  hahaha. so true. i’ve played with you enough to know this stuff. but, if you are in the kitchen, and did in fact beat me with one hand while making a sandwich, is that sandwich for me?! haha. jk! jk!

• 2. TTL Demag0gue  |  July 6, 2007 at 3:42 am

  That’s a funny bit of snark there. It’d be funny how stupid some of these guys are if it wasn’t so sad. Of course, these are also the same guys that reinforce the common stereotype of your typical gamer. Shame…

  OH, and bs angel is definitely the hawts.

• 3. yankeyhotel  |  July 6, 2007 at 7:56 am

  Yeah, no doubt there are some (ok a lot) of us losers online, but give us a break. We would probably be just as lame in person as over live. Not to mention the fact that we are still in shock that girls actually talk to us, anyways.

  Great write up, maybe I’ll be witty enough to get onto the next article like this one.

• 4. Excardon  |  July 6, 2007 at 8:52 am

  Never heard the Barbie Horse Adventures one yet while playing with my wife, lol.

  I think it’s all the pent up rage and dissapointment these kids have from getting rejected for their annual school dance that they use to unfortunately take it out on people that can’t execute any real means of reprecussion against them.

  Seriously… I wasn’t a big assbag like some of these kids back in the day. I may have done dumb stuff, but not like this.

  “I think it’s all the pent up rage and dissapointment these kids have from getting rejected for their annual school dance that they use to unfortunately take it out on people that can’t execute any real means of repercussion against them.”

  LOL! Either that, or they’ve never talked to a female (other than their cat) before… someone ought to teach them a lesson, or at least require everyone to watch a sexual harassment video before they can get on X-Box Live!

  I feel embarrassed to be a guy sometimes when I hear things like this. There are idiots that don’t know how to act toward women period and Xbox Live is no exception.

• 7. bsangel  |  July 6, 2007 at 11:28 am

  Anything on this list doesn’t even bother a female anymore. At least not me. You get used to hearing it and you know it is the other person’s ignorance talking which is not a reflection on yourself at all.

  Now things that are too offensive to make the list, that is where the problem lies. Randoms rarely bother me anymore, but every once in a blue moon someone will say something so repulsive and disgusting that it will take me a bit to shake it off.

  Otherwise, just the same ol’ stuff, over and over!

• 8. Ryan  |  July 6, 2007 at 11:31 am

  Man I was in a room with 2 girls last night. One was a friend of mine in real life (who does play on her husbands account) and the other was another married girl. I think I heard all of these last night in rapid-fire. To bad the dudes trigger fingers didn’t work that well. The girls in the room spanked them and not in the good Happy time way.

  PS. I hear in the comments you were hot will you add me as a friend /Wink

  My boss at Microsoft is a 25 year old woman with the moxey to supervise me effectively for the company’s best interest (I’m 56 and male). If the Xbox Live jerk bunch doesn’t understand even the basic dynamics of the company that built their little toy, they deserve more than the polite retorts you gave them. They need their accounts blacklisted. Bravo to you!

• 14. themoviereport  |  July 8, 2007 at 7:18 am

  Gr8 list.

  I know that its a annoying when guys either diss female gamers or try to hook up with them. In my opinion, it shouldn’t be that way - I say bring on female gamers! More the merrier! It makes no sense why females get this kind of treatment. After all, there’s women working in the games industry - how about that woman behind the forthcoming Assassins Creed? Attractive, obviously talented, and giving the female a face in the industry! here here!

  Haha, I made an ID for my girlfriend on the PS3 and I did it early enough so that it’s just Brittany. Even though she’s never been online she’s got a few messages from guys like, “Hey gurL” and “howz it goin”.

• 17. Bexstar33  |  July 9, 2007 at 4:52 am

  haha, I totally know what you mean, I have had most of those comments already and only had my xbox a month… im totally addicted to it, tho not for the “hot” guys, but for the games!

  another common one (espeicially from the Americans is) “you have such a sexy british accent chick,you must be sooooo hot with a voice like that”…… !!!

  Pass me the sick bucket and let me get back to killing these b****rds on Gears of war!

  My response is… “I’m a female gamer…… DEAL WITH IT HUNNY!!!! We do exist!”

• 18. HaloMarine117  |  July 9, 2007 at 10:37 am

  I met my girlfriend over Xbox live and we are going six months strong. She gets angry whenever people pull the “You must be fat” one. But I’ll show her this.. I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of it. =]

• 19. Deadguy71  |  July 9, 2007 at 10:51 am

  My girlfriend gets comments like these all the time too. Unfortunately when she trys “light flippant” answers like the ones you’ve listed here, they move into porn mode.

  So now, she’s just like “This is why you’ll never get laid by a girl under 300lbs.. When you look like this, you don’t NEED to do charity work.”

