Whoring attention in game just because you are girl is the most retarded and silliest thing ever. They should think twice before naming profile or character like "gamergurl69" or "CoDGirl".
THIS ^. 70% of girls i met ingame were exactly like that, and the moment you refuse to be her little pawn she gets all offended and starts crying.

They are just being so damn sensitive, i've already seen a girl "gamer" reporting someone because he told her to shut up.

RE: Halo 4 permaban for sexism

@Kman How many men get raped? How many are sexually harassed in public? How many men earn less money than their female colleagues? How many men get beaten and brutally murdered because they want to choose who to marry? How many men are humiliated through pornography? How many men prostitute themselves? How many men can't go to a forum or chat without receiving rape threats?

@Deep One Sure, have fun being a male chauvinist.

Thousands of men are sexually assaulted, but instead of being told that they were asking for it like female victims, they are told that they should have liked that violation, that it's no big deal, that they shouldn't be complaining. The only reason spousal abuse numbers show women on the receiving end is because if a man revealed that he had been abused by his wife he would be shamed and ignored.

You can't compare the systematic oppresion of women that has been oing on for millenias to the fairly recent and incredibly rare sexual harassment of men.

Wtf, where did that come from? I'm a male chauvinist because I don't appreciate attention whores? (LISTEN: I'm not talking about normal gamers)

RE: Halo 4 permaban for sexism

You don't seem to have problem with male attention whores, and you hate female ones due to the fact that they are female.

RE: Halo 4 permaban for sexism

The thing that most people here don't understand is that replies like "Men are target of sexism too!" in these kinds of debates are pointless, because they belong in another debate. Feminism fight for the rights of women and that's what they do, and male rights groups fight for the rights of men. We can't tackle both sides in a debate that's angled towards the feminist point of view. Of course the issue exist, as a feminist I can see that and I can agree with that, but it has no place in a feminist debate that is obviously feminist. Because it's two different things. This thread is angled towards female issues and should be treated as such. Want to discuss sexism in general, go ahead but please keep your flamewars to yourselves.

I also like how this thread turned from 'sexism and gender issues in gaming culture' to 'MEN HAVE ISSUES TOO! NO THEY DOOON'T!' thread, and it's disappointing. Please keep it classy guys.

We were talking about female ones in games, right? But yeah, male attention whores IRL can be even worse.
