Dear Gamer Gurls, GTFO

Jessica Winkler writes:

"I have been playing video games since I was old enough to hold a controller. There are few (and I mean VERY few) things in the gaming community that disgust me more than “Gamer Gurls”. Before you come at me with your torches and pitchforks, let me explain to you the difference between a female gamer and a “gamer gurl”. Since I already know some of you are putting on your troll hats as we speak, I’m going to lay this out as simply as I can."

I don't think that picture is accurate... The guy should be fat, have zits, and a bag of chips next to him... Also, empty cans of soda on the desk are a bonus lol.

Snookies124355d ago

Whaa, the one on the bottom looks like a guy. D:

RIPSKATEDESTROY4355d ago

it says "this is a gamer girl"

WeskerChildReborned4355d ago

Guy? Also how does being a gamer make us look fat or have zits? lol i think that's just stereotyping.

TheModernKamikaze4354d ago

You're stereotyping a guy. This is a girl.

I agree with this article. A gamer is a gamer, I treat them all the same (Which generally is like crap) I have played games with males and females, and its still the same game, I am not so desperate that I want to try to sweet talk some random girl in a random online game.

Really, it's kind of sad to see it happen, and I have cussed out people for doing that... it detracts from the game, and that's not why we are playing the game. We play it for fun not to find girls, you want that? Go outside or something!

Though I agree that girls who go online looking for attention piss me off more then the idiots fawning over her.

Nice article, good read.

Shadowstar4355d ago

Yeah. I could have done without calling them sluts. Couldn't we go with poseur or idiot or something a little less "omg! girls wanting sex is teh bads!" (which is what slut means).

Dear girls who feel the need to insult other girls as sluts, GTFO. We don't need you any more than we need the weirdos posing with game controllers.

Lord_Sloth4355d ago

Wanting sex isn't bad, putting yourself on display like a sex object simply to grab at attention then bitching about people treating you like 1 is.

These girls are seriously sluts. They're looking for attention by debasing themselves.

Shadowstar4355d ago

They can look for attention however they want. Slut shaming is still NOT ok. If they want sex, what's the problem? Some women do, some women don't.

Me? I don't, and I don't want men to treat me like a sex object. But that doesn't make me a better person or a better gamer than a woman who wants that stuff.

"Wanting sex isn't bad, putting yourself on display like a sex object simply to grab at attention *******then bitching about people treating you like 1 is.*********"

Sadly, some women have YET to understand this.

@ JAMurida

Indeed. They been brainwashed for decades into thinking freedom and rights comes with no strings attached. Well this is the result of society being too accomodating to fringe groups and malcontents.

Lord_Sloth4355d ago

Slut is describing the way they're acting. Freedom of speech. If they wanna call some1 acting like a slut a slut, what's the problem? There isn't 1 and I'm not arguing about it. They act like sluts, they're gonna get treated like a slut. End of story.

I treat men the same way too so don't try a double standard routine.

jeeves864355d ago

Okay. Let's not call em sluts then.

Let's just call them slutty.

Come on now. If you're going to act slutty, be prepared to be called a slut. Women and girls who do that should know better.

Kyosuke_Sanada4355d ago

Great read. A gamer girl is exactly what it should be a gamer that happens to be a girl nothing more or less.......

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
