A Chronicle of Misspelled Slurs — Except 'Fat,' 'Ugly' or 'Slutty'

From the message that Xbox Live user ralphy305 sent a female gamer, it's clear the time he should have spent on his spelling and grammar was instead put to keying in a text representation of an ejaculating penis.

Give the devil his due, though, ralphy305's invective was also a hat trick hitting the titular themes of "Fat, Ugly or Slutty," a repository of hate speech directed at female gamers, which launched last month. "u should hopp off cod & go to the kitchen where u belong & cook ur redneck lesbian gf a cock meat sandwitch fuck u dirty slut no life fat bitch."

Why so much hate on female players?? I have a couple of girl friends that play video games on ps3 and guys are always talking sh** seriously grow the fu** up it's people like this that give the rest of us players a bad name.

Edit:And now we wait for the retards commenting she should be in the kitchen making me a sandwhich.

gypsygib4826d ago (Edited 4826d ago )

It's like people devolve when they are safe behind their veil of internet anonymity or geographical separation. People should get 2 strikes for comments like that then a 6 month band.

I said 2 strikes just incase someones brother or jackass friend does it, not the actually account holder.

I hope people spam these guys with messages.

FrankMcSpank4825d ago

Xbox players should know that it's not annoying girls on LIVE, it's 11yo boys with undropped balls singing and throwing out racial remarks in their annoying high pitched squeaky voices that are ruing the game. Give the ladies some love, cause a gamer chick is definitely sexy.

blitz06234825d ago

It's pretty funny. The irony is that those guys who send those sexist messages are the fat ugly ones who no one wants to f*ck. They're just trying to make themselves feel better.

kancerkid4825d ago

Brotha Lynch Hung is such a good rapper though...

Gawdl3y4825d ago

This is appalling. Being a largely PC/PS3 gamer, I haven't seen nearly as much of this as there apparently is on the Xbox. People just seem to be a lot more mature on games like TF2 on the PC, but when you enter COD on consoles, you encounter this? Euch.

PirosThe4th4825d ago

In uncharted 2 that never happened only in one map. But because people where pissed at one girl who was owning them! XD
And I was like wow you are pretty damn good... the otehr where bitching about it lol...
stupid gamers have to grow up sometime... :P
At least you don't hear 11 year olds on psn...

Corepred44825d ago

"these messages are ridiculous, horrifying, but above all, funny"
exactly you guys stop being b*tch*s and learn that most of the things being said is just for fun, sh*ts and giggles. yes there are the occasional people the take it serious but whatever. since when did you gamers convert to feminist? sad...

Sarcasm4825d ago

Honestly, the only thing these girls or people in general can do is just report the message and delete everything else. Then move along and play some games.

And why does gaming girls have to be associated with being fat and ugly? There are a lot of hot girls who plays games regularly.

Focker4204825d ago

Wow, a kid with autism gets banned for nothing, yet these assholes can just run rampant. Joke or not some of these remarks are just crude and uncalled for. But this happens between just guys as well, So its somehow different when it happens to a girl? No. A vast majority of gamers are immature pricks that sit behind their anonymous little screename. It happens to everyone, not just girls.

ABizzel14825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

It's sad little boys, wishing they could get some.

Snake Raiser4825d ago

I know it happens to everyone, but if you've ever been in a game where there was only one girl you know they get picked on more. Sometimes it seems like i'm the only guy who doesn't make crude/insulting remarks as soon as a girl joins the room.
Being a guy I get my fair share of hate too, especially on my Youtube, but I have seen girls get absolutely harassed the second they join a game far too many times to think it is even.

if you saw most of them, they didnt deal with female hate...rather perversion...makes you wonder how many of these pedophiles try this kind of crap

shit, if i was a girl...id spam the hell out of their message box with pointless crap until their dumb and tiny brains finally got it

elmaton984825d ago

This guy is right to what he said to her, but then again, what do they think about us gamer.

Focker4204825d ago

Looks at screename... So you're around 13 years old if the 98 represents 1998. You're one of the immature gamers we're talking about.

TheGameFoxJTV4825d ago

Pent up little nerds taking their anger out at not being able to get a girlfriend on random chicks.That's all it is. They are lonely little social rejects.

r1sh124825d ago

a few chicks on my friends lists on both ps3 n xbox just mute.
I mean on xbox live you can choose who you want to communicate with, so most of the girls I know have switched their voice chat to friends only.
Most of the time the people getting angry are the kids who probably cant get a girl in real life.