  Then folks laugh an do the whole “buuurn” thing.

  If anyone keeps going, she pulls out the “Needle-d*cked-BugF*cker” line.

  All the other guys are “on your side” immediately because obviously they won’t get laid if they’re against the only woman in the room. Then the friend requests start piling up from all the hopeful contestants for your fancy.

  If someone’s genuinely funny, she’ll add them after the match, and most are still cool with her after learning that her boyfriend’s in the party too, and sitting right next to her. The rest, including all the clan invites (she’s not exactly clan material, she’s just having fun out there) just get ignored.

  It sucks to realize that guys don’t have to pretend to not be guys, or get flirted with constantly. The flirting thing IS nice for the ego, despite how empty it really is, but there’s simply nowhere to run or get away from it, unless you ditch the headphones entirely. Guys are not likely to ever have to experience that, unless they become famous or something.

  Within a week, she averages about 100 invites from folks she doesn’t recognize. it get’s pretty old pretty fast.

• 20. Teh Interweb  |  July 9, 2007 at 10:56 am

  I find that most of the racist/sexist/[insert appropriate -ist word] idiots on Live lack originality and creativity. Of course, when they’re stupid enough to spout prejudiced crap which they actually seem to believe is true, this is not surprising.

  As someone outside the US who is on the receiving end of a lot of racist comments, I’ve found one of the most effective ways of getting under these people’s skins is to use their own comments against them (such as telling them to speak English; a comment that often comes from their mouths). Drives them mad with rage!

• 21. AshofPompei  |  July 9, 2007 at 10:59 am

  guy: shouldn’t you be playing Barbie Horse Adventure?

  you:…this isn’t Barbie Horse Adventure?

• 22. Craig Betts  |  July 9, 2007 at 11:29 am

  Heh, yeah, my wife hears those as well. Her latest ploy is to just keep quiet on the headset until she whoops them, then unmute. Granted, she sticks mainly with Texas Hold ‘Em, but many guys still don’t like being beat by a woman.

  She lowers there spirits even more when she advertises her age (46). Yeah dude, your mother just beat you!

• 23. quikstryke117  |  July 9, 2007 at 11:46 am

  there is nothing hotter than a girl who plays halo.

• 24. KitKatGrrl  |  July 9, 2007 at 12:46 pm

  Too true! I’ve heard far worse than that. Every single night I hear comments like this. I am constantly amazed that they’re able to deduce that I’m fat! Dude, I thought I had my webcam off.

  One time I was playing with a guy who asked if I was either Asian or Fat because the majority of girl gamers he played with were Asian or Fat. I was stumped because I didn’t know if there was a “D, all of the above” version

  My favorite is when they spend the entire game harassing you, calling you the worst possible names out there, t-bagging you and heckling you, then send you a Friend Request. Dude, that’s so not the way to meet girls……

• 25. KitKatGrrl  |  July 9, 2007 at 12:50 pm

  Crap, hit the wrong button.

  1. Are you a girl?
  No, i’m a kitkat. Or “I”m a grill”

  2. Are you playing on your brother’s/boyfriend’s account?*
  I’ve actually never heard this comment, but that’s probably because my name has “Grrl” in it.

  3. You must be a fat and ugly since you play video games.*
  Ohmigosh, you must have ESP, how did you know?

  4. Shouldn’t you be playing Barbie Horse Adventures?*
  That games doesn’t have a shotgun in it. Not interested.

  5. Hey sweetheart/beautiful/baby doll. How you doing?*
  Good.

  6. Dude. Dude! Are you a girl? Will you be my friend? Dude, accept my friend request! Let’s hook up!*
  Um..no because I’m probably old enough to be your mother. Or “Hey, you sound just like my son’s friend”

  7. How old are you? Where do you live? Do you have a MySpace page?*
  I’m 70 years old, I don’t shave my legs but I’m single. Interested?

  8. Girls belong in the kitchen. Go make me a sandwich.*
  Make your own sandwich, I promise I won’t kill you while you’re in the kitchen.

  9. Are you a boy? When are your balls gonna drop?*
  When yours do.

  10. You sound hot! I bet you’re hot. Are you hot?*
  Yes, i’m extremely hot right now. I think i’m actually menopausal.

  still slightly mad over that one but it mak3s m3 lawl

• 29. Queen 0f Blades  |  July 9, 2007 at 12:55 pm

  Hehe. The three most common things I hear are:

  1. Are you a girl? [Sigh... Yes.]

  2. What’s your bra size? (sometimes worded differently and more vulgar) [I'm not big, don't get excited.]

  3. Do you have a picture or myspace? [No. Myspace sucks.]

  And on Starcraft, I’m told that girls don’t play games, and they belong in the kitchen. :/

  I love this list, and your comebacks. You’re awesome.

