I never quite understood the point of feminism until I registered here on Gamespot. For a while it was quite cool being one of the rare female members, and sneaking around the offtopic forums reading funny boyish posts, kind of felt like I was infiltrating some sort of boys club. BUT DUDE. Once the topic of "OMG girls posting on gamespot" came along, I went crazy.

Let me point this out loud and clear:

Girls sometimes like games.

That does not mean they're ugly.

That does not mean they're socially awkward.

That does not mean they're bad gamers.

I've said this before and I feel like I need to say it again. I am most likely better looking, better gamer, and more socially adapted than more than half of you, and I do feel offended by this sort of thing. If you don't really care about anything I wrote here, look at it this way: If you continue to treat women like they're aliens who can't keep a conversation about anything other than clothes and tampons, you will drive them all to lesbianism and the world will end. THAT MEANS YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE SEX.

P.S: Of course it's not every male person in here who annoys me, I've made good friends here. This is meant for the jerks out there. Haven't you ever felt the need to cry out for something that's bothering you even if you know you won't be able to fix it?

First, i am insulted by your claim that half of us here are ugly. You yourself are making baseless arguments or stereotypes, the very thing you are complaining about. Second, welcome to a society where the majority of gamers have been and continue to be male. It's just the nature of the beast, it's how males act. Get use to it.

No, it's called OT so the Mods can lure people here to post anything they want then suspend them for spamming.

You needed to sign up for a video game website to understand feminism? Wow.

For a while it was quite cool being one of the rare female members, and sneaking around the offtopic forums reading funny boyish posts, kind of felt like I was infiltrating some sort of boys club. BUT DUDE. Once the topic of "OMG girls posting on gamespot" came along, I went crazy.Licazinha

How does anyone read this paragraph without laughing? Are you serious? This is an internet forum, where on any forum most of the people are male. That is just the way it is.

I doubt most people who make posts like that actually believe what they are saying, most of the guys here just like to joke.

this post... was... well meaningless, in every way.... And next to that you do nothing to persuade anyone, stop anyone, or insult anyone. That was, actually one of the most pathetic posts I have ever read, well done....:|
