Girl Gamers- 5 Things Guys do to Annoy Us

All girl gamers have been there- that moment of unpleasant, uncomfortable actions from male gamers. They act as if we are a rare species that they can freely harass, taunt and pick-on with no consequence. As most online bullying has no consequence, neither does the actions of rude males towards female players. Over the years ladies have gotten much tougher with dealing with these criticisms and now find these everyday interactions more annoying than hurtful. There are hundreds of different ways male gamers offending girl gamers but which do the lovely ladies of the community find the most annoying? (Culture)

How about an article "Guy Gamers- 5 Things Girls do to Annoy Us" now that would stir up some trouble. lol

no really i can see why guys that do this crap can get annoying.
INehalemEXI  +   297d ago
I'd like that.
Gaming101  +   296d ago
That article has actually already been done, but nonetheless.
Those things girls hate, like assuming she's fat, or ugly, or crap at gaming, they're all true only 99% of the time, but there's always that fraction of a percent of girls who's actually higher than a 7, but who are people kidding, stereotypes exist for a reason - because most of the time they're f'ing true.
Dmarc  +   296d ago
this annoy guy gamers so consider the score even ladies
this= being an attention whore then complaining when you get said attention.

lol, Girls have always been the kryptonite to guys. We will not unite :)
THESONYPS3  +   296d ago
Besides most of the stereotypes being 99% true, I reckon the most annoying part of girls playing is that think that guys will think they are cool and like them because they are gaming. When they aren't good at playing and its the biggest turn off. Girls try and get the attention by playing video games, but it usually fails for them as its usually negative feedback.
user5467007  +   297d ago
I'll get you started

1) Yelling something along the lines of "GIRL GAMER HERE...GOING TO BEAT ALL YOU GUYS LOL NOOBS", at the start of an online match". Then b*tching about it when you are "bullied" because of it and then proceeding to call online games a "Boys Club"

EDIT

@Below

Well lets just say I don't go online much but I've heard it quite a few times. I hear it more though when my brother is playing on COD.

Does that really happen though?
Enate  +   297d ago
Yes tiger that does happen usually when the girl is somewhat decent at the game. I have heard it quite a bit when I play cod.

As for the article I don't do any of that **** an if I do I don't say it. When I play cod I mute the other team and assume everyone as a threat. Equal bullets for everyone when I play no discrimination.
shammgod  +   297d ago
Well there's your problem...COD. All types of annoying douchebags play that
nukeitall  +   296d ago
I don't really meet to many girls, but when I do, immature guys do kind of act like in that article!
VanillaBear  +   297d ago
I find this sexist...

Hey if girls can use this line then guys can to.

Games have always been for guys, of course most guys are going to tick you off it's just the way things are, don't like it then F*ck off.
@VanillaBear

Well that explains the one bubble....
nukeitall  +   296d ago
The agree to disagree ratio tells you why articles likes these are written!

You only need a minority jerks to screw it up for the majority!!! o_0
dark-hollow  +   297d ago
it doesnt help when a lot of gamer girls (not all of them) are attention whoring.

they had to remind you again and again that they are female gamers.

OK OK WE GOT IT! youre a girl gamer with decent skills, now stfu and play.
user5467007  +   297d ago
Thing is though usualy the ones who do that have no skill...they basicaly play games for the attention or for their own social gimmick reasons.

I actually feel sorry for real girl gamers who are actually passionate about gaming, especialy before it went mainstream thanks to the Wii in 2006.
lociefer  +   297d ago

vikingland1  +   296d ago
@Iociefer: I agree there is no need to let everyone know or bring attention to their gender. Men/boy gamers don't go into deatails about their gender they just call themselves gamers not guy gamer or man gamer just gamers.
WeskerChildReborned  +   297d ago
Yea i hate how some guy gamers can't show respect to the girls. They would start using jokes like "why is their a game system in your kitchen?" or "make me a sandwich" when they need to understand it's not really that funny.

I'm a dude too so yea i just believe that you shouldn't treat girls differently cause they are a different gender.
ATi_Elite  +   296d ago
If you call yourself just a "Gamer" then guys shouldn't be idiots and just respect your skills.

but if you proclaim yourself a "Girl Gamer" well then prepare for the taunting that follows.
xAlmostPro  +   296d ago
That would probably be sexist to the girls.

I'll go anyway..

1) calling yourself 'girl gamers'. You're either a gamer or you're not. Stating you are a girl is irrelevant, attention seeking at it's finest.

sue me
Hicken  +   296d ago
That's really the point: be a gamer. If you're good, nobody gives a shit whether you're a guy or a girl. Or rather, the ones that do aren't worth paying attention to, anyway.

Want guys to stop treating you differently? Start acting like you're no different.
thezeldadoth  +   297d ago
just shut up
HammadTheOne  +   297d ago
I hate these articles made to somehow make the girl gamers stand out, just play games and youll be fine, no ones asking you to pose for attention and announce that youre a girl gamer as if that'll get guys to go easier on you.
thezeldadoth  +   297d ago
they're just so contradictory. They want to be treated completely equal, yet they continuously add "girl" to the title "gamer" I don't walk around calling myself a "guy gamer"

Septic  +   297d ago
Good point. Why insist on throwing around the label 'girl gamer' and then proceed to moan about it.