• 30. bs angel  |  July 9, 2007 at 12:57 pm

  Wow. I have no idea how that relates to this article, but thank you for the appetizing story!

  Your comment would be perfect for this article. In fact, one of those rules was probably made just for your friend.

• 31. Walshicus  |  July 9, 2007 at 1:38 pm

  I must confess I’ve actually used a variant of number seven before.

  It was a particularly one-sided game of H3 Beta, where the entireity of the opposite team - minus one - had quit. On congratulating the person for sticking it out in the post game lobby, we were met with a string of high-pitched abuse. A friend on my team asked in jovial manner how old the person was. What followed was the BEST. DAMN. RESPONSE. EVAR:
  “Old enough to suck your balls!”
  We laughed for a while, until I managed to gasp something to the effect of:
  “Sweet Mother of Artemis, boy…”
  Which gave us:
  “I’m a girl guv’na! Retard!” - we were all English, see.

  So there you have it. All girls are jerks.

• 32. Shadowblade  |  July 9, 2007 at 2:10 pm

  good list i personaly think that more gamers girl or other are good and have nothing against girls. u mostly get these from boys who just got their @$$es handed to tehm by a girl

• 33. Smurfa  |  July 9, 2007 at 3:31 pm

  Hahaha, nice replys. Loved the list. As a guy, I am ashamed that other guys treat girls bad, it’s just stupid. I wish everyone could play online without getting harassed. Unfortunately I guess that won’t happen in a long time, so keep up with the fine replys and keep kicking our a***s in whatever game your playing. That might make them to shut up.

• 34. Kroll GB  |  July 9, 2007 at 3:46 pm

  Heh, the tide is slowly turning-

  I was in a game of Halo 2, saw we were up against some of the higher ranked PMS girls. Every member of our 4 man (all strangers) team groaned; the conversation went like this:

  Me- Wow, we’re up against PMS
  PMS- And???
  All (Pretty much in unison)- we’re going to get killed…
  PMS- Giggles

  Keep it up ladies, there are some of us who can take it.

• 35. pogi  |  July 9, 2007 at 3:52 pm

  I’ve played with many of the pms girls back when it h2 was just release and I use to hear lots of slut/whore/bitch calls. We kinda put it in their face when the score was 50-25 hehe. Big Team Battle was the best. Hearing 8 other voices calling out sluts with a squeaky voice.

• 36. Monty Python  |  July 9, 2007 at 4:27 pm

  Heh. Pretty funny.

  Anyways, as a guy gamer I try to be nice to any female gamers I meet on Live (admittedly not many, which is unfortuneate because the one that are there tend to be less jerky).

• 37. Eisen Feuer  |  July 9, 2007 at 5:00 pm

  lol I must memorize these verbatim for the next time we play :3

• 38. trigarhappy  |  July 9, 2007 at 5:29 pm

  Wait… do you want new (non-vulgar) comments for kicks or not?
  I personally almost prefer to play with girls because the ones that I have played with usually have different strategies than most of the people out there. Keep the witty comments coming back. (A follow up to this would be awesome)

• 39. Stormwing  |  July 9, 2007 at 6:17 pm

  There are no girls on the internet. there are no girls that play games. that in scientically proven FACT.

  kidding aside, all the girls I know can get sooo brutal when playing video games, it’s terrifying. Great list, and so very true. But it’s too bad stuff like this gives a negative effect on the community as a whole….there aren’t enough girls to counter the number of jerkoffs on the internet/games. It’s always a massive sausagefest of morons out there.
  I also love how they all sent friend requests, not that that’s surprising…

  nice comebacks. hope that sandwich was good.

• 40. writeitoutplease  |  July 9, 2007 at 6:25 pm

  The people who ask those questions are probably 12-15 years old, or have the mind of a person who is. Actually, this insults the smarter 12-15 year olds. So, to rephrase, people who ask those questions are just idiots. That would insult the idiots. People who ask those questions just don’t have any place in life.

• 41. Elnea  |  July 9, 2007 at 9:33 pm

  The sad thing is that this sort of thing makes a lot of girls just turn off their microphones so the other players won’t know they are women. I’ve done it myself. During the Halo3 Beta I played several matches with some players and only after the third match did I realize they were also female!

