I have moved this thread from "Friendship and General Social Interaction" to "Off the Wall: Forum Games, Quizzes, Roleplaying, etc.".

I think many people were taking it all seriously, whereas I believe that TrueDave intended it as a joke. (If that was not his intention, I'll happily delete the thread and ban him. :) )

Oh really? Don't make assumptions based on gender dear. I frequented my local comic shop for X-Files merchandise (back in the 90's early 2000s) so often that one day I was kicked out! I walked into the crowded shop for the newest comic (the shop was never crowded, so that was nice.. :roll: ) The guy behind the counter yelled across the shop so that everyone turned & looked at me (with a straight face) "We no longer carry X-Files merchandise, GET OUT!" 8O The whole store erupted in laughter, the little snot. :lol:


FFS, why?

And people who are seriously afraid of being beaten by a girl have issues. Female video gamers are just as common nowadays. :wink:

Of course its a joke.

You know I once wrote a story that made fun of the insanity of prejudice. It was a sort of time travelling hitler type who was trying to erase redheads before they ever existed.

The punch line is I find out that in reality redheads HAVE been persecuted for a long time.

I thought I was picking the most ridiculous thing and yet here it was unfortunately true.

I should know not to use sarcasam. I let my guard down in jest and I have done so in the wrong place.

Humor is very easily misunderstood by AS and NTs I should avoid it.

OMG, I know! I can't BELIEVE he actually had the NADS to point out the fact that years ago it was not mainstream for girls to partake in certain activities deemed "boyish" by society. How dare he be startled by the fact that he has a new league of competition in the gaming world. How dare he.

Good word, by the way. "Misogynist". This post just SCREAMS "hatred of women". Pure hatred. That's all he is.

By the way, TrueDave. Ever play Halo 3 online? Name's KRISTAMETH, BIATCH, unless you're scared (or a misogynist ;) ).

No I won't play Halo 3 online.

Ive been trying to make it past the first dreen of Space invaders for almost thirty years and the second screen of MISS Pac Man for 25.

As soon as I get that accomplished I might play.

I'm still embarrased by the time I had my friend play Tetris on Nintendo with me. I spent like a half hour explaining it and showing her what to do . Little did I know she had the game on her dads computer. She beat my wimpy Nintendo version. She sat there not saying a word the whole time I was explaining.

I also dont appreciate it when girls rudely beat me at board games.

Especially when they are under ten years old and I just showed them how to play three days earlier. :x

I smell the scent of Chauvinistic pig...

Sexism is NOT cool, even if in "fun".

I beg to differ. I think it's pretty fun when my fiance makes me wear this little pink apron while I make him breakfast and do his laundry. Sometimes he even lets me out of the house if I rub his feet long enough. He's so amazing.

Seriously, "chauvinistic pig" is quite a far stretch in this instance. Attitude of superiority toward the opposite sex? I don't see that at all.

OK I'll admit it I AM A SEXIST.

I have and probably will always think girls are better than guys.

I can just see you in a biker outfit with hob-nailed boots and leather gauntlets and a little pink apron over it. That would work.

Why thank you.

I wore a wacky outfit last night to a Valentines Day party at a punk bar. The theme was "pink , Punk and Blue" theme.

A girl that was talking to me sais I must get hit on by losts of lesbians. That made no sense. I'd nevr been to a Lesbian bar before, as far as I know. I only went cause my buddy was the DJ.

I kinda looked like Edward Scissorhands or Micheal Jackson in "bad" becasue of all the belts and such. With a pink tattered shirt.And Blue hair.And eyeliner.

I got to meet some real life lesbians! I started talking to a pretty girl who was standing alone. I realized it was the line for the ladies room :oops: Anyway I asked her about one of the movie posters on the Bar wall. "Big Bad Momma" I said I had to pick a character for my acting class next week and needed to portray someone for two hours straight.

She answered, "I'm here with my girlfriend."

I said "oh, thats nice, Happy Valentines Day to you both! So anyway have you seen Big Bad Momma? The poster says William Shatner is in it. I think I could act like him for two hours , how about you? Do you do any impressions good enough to last two hours?"

Then a girl came up and started sucking on her face. I hope her girlfriend didnt see , I'd hate to see people fight on a holiday.

I would just like to point out that there sertainly is one part of the "geek- squad" that is in need of more female members.
I swear if I see one more teenage boy "roleplaying" a female character in our table-top sessions he will get his hair full of fireballs and magic missiles!
Female players have a wonderful way of balance the game out. Some of the worlds best roleplaying is done with girls, am I right guys? :wink:

Y Know I have never had the urge to play as a female.

Back Growing up I only thought there was one woman in the whole Star Wars galaxy becasue they didnt make female figures. The old philosophy was they wouldnt sell.

Now look at the action figures at the comic shops, the Posters, the Busts.

Which came first the " You're actually a woamn" ending in Metroid or the Anime schoolgirls in robots thing?

I really dont consider them women action figures or characters becausr all the women I have known were born with ribcages :lol:

Still. I like Xena. I saw her as a strong character not a shallow sexy thing. And I like Whats her name in Soul Caliber with the whip sword, IVY. I like playing her but I think its because she has a cool story and is close to my age.

When I was little I was in love with Linda Carter. I used to tie a towel to my head as a long hair wig and punch my hands through dixie cups as bullet proof bracelets.

Whats wrong with that?

I don't know what it is With the teen boys playing as girls. I liked to play games as monsters or aliens . I wanted to be something cool that I was not.

Howver much to the surprise of male geeks everywhere women are not fictional . ! !! !! !! !!

The geek culture women are VERY loosely based on real women.
About as much as The Hulk is based on me. Were both male but thats about it.

On the other hand I don't feel a unrealistic pressure to dress in tattered puple pants and cover myself in green body paint.

What up with that?