Ultimately, the vast majority of these girl gamers love the attention. And are fat *hides behind couch*
specialguest  +   297d ago
In a twist of bad fate, couch was discovered to be made out of marshmallow dipped in chocolate. Suddenly, hiding place becomes a prime target. Fat girl zeros in and thunder towards your direction....... panic!

Septic  +   297d ago
As I hid behind what I thought was a couch, I peer over what I felt was an oddly soft piece of furniture and meet the gaze of one of them, pupils dilated, an unprecedented resolve, a creature with an insatiable hunger. Only too late do I learn the folly of my ways as it turns to me and approaches with the grace of rhinoceros on stilts.

The ground shakes and so too does my faith in the control of my accursed bladder. Oh how I try to escape but am unable to do so. Is it fear that paralyses me? Can it be gravity? Surely the leviathan, with its considerable mass, cannot emit such a strong gravitational pull? I somehow pry my gaze away from the creature and notice in horror, the proverbial shackles of my inevitable fate.......chocolate. In my years I was aware of its deathly sweet potential to cause an affliction, but it was one that, I always thought, could strike from inside the body, not outside it. I was wrong.

I am Jack's seeping bile duct.
BelieveinGhosts  +   297d ago
ha ha, you are so right. I dont know about Xbox but i play on PSN and i can't tell you how manhy times i have spotted a girl gamer from a mile away because of their PSN ID which usually has the words: girl, diva, lady.
They also let you know they are a girl during a match to make sure us guys give them special treatment.

Funny thing is most those "girls" with gamertags that say girl in it are actually dudes pretending to be girls.
DeadIIIRed  +   297d ago
Exactly, you may as well show up to an all boys school, dress skimpy, shout through a megaphone that you are a woman, and then get offended that you attract some attention (positive and negative).
SilentNegotiator  +   297d ago
Hey girls! I'm a guy that really loves to play games!!! ♥♥♥

Hooby  +   297d ago
Most girl gamers are massive attention whores. HEY IM A GIRL GAMER IM A GIRL IM A GIRL HEY IM A GIRL WHO JUST KILLED YOU HA YOU GOT KILLED BY A GIRL NOT TO MENTION IM A GIRL.

Attention whores.

Not to mention they all have gamertags that tell the world they're girls as well "Gurlgamerkillzu" and the like. It's absolutely sickening.

Delete and block her immediately.
aGameDeveloper  +   297d ago
That could actually stand for "Mad Iron-Man Gamer"...
So self-centered ...

If I was her I would not lose my time like this -this is my personal opinion- because such articles are irrelevant and does not absolutely help to have a better view of girls who plays videogames.

Annoying sexist behavior.

@Hooby: exaclty, I totally agree.

to every girl gamer:

face it, you'll face harassment from us, believe it or not our goal is you, we want to score with a girl who likes games, don't want us bothering you then pick a vague name and don't use the mic, we'll never know.

and FYI, every field that is dominated by male do the same to the females who show interest in it, it's not gamers.

Nes_Daze  +   297d ago
I don't really give a shit if a girl plays games or not, more than half of them that do are ugly, I'm sorry, If it was up to me it wouldn't be like that, but that's reality. Not to mention as others said, they are attention whores, they won't admit it, but it is so damn obvious. But hey, everybody likes attention, what are you gonna do? It's life.
Diffraction_Fos  +   297d ago
Yep. It's that time of the month again.
BelieveinGhosts  +   297d ago
Its funny, one of the girl gamers we had on socom was an amazing player. She would frag me 8 out of 10 times on a one on one duel.
The point is she never boasted about being a girl gamer even though her clan dominated most matches they joined.

It is usually the bad players who have to compensate for their lack of skill by making sure evryone knows they are a girl gamer.
btw, they are usally found in call of duty

Well written article but this phenomenon is rapidly fading away. A couple of years ago it was a disaster in those lobbies, girls with headsets couldn't even use them because of these fools online. I see this problem disappearing in the near future.

Awesome article! Hates are gonna hate but you girl gamers show them how its done and then let the annoying people slide off your shoulders.
madjedi  +   296d ago
So guys are going to hate on females gaming?

Why is it so many groups, that claim to "just want to be accepted by society", always go so far out of their way to make themselves stand out like a sore thumb.

What does the gender, ethnicity or sexual preference of a opposing player, in a competitive fps matter.

" Hates are gonna hate( i hate that dumbass saying) but you girl gamers show them how its done(short of a strip tease or talking dirty to a guy to throw his game off).

She will do the exact same thing any other male player would do, kill the other bastard quicker or by employing better tactics/teamwork and then let the annoying people slide off your shoulders." See the post directly above mine for an example.

Sorry but this whole girl gamer power post is funny as hell.

Mute everyone and your own mic.

Edit:
I'll only turn on my mic if I know the people in the lobby other then that I don't turn it on.
Decaf_PIxel_Kat  +   297d ago
I tend to avoid mics altogether when I play online and I don't have a gamertag with the word"girl" in it so I avoid a lot of trouble.

Gekko  +   296d ago
Number 1 should be calling them 'girl gamers', I mean seriously, why do that? Gamers are gamers. You don't hear guys being called 'guy gamers'. It's like ostracising the gaming community for no valid reason.