  Something funny that’s happened a few times is that I play online a fair amount with my son (yes, I have my own account), and occasionally someone will start taunting him about being a kid and saying things like, “Hey kid, I ****ed your mom.” and I’ll say, “Really? I don’t remember you…”

  It really confuses people when someone’s mom is online. On the flip side it gets really uncomfortable when they start verbally abusing me. With my son sitting right there. Usually I just quit rather than listen to that. I can’t wait for the new easy-to-use mute feature in Halo 3…

• 42. Ra-Devil  |  July 10, 2007 at 12:26 am

  God. I feel like such an a$$. I’ve met girls playing Halo 2 before, and once I did think they were a little kid trying to pretend… *sigh*

  Does that make me sexist? I mean, after having a prank pulled on me by my friend where he said he’d invite his girlfriend into the match so when I start talking to them everyone in the match busts out laughing because it was actually the guy’s younger brother playing doesn’t exactly make you feel comfortable every time you here a non-monotone voice come through the headset. At least to me most guy’s voices just sound monotone and almost transparent when compared to most other voices, unless you actually know the person.

  I did meet some girls online actually, and I didn’t make an a$$ of myself when I did those other times, because I learned to keep my mouth shut and only say things relevant to the game. As long as you just act as if nothing different is occuring… since it’s really nothing special when a girl is playing a game, then there isn’t an issue. I just wish all people weren’t retards/jacka$$es/pricks/imature/stupid. But most are.

• 43. monster  |  July 10, 2007 at 4:22 am

  Every now and then my ex-roomates girlfriend would play on my account. The next day I always had like a million friend requests, the message attached was usually “lets hook up.”

• 44. Deadguy71  |  July 10, 2007 at 5:28 am

  lol
  “As long as you just act as if nothing different is occuring…”

  This right here is part of the problem. There IS nothing different occurring.. if you think there IS, then you’re being sexist by definition.

  Just play, have fun, don’t worry about who/what the other folks are, just stay respectful to folks that aren’t disrespectful to you. You don’t have to treat them nice because they’re girls and “need / deserve that”.. you should treat ‘em nice because they’re human.

  Girls can be disrespectful too, treat ‘em accordingly.

• 45. Lex  |  July 10, 2007 at 5:43 am

  Freaking. Hilarious. It’s amazing that people are that stupid.

• 46. Stuicide  |  July 10, 2007 at 7:31 am

  It’s easy to ignore it when the mean guys are on the other team, it’s actually fun to shoot them.

  Sucks when the verbal abuser is on your own team, that’s why I only party with Gunslingers. Makes it easy to win when you stack your team.

• 47. Terry  |  July 10, 2007 at 9:47 am

  “I feel embarrassed to be a guy sometimes when I hear things like this. There are idiots that don’t know how to act toward women period and Xbox Live is no exception.”
  LOL PERIUD!!!!11!!1!!

  In all seriousness, I hear that crap that you listed all the time being said to any and all girls in the game. Not at me though because I’m male, but I occasionally let slip a word of Hebrew or mention it to someone in my house with me and I get the bloody Neo-Nazi brigade all over my ass. Although the funniest one was when the Nazi’s team turned out to be 3 Jewish brothers….TKing and teabagging ensues.

  Anyway, I hope that these people’s parents actually read the damn M rating on Halo 3 when it comes out, so that I can be free of the annoyance.

  This is why I tend to turn of my mic when I play online games. Thankfully, I have to say that most of the guys I run into while playing online are actually very courteous and don’t even ask whether or not I’m a girl. Of course, that might be because they mistake me for an 11-year-old boy, so…

  Anyway, great post!

• 61. Crazyeye0  |  October 25, 2007 at 5:45 am

  Anyone who does this is the apitamy of gamers with no life, their the people who make the male gamers look bad, and they also put off the female gamers from gaming, and probably spread a stereotype for gamers being pervs.

• 65. Loup Solitaire  |  November 16, 2007 at 7:48 am

  I’m a man but the only thing I used to do in front of a girl playing Halo is : Are you a girl? (girly gamer tag or pink suit*), and then friend request (yes girls playing make me horny, that’s like the “virgin phantasm lol). Anyway being beaten by a girl is always painful (it happened to me once) but that’s cool to see them at high skill levels.
  Your article is quite funny I’ll quote you on my blog. ^^

  I frequently hear statements from blokes like ‘girl’s brains aren’t meant for gaming! - like map reading, they’re just not equipped to understand it.’

  Clearly we must have excess brain power, does this mean we need to have a lobotomy before purchasing an xbox?

• 67. NukieFreak  |  November 18, 2007 at 9:55 am

  I play with a girl i know all the time. As soon as guys find out that she is one, they act like the most immature 11 year old. Bitch is said every other word. They go way over the top with sexual questions. At first we found it a little funny, but now its just mind boggling pathetic.

  I know what you mean Loup Solitaire - “* pink is also very common with homosexuals as it seems.”

  Us homosexuals are just frought with stereotypes. If your a man, then act like one. Girls (not women) make you horny, but you have to dominate them or your in pain? You might be happy relocating to the 50’s. Oh wait, no Halo then - Sorry!

