Mmm, Halo wank!
Attention all girl gamers! schroe would like you to know that YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL!!!:

You're a girl who plays games? Fantastic. That doesn't give you a reason to press your breasts in everyone's faces.

...Look, if you're girl gamer, great, I'm happy for you, I am, too. It does not make you so special that it can be the only content, or the focus of your post. It does not give you the right to assume that men want to have sex with you the moment you say you're female. If does not give you the right to thrust your gender into everyone's faces. This is the internet, land of anonimity, the moment you announce yourself as a specific label, you're giving yourself up to stereotypes. Please stop being GIRL gamers and just be GAMERS.

Sadly, she's disabled comments on the post, which limits the wank potential but probably makes her more inherently wanky. This was apparently in response to a post last night on the Red vs Blue lj community advertising a community for girl Halo players. The post has since been deleted, so I've no idea what the comm was or what the precise wording was. But you can enjoy an earlier post that began, "i'm a girl who loves halo and rvb. you may now pick up your jaws" where schroe and others partake in, er, "spirited debate" about gender and videogames.

Fun for all! Especially, y'know, all those girl gamers who go around smashing their breasts in everyone's faces. How come I've never met one?

(Edited because I realized Schroe's actually a girl. Whoops.)

Because the label of "gamers" is much less stereotypical than the label of "girl".

Glad to have that cleared up.

I can't help thinking that someone is reading that and thinking, "They're pressing their breasts in people's faces? Where can i get a piece of that action?"

I'm a girl gamer! *Flashes boobs*.

*joins [info]oxydosic in boobie flash*

I can't believe this. I mean, honestly. Remember that one wank that had a guy saying, "The day a girl sprains her wrist on a bad Tekken 2 stick ..." That had me pissed off too.

Gah, people are asshats. This is why I don't run around screaming, "Look at me, I'm so fierce, I'm a girl gamer!" with said boob-face-meeting.

Breasts in everybody's face? Girl gamers do that? Well that would explain why my little sister is so popular with guys...that or it's just because she's hot.

I play DDR, can I start doing some breast shoving too? It sounds fun.

call me old and out of touch but back in my day if you dared admit that you were a "gamer" you were scorned for being a loser with a capital L and big frackin' OOOser. A status being associated with the pastey-faced nerds who wasted lovely summer days in the dank recesses of their parents' basements.

When did it become ubercool to sit around in your house all day and widen your butt playing video games? What about the ever growing rate of childhood and adolescent obesity?

Of course, I say this while sitting at a computer.HOWEVER! my butt is already wide and there is no more hope for me.

Save the yoots!!!!

Tip: You can deactivate the 'breast in face' mode on your girl gamer when you press 'select' and then options / moves / special combos [none] / save.

If you don't have that option available, make yourself familiar with the [avert face] parry move. All experienced gamers can tell you that it works better than the [rant] counter move.

I'd say playing topless to significantly impede your opponent in a good old fashioned game of DDR is plenty reason, though, right? I'm shameless enough to make good use of my jubblies.

<.< Okay, I'm only shameless enough to do that when drunk.

So wait, I shouldn't say I'm female because it gives some sexist asshole a reason to treat me the way he treats all women?

Well, would you look at that? This lady's logic forms a big round circle!

Oh yes it does. It helps me win at Tekken.

And besides, it works both ways. If a guy flashed his wanger at me I'd be distracted enough for him to win, as well.

I, too, would like to know where they're dredging up all these annoying GRRL G4MURZ, with all the breast-in-face action. Because when I go to Game Crazy, all I ever do is mock the guy I saw last week in EB who was bitching that Bill Gates is EVIL, therefore the X-Box inherently sucks.

The most women I ever see around video games are moms buying Pokemon for their kids. The other grrls must hate me. ;_;
