Current music:Mabel King: "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News"

Over at bad_service, [info]ikite laments bad service at video game stores--and her strained relationships with females:

I do not know if this is true, but I have heard that many females like to "fight for dominance/territory" with other females.

I have experienced this in many aspects of my life.. I am not a whore, I do not sleep around, but females tend to HATE me. I am so terrified of females that I make sure to never work with any or encounter any in life, but sometimes I have had to and ---nearly--- every last female I have EVER met *****(even my own mother and stepmother [who beat the shite out of me])***** has made it a point to go out of their way to make my life a living hell.

Now I do not know if this correlates with my encounters at EB Games and/or GameStop, but EVERY female I come into contact with at those stores is a BITCH. Feel what you want to feel, you know, but not when my fiance and I make a $120 and/or a $50 purchase at YOUR STORE, because we could easily go elsewhere. >O


[info]ikite goes on to describe two cases of bad service, where, first, she asked for a release date from an employee who didn't know, and, second, she was rudely informed that Gamestop was not hiring. Typical bad_service wank would find one party arguing that the OP is an "EB" and that the service was not bad, but this wank has one up on all the others:

[info]therikkster: ...Y'know, somehow i'm thinking you give off the misogynist-creep-EB vibes.

[info]therikkster seems convinced, through his/her own power of internets deduction and the second opinion of his/her friend, that [info]ikite is a creepy misogynist despite being a woman. [info]therikkster's second opinion causes [info]ikite to respond boldly, defending herself as the polite, hapless victim of a mass female conspiracy. Some people theorize that there is no mass female conspiracy, that the true cause of [info]ikite's feminine woes is...[info]ikite herself!

[info]kitashla pontificates: I love how people immediately assume that when almost everyone of a certain group is mean/evil/rude towards them that it's always the other groups fault. I mean, far be it for most people to do some logical and rational thinking and realize that it's terribly unlikely that the entire gender as a whole is flawed. That when the only constant in all of your experiences is YOU, the chances are damn good you are the cause.

As usual, [info]ikite defends herself, whipping out the common, "But I have done customer service! How can I be an EB?" defense, and as usual, people roll their eyes and accuse her of playing the victim.

Naturally, the rest of the comments that aren't accusing her of being misogynistic, confrontational and "playing the victim" wonder just WTF is going on here. And a misogynistic fun time was had by all!

ETA: Well, well! It appears the accusations of being a misogynist have driven [info]ikite to the edge. She has now disabled comments to her original post (caps, anyone?), posted a follow-up which has now been tagged for deletion.