• 80. MikeLovely  |  November 18, 2007 at 11:33 am

  You have to admit that female gamers are few and far between, most of my female friends (and I have alot of them) don’t regullarly play games and when they do its katamari damacy or possibly one or 2 rounds of halo. Sorry you had to deal with the immature fat boys/frat fags but until there are more females who play this crap is gunna happen.

  p.s. Not saying I haven’t know girl gamers I knew a few, but most were back when I was a video game arts major, one girl I knew had a half sleeve tattoo that was all game related, adn she kicked everyones ass in our major. I could marry a girl like that.

• 82. Mike  |  November 18, 2007 at 11:40 am

  I got a bunch of these type of questions after I used “Katie”, my wife’s name, to name a starcraft game. Note: Katie wasn’t my player name, but simply a game name. A girl even commented to me about how there are no girls playing online, and the boys kept hitting on her. A few minutes after I told her Katie was my wife, she left the game citing her boyfriend was there?

  I’m always amazed on how sexist the players and companies can be. Ever see the pictures of these gaming shows? Gaming companies seem to always use barely dressed women to promote their games.

  Good luck on your list!

• 83. Godlesswanderer  |  November 18, 2007 at 11:41 am

  Sadly, the majority of people on Live do this (which I’m sure you already know); whether they’re 10 year old or an adult. And with that said, I respect the fact that you’re still playing, I know a couple girls that hardly play online anymore at all because they’d get abused or generally annoyed by other players in every game they played.
  Also, expect to get a lot of friend requests within the next couple hours. You’re on the front page of Digg.

• 84. Ben  |  November 18, 2007 at 12:07 pm

• 86. One of the retarded gender  |  November 18, 2007 at 12:16 pm

  Bravo on finally calling out the horny, perverted and immature majority of my gender. It’s about time, seriously. I hate sitting in CS games or Halo games with guys doing exactly the things you listed above.

  Just a few more to add, and I’m going to be calling out a few in these comments you’re getting, would be:

  1. They’ll “defend” you and possibly try to get closer to you in that sense. This is an overused tactic and some of the time, it works. Right after, you’ll see a following of your 6th, 7th, and last ones on your list. Don’t fall for it

  2. People who usually have to defend themselves automatically and points fingers, usually have done one of the others and are trying to play it off. I mean the people who are saying stuff like, “omg who does that?? haha losers” or “i never did that before!”
  Good try to you guys, as I’m sure you already did it before.

  This last one goes out to the ones angel pointed out - keep it in your pants. If you can’t get a girl IRL, you don’t deserve one at all.

  The funniest thing is, anyone making a comment at me about this post obviously means they’re offended (unless it’s a girl or angel). And I really don’t give a shit anyway.

  Oh and angel - nice list

• 90. Axel  |  November 18, 2007 at 12:32 pm

  Yeah, I hear girl gamers whine about this all the time.

  Three Situations
  1.) Girl Gamer: “I’m a Girl!” - Typical Questions ensue
  2.) High pitch yelling hurts the ears - Typical response starts
  3.) Some retard notices it MIGHT be a girl - Typical Questions start

  I’d say 80% of the time its situation 1. As a “oh my boyfriend and I are XX” or ect ect to “hint” its a female on the other end. Grow up.

• 91. bs angel  |  November 18, 2007 at 12:35 pm

  Excellent. I always enjoy when someone comes along and tries to place the blame on the victim of the situation. Girl gamers deserve it because … well they’re girls. And they open their mouths sometimes. Seriously, the nerve.

  And since we going into percentages, I’d say 80% of the time you’re an ass.

• 92. Axel  |  November 18, 2007 at 12:43 pm

  Nah, not placing blame on the victim. Just stating LAN party afte LAN party.

  Actually, i was the guy the female gamers always came to talk to. I wasnt trying to get in thier pants at the parties and talked to them like they were humans instead of a set of boobs.

  I’m say as a default ratio, alot of the stuff female gamers do cause some of thier own grief. Notice no where in there do I say the girl deserved it.

  Honestly you may not fall into the typical #1 catagory, I give you mad props for approving the post. Just remember, your playing with a lot of 14y/os and guys who havnt had a g/f in years due to neglecting them and thier jobs. So, although not right, its easy to send those retards in that direction.

  Thanks for coming back and at least clarifying some stuff. I think stereotypes in general are negative so instead I will say some females may bring it upon themselves, some females may not. I can’t speak for experiences more than my own.

