(geek) Boys & (geek) Girls

[thebitterguy]

You know, as a man, and a married man at that, I find myself constantly stymied by the woman. Thankfully, the internet exists to explain how men and women can get togethr. Such as this Blog post explaining what women want in comics. It seems rather rational and all. Of course, this post about the difference between female and male gamers reads like "goofy anecdotes I have told", but anyone who refers to women as less aggressive than men has different anecdotal experiences than I do!

Not to mention, it sounds a bit like something written by a high schooler, because he constantly refers to 'girls' and 'boys'. As well, he thinks men will be on time and women will be late. He has never met me or kinra.

Anyway, yeah, the bit about never yelling at girls even in character indicates he plays with some serious delicate flowers of womenhood (sorry, girlhood).

Very delicate indeed.

Any woman worth the name will start yelling long before I will.

Boy gamers = OMG KILL IT

Girl gamers = GIVE ME WHAT I WANT HERE R MY BOOBZ

There. I think those should stereotypes should offend just about everyone. ;)

Oh, and according to my typos, I am apparently speaking All Your Base Are Belong To Us-ese. ;)

I am the Master of Unlocking, after all.

GIVE ME WHAT I WANT HERE R MY BOOBZ

That's the best sentence I have read in months.

I believe there is a growing trend for adults of both genders to use 'girl' and 'boy' to refer to the other gender, actually.

[thebitterguy]

In a sincere way, or jokingly?

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

Sincere.

[sigh] Bring on the pandemic. We don't need humanity no more.

What's your problem, boy?

I really wish he'd just quit gaming (and quit talking about it). He's a fucking twat.

But tell us how you really feel.

I think much of the content of roleplayers has a really high noise to signal ratio.

I think that can be said of just about any online gathering.

I agree with much of the comics post, though I would add I like relationships between the characters, whether it be family, romantic, friendship or even mortal enemiship.

I try not to read "girl vs boy" discussions as anything which might relate to me or my life.

I don't understand women at all. I play with, hang out with and am entirely, 100% surrounded by, all the time, men. But then I get offended by all the crap which is obviously only aimed at them (see: female toons in WoW) so I can't just say "Char's a boy" and leave it at that.

I can't really disagree with anything he said, but then, I would never in a thouand years play ina "girl-only" game, so who knows.

I'm always the first one to start yelling IC. Shouting is my speciality.
