still doesn't justify spouting "cis male" bullshit just because somebody cracked a joke about your VAC bans.[/QUOTE]
Yes it does. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean it's okay for people to make fun of me. So, when I expose people for being a bigot, other people like you get mad. You make me sick.

Please get out and take your made up gender stuff with you.
"Thirsty ass niggas" is a phrase that will enter my vernacular.

There is, they're called assholes who try to make money off everything withouth putting too much effort in. There are just as many examples of guys who play this whole gamer angle just to get attention, and through that, youtube admoney.

He didn't make fun of you because of your gender. Last I heard VAC didn't ban people for being female.

Yeah, he saw I was a girl and tried to discredit me.