  I will say this article is simply poking fun at the randoms that inhabit the world of Xbox Live. There is no whining going on, there is no “poor me” going on, it is simply a rolling of the eyes at common occurrences. I’m on Xbox Live to game. So I am going to game, and everything else that happens simply rolls off my back.

  i definitely agree that some females bring it upon themselves, so really it doesn’t bother me when i get one of these, i just shove it back in their face, it amuses me more than anything. i play cs though, (yay pc!) and i guess some of those guys have less of lives and therefore are a little more creative than console gamers? i dunno, im half asleep still so i cant think of one off of the top of my head, but ive heard some pretty interesting ones.

  Thank you for getting the message out, and in a humorous way that gets the point across.

  I have long said that there is a shortage of women in computers/electronics/gaming, not because there is a lack of interest or talent, but because we experience so much harassment that many of us just get too fed up and go elsewhere, or stop doing what we love to do.

  This is a shame. Kudos to you for sticking it out! You have a tougher skin and quicker wit than most, male or female.

  More or less, I’m making fun of all the other guys trying to hook up and get laid. Yeah. Like YOU”RE really going to make such an impression on this girl buy a freakin’ video game that she’s going to cream her panties to come and find you and make hot passionate love to you and marry you on the spot.

  Hi there, always keep in mind that you are participating in a generally working-class/teen male demographic.

  It doesn’t come to a surprise that what you experience on Xbox live servers would roughly resemble a cartoon biker bar filled with tired puns and sex-depraved man-children.

  As for myself, a real man, with an adult set of male shoulders, id rather keep enjoying my brilliant Wii.

• 111. Coherent  |  November 18, 2007 at 2:42 pm

  The real question is, under what circumstances would you, as a girl gamer actually accept a friend request from a guy that you’ve teamed with? Maybe they just think you rocked as a teammate and they want to play with you more.

  That’s the big issue with so few girls being on the net and involved with online gaming. It must be hard for them to tell who their real friends are versus random idiots who just want to get into their pants.

  I suggest the solution is to get MORE women involved with online gaming until men are actually in the minority. THEN the age of suspicion will be at an end

• 118. Mec  |  November 18, 2007 at 3:01 pm

  The secret truth is, women need to be belittled when they play video games because they are feared. If they become comfortable among us there, then they will inevitably become better than us there — as they have proven in almost every other area of life.

• 119. raetsel  |  November 18, 2007 at 3:03 pm

  funnier are the girls who use names to purposefully illustrate that they are female… and try to insinuate that they are, in fact, hot (or sluts looking for attention somehow otherwise)… who then complain that this is all they hear. Hideo is an idiot for thinking gender has a direct correlation to skill, but at the same time potentially has a point since plenty of women are misrepresented in video games by doing exactly what i said above. you won’t even know much of the time that it’s a girl who just kicked your ass because many aren’t either insecure enough or feminazi enough to have to advertise it (and you sure can’t base anything off character gender choice).

• 120. Delta  |  November 18, 2007 at 3:08 pm

  This about what I expected when I heard about this list, I don’t understand what the big deal is. I was playing COD4 with some girls the other day and it’s not like everyone freaked out and started asking all the weird question. She played her match just like everyone else we had fun and play a few more matches, but I bet she still got a few friend request.

  Just to ask does this whole list of question seem to happen more often in one game then any others?

  In real life, if you’re a somewhat attractive female, the majority of guys will do whatever it takes to get conversation out of you (they also set their goal to a much much higher level). The ones that don’t do whatever it takes are either too shy to do it, or they’re actually genuine men (with/without confidence) (or of course they have no interest at all)

  In game: Guys will let their fantasies fly, and assume you’ll be some kind of hot piece of ass ready to do their bidding. They will say and do whatever they can to get in your skin and make you respond. If it’s a good day, they’ll get some conversation out of you. The more questions they ask that get answers, the more questions they will ask. Not much different than real life. Asking questions about a boyfriend can yield a few bits of information. You’re single (duh), or it’s a possible chance that the guy asking the question will assume that you’re attractive enough to have a boyfriend. “I CAN SRSLY B UR ONLINE BF LOL!”

  Every male friend I have, I just shake my head at them and laugh. I’ve never met another guy that actually shows some respect. Not to feed the guy hating fire, because I’m a guy, but the majority of guys are fucktards. Find new ways to get girls and treat them like human beings and you might actually get a girlfriend someday. That is if you put down the controller and leave the house.

  I’m sorry to hear that this has typified your experience online… Do you have any suggestions on what would be considered appropriate language for chatting up a female gamer online?

  Unfortunately, regardless of all the talk about equality of the sexes, it still most often falls to the man to make the first overtures of a relationship, and falls tot he woman to accept or reject those advances… the human mating ritual I suppose.