Neckbear4825d ago

I support this man's idealism, even with his stupid, immature points and his eye-raping grammar.

Alas, I've had the luck of only dealing with a very small selection of those...heartless, cold monsters, with their "OMG I SUCH A NERD" and "IM A GURL GAMUR GUISE XDXD" attention whoring (Dart, this is why many, many men hate female players), and in those times I've done nothing but be grateful for the "mute" option in the voice chat.

However, this is the main reason I do not play online games too much. While I mentioned up above I supported this fellow's idealism against women, what I hate, despise, loathe, detest, abhor and abominate more than girl gamers are mindless, immature idiots going with their stupid "LOL I PWN U XDXD" bullshit that makes even the best game in our wide, big world feel not like a chore, but a complete, absolute torture against a human's sanity.

jack_burt0n4825d ago

U do have a point, there is a world of difference between "female gamers" and "females that game to get attention".

conswella4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

Every time any player, boy or girl, says or does something stupid they just demote themselves in they eyes of other people. If they don't want to be taken seriously, then why take them seriously? unfortunately they take a while to grow up.

NiKK_4194825d ago

@dart89
she should be in the kitchen makin me a dayum sammich, jus playin, had to say it :p
but yeah it really is like that, cuz when i play games wit girls in my party, guys are always sayin sum retarded shit, it's jus stupid the things they say, but that's pretty much jus COD, anything else isn't that bad

Parasyte4825d ago

Apparently you've never played Halo with any female gamers. It's even worse there.

NiKK_4194825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

nope, only played 1 and 2, and i tried 3 like twice, don't care for them after 1 and 2
n i dont have a 360 anyway

HellzAssassin4825d ago

Yeah, I don't fucking get it? Honestly, I love it! One of my ex's was just as much of a gamer as I: Fav game of hers was Jak & Daxter. But I just don't get it? Why WOULDN'T a guy want to have a girl gamer friend? They're great! Especially if you're a gamer yourself. Chances are, she'd understand if you want to play that new game that JUST came out for hours.

As you stated, people are immature, and they need to grow the fuck up. Than again... most of those people who degraded women gamers are more than likely 10 year old brats who don't know the basic fundamentals of life. =]

Sitris4825d ago

My girlfriend for the last 3 years is a huge gamer, more than me, she is just about to get her 50th platinum, and she is a fit tennis player, I am so lucky :)

HellzAssassin4825d ago

@Sitris

Man, that's great!! I hope my next girl will be a gamer :D. Can't count on it, but I can only hope. :D

WhiteNoise4825d ago

How can they hate what they've never tried?

Prototype4825d ago

I still have yet to meet any female gamers...

sbizarre4825d ago

hello, nice to meet you :)
now you have met one

Prototype4825d ago

:O WOW YOU DO EXIST....
*Faints*

NiKK_4194825d ago

lol i remember those commercials

jjohan354825d ago

The picture gave the promise of flesh, only to be disappointed for there is none here...

chainer30004825d ago

Wow, I am so surprised! Sexism/Racism/ Any-ism and hate-speech on the internet? And in competitive online gaming? What is the world coming to...? Immaturity in video games!?

But seriously, if you can't take the smack talk don't enable communication, I've been called worse and spammed just as badly - and not even for a reason, just because I was topping kill charts. Just hang with that BS and enjoy that you pissed someone off that badly just by beating them at a videogame. If you get truly hurt by a random message from someone who doesn't know you at all, then you have your own self-image issues.

Snake Raiser4825d ago

Especially because why would you WANT the female gamers to go away? I mean seriously, wouldn't you want more female gamers? Obviously it is just a bunch of 5-11 year old kids who don't like girls yet.
Hell when I see a female gamer (who I know is actually female) I try to be as nice as possible (without throwing the match) just so hopefully she will keep gaming.

Liefx4825d ago

I play on PS3 with my female friends and never do people harass them.

xAlmostPro4825d ago

Whats funny is they claim ALL female gamers are ugly and fat and sad for playing video games.

When 1. i know a few girl gamers in person who are very attractive.. and 2. most of the guys that send these kind of messages are most likely fat slobs who don't go out & would shit themselfs at the sight of a vagina in real life lol.

