Do Girl Gamers Have Cooties?

After the big ado about LocoRoco being "racist," it seems the gaming world is being torn apart by another "ist." Some girl gamers claim the gaming community is sexist and that boy gamers don't like playing with them just because they're girls. Here are the stories of four female gamers:

Therese "trito" Andersson of g0d clan (far right) says some guys get angry when they lose to a girl. "I use to play against a guy and he would always beat me. Suddenly, I started to beat him and he got so upset I beat him just because I was a girl."

Chantal “FAIRY 1” Deller (second from right) while playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live was called a "porker,” "fatty," and a "dyke." Later one of the guys who'd been harassing her apologized after he saw her pic and realized she's no porker!

Chantal “Chantaljoy” Moshakos (third from right) was petrified the first time she played Live! for being called out for being a girl. She was half right! Half the guys started "kissing my ass" the other half told her to get off because she was girl. Overall, she felt totally embarrassed by comments like “shouldn't I be buying shoes and drinking frappes with my girlfriends at the mall?”

Melissa “Elegyofhope” Castillo, Overlord of Unreal Films, (left) was playing training and this guy on her team and he found out she was a girl and he was like "hey baby, why are you playing with these losers when you can be playing with a real man!" Well, she had 16 kills and he had 4 at that point. The second lowest of the boys on her team.

There you have it. A few tales of discrimination. We can't say for sure if this is the norm or rare but unfortunate cases. And if its true that boy gamers hate girl gamers, we can't tell you why. Any girl-hating boy gamers out there care to explain?

when a guy does that to a girl on live or online the guy has:

A.- never talked to a girl before

B.- Is a nerd

C.- Is gay

D.- All above



It's plain wrong.



I got my ass kicked in call of duty 2 buy a girl and we just kept playing

Everyone gets made fun of onxbox live, no matter if you are a guy, girl, gay, Lesbian, someone will make fun of you. If a girl is playing on live that surprises me because I have only seen one girl online, in my online life. PLUS THE GIRL CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.

yeah who cares if their girls, as long as they play fairly, and its annoying listening to dudes trying to get laid over xbox live. I have no problem with anyone on live as long as they dont say anything to me cause I dont say anything to anyone unless its to help them out, oh an by the way THERE IS NOTHING FUNNIER IN HALO 2 THAN BEING TRASH TALKED BY A GIRL WHO IS HOST AND KNOWS IT LOL

# thats retardedGuest 2006-07-02 06:24
I go on xbox live and out of nowhere I am all of a sudden a *****got and I eat my mom out for breakfast... people have to realize that whether your a girl or boy, or the richest person in the world your going to be made fun of. Hell, If Bill Gates went on xbox live and noone he was playing with new he was Bill Gates he would be made fun of... So all these "Girl Gamers" need to stfu becuz its sad if anyone actually feels sorry for them.. All they tryin to do is get attention

# Uh ohGuest 2006-07-02 06:38
No it's all a lie! There are no girls on the internet! there are no girls at all! You know what girls are? They're a sceme by those commies to let us lower our defences! But I know better than that, so whenever I run into a supposed "girl" on one of those on-line games I grab hold of my Commie Zapper and take precautions by filling those commies up with the full load.



Except, I don't play games.

THIS POST IS SOOO FUNNY, haha i think the guys that play video games 24/7 need some girl/girls in there life. There life is dedicated to video games that no girl will pop into their life. Video games are cool, but heyy when you play a girl you gotta have some respect.





Lol look at all the video games guys are buying anyway, they buy them because there are some hot girls in it ex. WWE



P.S. this comment is coming from a guy

Bah if it ever happens it 99% chance stupid pre-pubecent teens, that aren't worth the air they breathe...such as #23, #21, #2 and #1.



It's not impossible to reach a certain level of maturity while your a teen, you can still do it if you try...



And rock on girl gamers, I know they are out there, I have a few friends that play and it's good to see. No one should holdout on doing something they enjoy because of other stupid a$$ peoples remarks or thoughts....

# sexists...Guest 2006-07-02 11:29
They are just as arrogant and biggoted as racists. Im sure all these female disrespecting jackasses are just your typical slack jawed central and southern american redneck hicks. The problem is that female gamers are a minority and the majority fears minorities taking superiority so that they go into offensive mode to try and keep the minorities down.



All they need is the next martin luther king jr of female gamers to speak up and bring pride to females who are gamers. I for one have lots of respect for girls who are daring enough to enter the male infested world of gaming. Even my girlfriend been a avid gamer since the days of NES.

My sister kicks my ass at Mario Kart DS all the *****ing time. I don't call her out for being a girl. My policy is as long as you can play a good game, your alright. In Xbox live, I probably should put a gag order on myself for cussing. I don't care who you are, it doesn't make a difference. I'll call you a flaming piece of last minutes sh#t all the goddamn time, so don't take it personally.

I treat them like guys cause its usually a 12 year old kid that pretends to be a girl.



These guys are just eager for attention thats all.

# I would say..Guest 2006-07-03 04:44
I would say that there are more gamer females in WoW than in most games I've played. One of the girl's in my guild (Elune on server Eitrigg), is by far, one of the best priests we have. Full tier 2 set, along with the best trinkets, rings, and staves in the game. She blows my hunter out of the water any day. Her being a girl doesn't make her any less of a gamer than the next. Of course we joke around with her, but we would never harrass her just for being a girl that likes WoW. Not to mention, she looks just as sweet as the 4 girls shown above.



My 2 cents: Female gamers own.

Well to whoever said giving out their gamer tags so they can be harrassed good job....most of these girls have been shown on every website/gameing show in the world because they are good for the marketing. Wouldn't you play if you had girls this good on your game? There not going to show the "ugly" fat chicks playing the games now are they.

# the term is sexistGuest 2006-07-03 14:07
we all hold generalizations about others...



for the most part there are reasons for stereotypes...



and the guys bashing women playing online, are just upset they were emasculated. playing violent "games" where killing is the object has always been a "man's" sport. when a man is upstaged by a woman, he's forced to re-evalute his masculinity.



women do what you do best, work the men. play stupid, like it was pure luck... the guy will generally back down, and you know what really happened. ;)



yes i am a guy...

and isn't chantal Joy cliffy B's girlfriend?







>>Yes "ChantalJoy" is Cliff's girlfriend. And YES people on Halo and LIVE can be pretty callous - ignore them. Some people just get a rise out of trash talking and putting others down. It's a shame that's all people usually hear about - rarely ever do people talk about the cool, one of a kind people on LIVE.



Keep your chin up and play on - not everyone is mean :o)



::OMG



I want to marry “Chantaljoy”





>>I doubt you'd want to marry me. I am sloppy, and have too much energy - I am always happy - I play too many videogames and I love country music and water way too much :o) Change your mind yet?

Just what is the point of this anyway... No offense I am by no means a woman hater but lets face it we all meet ass holes in any game we play. It is part of the experience and yes gaming is a guys world im not being sexist I am talking in facts that women are outnumbered by men in the gaming world by probably 50-1. I hate to be so cold about it but suck it up we all meet *****s its part of being able to freely think and act not that I condone it but this was pointless 0.o...