  Perhaps you have some insight as to what one might say?

  funny post =D

  hehehe.. yeah I get this alot in MMO’s using a female avatar (I like playing female characters. Not cause I’m girly >.<

  But I won’t lie. I enjoy the awkward silences. The ones that are so long I can almost hear them questioning their sexuality, after revealing I’m actually a guy.

  Any payouts in the aftermath, I usually retort with further pokes at their sexuality… like, reminding them that they just tried to pick up a guy. =P

  I occassionally get the the weirdo’s who want cyber out of nowhere. I usually tell them I’m a minor and chuckle as they immediately log out. (the gf finds this one funny too)

  It’s moderately entertaining and breaks up the monotony of questing. =P

  But I think I might be a part of the reason why girl’s get talked to the way they do in online games. Sorry bout that..

  anyways, enjoyed reading this blog. Regardless of how well known this type of thing is, it’s always funnier reading about it.

  I was playing Halo 3 with some buddies, and this dick goes, “You’re a girl, wait, wait a second!” “Aren’t your brains 3x’s smaller then men?” I replied, “Oh that’s ironic, because so is your D**K.” I think girls should take this trash talk and shove it right back at them. These losers who have to pick on women, are such pussies. Honestly I believe they do this to make themselves better. Sure it’s fun and all but sometimes it can be taken personal. And for women, who most of you already know, just take it in one ear and out the other.

  It’d be easier to sympathize if circles like yours drop the “gamer grrl” mentality and just designate themselves “gamers.” Stop treating it like a new medium for the battle of the sexes and just PLAY. Besides, this has less to do with sexism and more to do with the vast majority of Xbox Live players being functionally retarded.

• 149. bs angel  |  November 18, 2007 at 7:01 pm

  You bring up an excellent point Qial.

  I do not think females are treated any better or any worse than anybody else on Xbox Live. If you dig deeper into my blog, you will find that out. My thoughts are that anybody who stands out gets picked on. It doesn’t bother me. As Liz so eloquently put, it all goes in one ear and out the other. If it bothered me in the least bit, I would have stopped gaming a long time ago.

  Unfortunately though until the virtual world becomes a more positive place, certain groups will continue to band together to create a more positive experience for themselves. You find that with PMS and other female groups. You also find it at places like GayGamer.net. I for one am a supporter of groups like that with the highly negative environment we find ourselves in. Until people learn to act in a mature manner, like minded people will continue to find solace amongst each other.

  Im a girl, and I play Xbox on a regular basis.
  I can back you up on this. I get these comments ALL the time.

  Mostly the one where people think I am a 12 year old boy. Its usually more along the lines of “Oh man.. we got a kid on our team!!”

  “No jackass, Im a girl!”

  “No way ! Your not a girl?”

  “Yes I am”

  “BE MY FRIEND!”

  *sigh*

• 155. Nick  |  November 18, 2007 at 7:50 pm

  You know I play games with my wife all of the time..and yes she has her own Xbox live account and flies solo with the gaming.

  I found an interesting article talking about this exact issue.
  

  pretty cool post btw.

  Ya,
  its sad that stereotypes like this are constantly reinforced. Guys ripping on women for playing hard-core video games is like a white man ripping on a black man for skate boarding, or a black man ripping on a white man for playing basketball or digging hip hop. Let us all accept each other in all that we do and have no exceptions and biases in our judgments. On that note like tupac’s song “only God can judge me”, let us feel that way about others and accept one another. Stop hating.

  Hahaha…this is funny..ignore them and just enjoy your “Live” gaming….and feel free to frag them male egos…

  MCP just makes me feel bad being a guy myself…

  Well refer to a comment above about some 12yr old kid..

  I am not embarass to say that I was once defeated by a 12yr old kid….hey may the best gamer win regardless of age and gender…

  I am looking forward to the day my son frags my old sorry ass in UT3 or something

  I respect females that are willing to put up with this and play a little live.

• 166. Erik  |  November 18, 2007 at 9:49 pm

  Back when the PSU demo first came on live anyone that looked like a girl was either surrounded by guys or were being teabagged. Anyone that was confirmed to be a girl was surrounded by even more guy’s and teabagged to hell. God that was annoying, guy’s I doubt a girl wants to date you over XBL they are there to kick ass and take names.

• 167. JVENEGAS  |  November 18, 2007 at 10:18 pm

  i think this is a good eye opener. i play with a few girls that are actually really good. i think its funny people say shit like this just cause its ignorant and disrepectful. its hilarious when these girls kick your ass too isnt it guys? hahah

  nice post.

