I'm guessing he wouldn't, based on some random flaw in her bedroom decor or something. He usually goes for the crazier type, and she seems pretty normal, just lonely.

The hate will cleanse your soul, my child.

It's because there's no other hobby you can declare that pays off so quickly.

"Hey, I'm a girl sports fan."
"So is every other woman in the bar, sit down, game's on."

"I'm a lady who'se into classic cars."
"I'f you're hot enough, maybe someone will offer you a ride in their '69 Stringray. Drive it? Fuck no, do you have any idea what this is worth?"

"Hey gamestop shoppers, I'm a GRRRRL Gamer! I even have a triforce tramp stamp!"
"OHMYGAWD pleeeease be my girlfriend or waifu. You're so talented and smart and amazing. Can I buy you a game right now? You should totally be my amazing girlfriend, you'll never have to pay for games again."

So many "grrl gamers", ESPECIALLY ones who play MMOs, are so used to this kind of attention they start to feel like something's wrong when they don't get it.

I don't know who I hate more, girls like this or the enablers.

You should hate the "enablers", because they pre-date the girls and caused this whole thing to be a thing. I mean, when I created a female character in EQ in 1999, it was pretty much non-stop guys coming up to "help" me or to offer me gifts, and asking me creepy A/S/L-type questions (or worse!), which lead of a lot of awkwardness when I said "I'm a guy!" as half of them had some kind of brain meltdown and the others tried to pretend they would have helped me/given me the stuff anyway (having played male characters previously, I knew this was BS). And that was 1999 and it's only become more ingrained since. It's not like these girls originally set out to be like this, it's that guys give them massive positive feedback for doing it. Most of them seem to be pretty young, and I think we were all pretty stupid at that age, and tend to do stupid things when the other gender seems impressed by it.

As an adult with a life, might I suggest that you hate neither the girls or the enablers but promptly forget about both groups of people as soon as they fall out of your locus of attention?

Don't listen to notascientist. Keep right on doing what you're doing, and be sure to tell us about it. Please, tell us about it in detail.

Might I suggest you release a video series describing your adventures as a woman in EQ?

Huh. I had no idea enablers existed. All I ever got growing up was a bunch of "whatever, loser" stares or "yeah... that's nice" comments. Then I just stopped telling people I played video games altogether.

But yeah, fuck fraudulent female fad gamers and anyone that desperate for a girlfriend.

I don't know what that means.

i understood.

no, we can't eat her heart for her youth.

Didn't you hear? Dead Kennedys posters are the new wall space fillers for teenagers. It used to be hendrix and zepplin but now they have these at hot topic

She looks like my brother. And the Dead Kennedys are considered hip dad rock these days.
