The Female Gamer - Are you guys not over this yet?

ITT: Attention ***** complaining about getting attention with white knight betas defending her.

Nice job breaking the stereotype about female gamers OP.

Well the entire storyline is based off of a combination of 1950s sci-fi serials, japanese samurai films (you know Japan? Not exactly the most progressive culture for the female gender), and some Joseph Campbell-isms, shaken and added with a twist of Sir Alec Guiness.

LOL please. In the 50s women didn't dress as provocative and wouldn't have been as vocal about sexual harassment. Today both have blown up to ridiculous proportions despite which was the essence of my point.

BDSM got big in the 1950's? Or am I mistaken on all the owner/slaves going around?

I know some people that got together through WoW. Who knows. You might bump into the right guy

Domination of one part of society by another? No, that totally didn't exist at all in the 50's because everyone was totally equal back then.

Look at this **** right here... We've got the creepers, we've got the desperate and we've got the self righteous. A third of you think a woman saying hello or being polite is code for "she wants a pounding from me". The second third of you don't know what to say at all and act like d-bags and the remaindered assume girl in the online community means Guy In Real Life.

If you get creepers who want to cyber simply because you said hello, report them for sexual harassment in-game. You got a d-bag being a dirty d-bag, ignore the ****er. For the rest of them, just let them assume, saves you the trouble of having them mutate into the first two thirds that are actually problems.

The rest of you fools should pipe down before a staff member comes and suspends your **** for being sexist and discussing things of a political sort.

Talking about being alpha males and all that ****, bull, your mothers are your alphas and when they tell you to sit up straight, you do it. I bet you punks still live with your mothers, then get all passive aggressive towards them and spew stupidity on the forums. Except for that one guy, the poster who talks about war, he is the living version of Ron Burgundy.

I would have thought that you, as a seasoned experienced gamer, would know by now to not be surprised at any behavior you encounter in a video game. Have you ever worked in the service sector? You rub shoulders with all walks of life and you either have a thick skin or quickly grow one. I would further say that MMO gamers are an even more socially awkward and immature subset of the population compared with other demographics. I'm on your side but you shouldn't expect to be coddled or expect everyone in the world to have the same social graces and collegiality that you may practice or expect.

He's DPS, just put him on /ignore... Only important classes + raid leader need to speak.

Actually, the OP's point was that this behaviour is actually novel and unique to TOR now.

The MMO community has evolved, this one seems to hold a higher share of the naive and the just plain clueless.