• 168. DaRebel  |  November 18, 2007 at 10:31 pm

  funny thing is, i let the girls i have over play on my account all the time just to hear what guys say. and if it isn’t “um, ok it’s a girl” as if they’re nervous, its at least 3 of these top 10. nice list

• 169. bettie88rebel  |  November 18, 2007 at 11:05 pm

  Dude seriously it really sucks being a girl gamer… cuz there are too many idiots on there trying to hook-up and talk shit ….. but i’m a tough ass chick, so i tell these fuckers how it really is…. i lay it down, and take names.. i’m really tired of lame lil boys trying to talk there shit, like there momma’s didnt teach them anything.. prob didnt! i play mostly shooters, and its bad enough when i get guys saying “oh girls arent supposted to play video games.. but i’m 28 years old and have been a gamer for more than 20 years… so get over it…ALREADY!

  Is this really your blog? Aren’t you just using your boyfriend’s blog? I mean, everybody knows that girls don’t blog!

  Where do you live btw?!

  Geez, what a bitch! I’m just messin’ with you. I make sure to ask all of those questions when a girl comes on because I know how you “woah mans” love the sweet talk.

• 174. Darren Cornwell  |  November 19, 2007 at 2:13 am

  Monday morning reading and I stumbled across this - really well said - got a laugh out of me. Evidentially, all gamers (or people) are not created equal - what makes me laugh is it’s just a game, just a service, just a place for us all to play together and waste a bit of time - why do we all take it so seriously?

• 175. Santi "QPAD Akion"  |  November 19, 2007 at 2:16 am

  Hehe Well Im really not suprised to see that comments like this accurr. The same happens to girls that play for example Counter-Strike. These boys who never interact with any girls still dont understand that some girls actually lke gaming.

  I met my girlfriend on Day of Defeat. Yes, it’s not XBL but it’s still online gaming. We played on the same server for something like three years and never really spoke to each other. One evening (May 17th 2005) we just had a bit of a random chat, which went on for a little longer than expected and saw us go to bed at 04:30.

  Fast forward to now and I’ve moved down to live with her and things are just great for the both of us.

  Thinking back to those days of playing on a server where a lot of girls (and women) played, it’s strange to see how many of the same “OMG! hi2u” comments come around time after time. It gets tiresome after a while - and that’s as an observer - so it must be bad when you’re on the receiving end all the time. At least on most PC servers you can just ban the idiots.

  You just need to remember that these boys have never had a girlfriend whose surname isn’t “.jpg”.

• 178. shpyda  |  November 19, 2007 at 2:54 am

  I can completely relate to all 10 of these comments. My husband actually saw your blog and forwarded it to me. I know that a few males on here have commented about the girls bringing it on… this is not true in my case. In Halo 3 I have a red and black uniform, and a gamertag that is non gender specific, but if I open my mouth slightly to talk to one of my friends (almost all of which happen to be amazing men) a wave of comments come my way. I have heard every single comment on your list numerous times. They actually don’t bother me they just make me laugh.

  Someone said on here that it is about skill level and that the women just aren’t up to par. Well, I for one normally dominate and the 3 other women that I have as friends do as well. So it’s not skill… it’s just simply having a womans voice that brings on the crap. I don’t even respond, luckily all of my male friends take care of that for me.

  So like I said above, normally it just makes me laugh but there has been twice where guys on my team have gone against me and harrassed me the entire game. My own team! Those two times I was not able to laugh or shrug it off. I have never been so ripped into or torn down for absolutely no reason. Each time I just ignored them and let the other members of my team rip into them. The last time though the guy got up in my face and he had been saying some really, really awful things that I can’t repeat. Well, when he got up in my face… I shot him.

  Hey i just got the link for this through Kotaku. I think i actually played a Halo 3 match against you once (i remember wondering what the bs stood for :p) you kicked my ass! (Come to think of it so does anybod else.) Cool list although i’d like to see like a top 20 because its so funny

• 182. Digit  |  November 19, 2007 at 6:14 am

  To be honest, I’ve said the first one several times, but as a joke. I don’t really think it’s something anyone could take seriously surely? My wife and I play TF2 and numerous other games, and she prefers people don’t know that her character has a woman behind the wheels, for pretty much this reason.

  I also don’t think it’s really fair to push around the whole, “You are so shocked that I’m a girl, so you clearly don’t ever interact with girls ever.” It’s a pretty broad generalisation to level at the male gaming audience, whereas I think most of these come from the genuine internet jerk(tm). Also I would imagine someone who totally does not believe you are female, for even a second. As to be fair, considering the industry is one where we constantly pine for more and more woman to play, it’s odd to treat them like this in light of that. I imagine too, any angry responses to this, are either the same crowd who make remarks like this, or just that sort of group that follow popular links and then post about how they definitely shouldn’t be popular, and then unravel a scrolls-worth of reasons why.

  I would encourage anyone who is subject to these sorts of abuse to either ignore or just answer pretty plainly, I really don’t think online gaming needs any more trash-talk, seriously, we play games, it&