DanteFoxx4825d ago

it's crazy. on ps3 home I made my avatar a sexy like red head, just because i'd rather look at that than a guy avatar, but it's amazing how man guys come over trying to talk to me. I don't have a mic and hate the keyboard controld so then they start hating on me calling me all kinds of names and stalking me lol. it really shows the ignorance in many gamers.

Silly gameAr4826d ago (Edited 4826d ago )

I used to get hate messages through Live constantly. You know what you do? Laugh it off and move on.

What if every ethnic group started a website based on Xbox Live abuse? Well, we would have more websites like Fat, Ugly or Slutty, and still, nothing would change.

Slimshadyn4826d ago

Discrimination of any type should not be tolerated by anyone. I agree that they should simply laugh it off but anyone sending messages like those should be banned plain and simple. If people simply let these messages slide then more and more people will do it and the messages will only get worse.

If more cretins like gtz want to make sites them let them, but ignoring them will only make things worse.

Silly gameAr4826d ago

Depends on what people really want to do about it. The world is full of ignorance, and there's no way MS, Sony, or anyone can keep it all in check.

Sometimes, laughing it off is the best thing to do, though blocking their gamertag or reporting them is a step in the right direction.

Slimshadyn4826d ago (Edited 4826d ago )

Your right the world is full of ignorance and its impossible to keep it it all in check, but that doesn't mean Sony or MS shouldn't try their best to stop it. Look at World of Warcraft, you say anything like those messages and someone reports you, your gonna get banned.

You are right though, people should simply report them and laugh it off but unless you penalize the people sending those messages they will continue to send them.

SuicideShaun4825d ago

Only insecure people get angry at discrimination. The smart move on.

hazelamy4825d ago

the smart move on?
right, because ignoring discrimination will make it go away.
"apathy is a poor catalyst for change"

GodofSackboy4825d ago

Discrimination is hilarious. Why would anyone care, at all, if some random Indonesian sends you a message saying you're fat? The best thing to do is simply spam him back with more effective insults.

Mmmhmm--that's pretty much exactly what MLK's speech was about.

But getting angry at online gaming discrimination is a moot point. I don't play online games all that often due to that fact. I do wish there was something that showed up on a gamertag that let people know the person had been reported a certain number of times for being a douche. Like a scarlet D.

LycanSoldier4826d ago

A minority of the Gaming Community need a good kick to the balls.

Although that being said, knowing afew female gamers myself and having seen some of these messages first hand, these people who feel the need to go out their way to message girls are pretty funny.

Anyway, it's nothing to take to heart, there are plenty of idiots who hide behind being through a screen instead of face to face. That's life for ya.

DeFFeR4825d ago

Key word in your first sentence: minority.

The actions of few taint the reputations of the whole.

As much as I love xbox live (I don't mind the price, sorry - flame away) it's people like this guy who give people like me a bad name. My wife games with me every once and a while, and it's often 10 minutes into our games that she is unplugging her headset and I'm raging at teenaged retards. Yes, child, she has breasts. Yes she makes me lunch and dinner - but I make her lunch and dinner just as often.

It's not just XBL though, we encounter the same issues on PSN (less often - the percentage of people with mics is much much less on PSN vs XBL.) Honestly I don't think it's a matter of "younger" people on XBL/PSN, it's just the general loss of respect and manners via anonymous interactions with people.

TL;DR - The few idiots taint the reps of all of us.

SwampCroc4826d ago

that's what they get for sending creepy ass messages and shit.. I mean the video game industry is now making more money annually than the movie industry.... anybody and everyone is playing video games at this day in age, whether it is on consoles, PC, cell phones, portables, online, off-line, Tiger Electronic, Travel Scrabble....

it's just stupid... things like this make me wish I wasn't a human...

just let the girls, ladies, women, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, nieces.... play their games. just let them play...

they let us play....

ZombieAssassin4826d ago

It's usually just a bunch of little boys who haven't been able to get any so they talk trash to girl gamers whenever they come in-contact with them, I've seen it a million times and it's usually them just calling them sluts or whores.

"What do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes, nothing you haven't told her twice before"...yea i couldn't help it.

Stereotypes are funny if not too serious. But that's all they are stereotypes. Are all Irish drunks? Are all americans idiots? Etc. Some people just take them to far though.

I really hate when people trash talk over a mic like that though. You just know they would never do that offline. Pathetic.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger882d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH19h ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan17h ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
