Do they actually think they'll get free stuff just for "being a girl"? If so, I feel even worse off for the guys who are giving these other guys gifts.

Personally, I think they're just stuck in the closet and pretend to be a girl so it's easier to flirt with other guys..

EDIT: Judging by the consensus, we have a bunch of lonely guys who could care less whether the "girl" they're talking to is actually more of a man than themselves.

In my world, unicorn jokes are made by the children.

Considering that a large percentage of people who look for girls are probably underage, it's not so far fetched. Guys who spend time on dating sites want sex, but they're also probably lonely and looking for someone to spend time with. Finding someone to physically hook up with takes balls that a lot of internet dwellers probably aren't going to have. Companionship first, then maybe sex. It's not as unrealistic as you think.

I agree, it's not unrealistic, but I have to disagree with our statement of 'most guys online are looking for companionship first'. In my opinion, most guys online are horn dogs. I personally just looked for a relationship before sex, but that's mostl because of how I was raised.

Well, I suppose some like cybersex/texting? Though I think most just think it's exciting to get to know a girl online who might be into the same things as them and that thanks to the internet, they don't have to interact with someone more directly, like face to face.

So I suppose I agree that sex is not the very first thing they think of.

I've never personally seen begging online - specifically for being a girl. If they're just choosing to have a female avatar then it's just being open minded enough to project their thoughts into another character, be it male or female. Though if the men try to continue and act like a girl through comms or text in a non roleplay environment then it's likely their transgender.

Many women pretend to be guys online, especially when gaming. The kind of horrible treatment you get just for being a woman can be so violent, hateful and sexist that just not saying anything is easier than getting rape and murder threats just because you're better than a guy at a game. Hell, sometimes you don't even have to do anything. Some guys assume that they have the right to hit on your just because you're a woman, and if you don't immediate fall all over them you're a "bitch" or a "cunt".

It's weird because a lot of guys expect to be able to play a game without being harassed or followed or hit on all the time but then they think that women don't deserve to have that same experience. They just assume they have the right to do these things instead of thinking about whether they're doing something wrong.

Mm. Often times as a girl, you run into those idiots who just constantly repeat themselves saying, "TITSORGTFO."

I have never seen girls ask for gifts or get free gifts because they are female in games. Not even in MMORPG's. I have seen a bit of flirtation (mostly from the guys side, sometimes to the point they call the girl cute/sweet/etc.) and now and then I have seen guys swarm and start asking questions to the supposed only girl in the game (I bet other girls just kept their mouth shut, not wanting to get bothered). But no gifting.

Maybe I am hanging out in the wrong games, with the wrong crowd ;) The soundboard thing is kinda creepy though =/ Just the idea someone recorded the things you said and actually spend time and effort to make soundboard of it in his free time..

It is easily avoidable; use a gender neutral or male name and don't use voice chat. If you don't mention you're a girl, you're just one of the guys.

But I think it also depends on the game you play; in some games they don't care if you're a girl, even when voice chat is used, if you mention it in a conversation or have a name like "MissButterflies". In some games they jump onto the girl, insult her, question if she is really a girl, make the usual jokes about it, etc.

It's common sense that a title like that would get negative votes. What about if the user has a female name, a picture of a normal girl and no other indication that they're female? It's fairly basic how the mind of a boy works.

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Well the main problem with a title like that is that in most cases they read only the title and nothing more.
"New stream - I'm girl" is a title that make boys think that she used "I'm girl" to make more people watch her stream, but it can easily be there for the fact that she is aware she is not playing to well and she want to improve and in some cases you need help from other people to do it because you just don't see your mistakes (people tend not to see their own mistakes, maybe cause it's easier to blame others).

Usual male mind is simple and can easily be exploited if the other person knows how to play the right role.

Do you know what chauvinism means? It has a couple of given definitions according to the dictionary, but the most widely used is this: "the denigration, disparagement, and patronization of either sex based on the belief that one sex is inferior to the other and thus deserving of less than equal treatment or benefit"

She used it correctly. Also, have you seriously never heard the phrase "chauvinist pig" before?

Actually, chauvinism is an exaggerated, bellicose patriotism and a belligerent belief in national superiority and glory. It's named after Nicolas Chauvin who supposedly was guilty of such blunder during Napolenic wars.
