Pretty sure most on this board recognize you as a smart person in the business more than they recognize you as female, mc. Maybe not the company you're with now, I initially think Activision, and up still a dev. You ain't the only one though.

I did not know MC was a developer. Then again, MC is now the third person on the board who I know what they do/did for a living. The other two being Comm's substitute teaching and Jakyl's former job at USPS.
And I guess I know SMuffin does something in the public sector or a government job or something. And I know there was another teacher on the board but I can't remember who atm. So clearly career is just even less important to me than gender. Though honestly I do fully admit that the fact that certain posters are female crosses my mind when I see them post or talk to them, but I think it seldom changes how I interact with them. -- (Maniac64 at work) Guns don't kill people, Kinder eggs do.

Here's a fun idea: play as a female character in an online game sometime. Games where someone has to play a female character (Left 4 Dead 1 or 2, etc.) do not count. Don't make any references to anything related to gender, do not voice chat, etc. Just see what happens.

People defending this trash need to realize that the messenger does matter. The girls who made that video are ugly attention whores who would fall into a deep depression if men weren't going after them every 5 minutes, and that's a fact. This speaks nothing of pretty much every girl being terrible at competitive games. If you've ever had a girl on your team in a MOBA, you know what I'm talking about.
This doesn't mean the guys who stalk girls with dumb sex messages are in the right, because they're not. They are disgusting, shallow morons. But the ones who stick to bashing them for sucking in games? Fair. And protip - guys trash guys who suck at games, too. If you don't want gender being an issue online, you probably shouldn't name yourself something like "Hot4EdwardSparkly69" and then whine about guys giving you attention later. It's like the girl who wears the low-cut shirt, then cries because some of the guys ogling her aren't attractive. If you don't dress like a whore, you won't get treated like one. Lastly, as a guy who has been with a LOT of girls, they love this type of attention and don't let them tell you otherwise. Girls also hate each other, and love nothing more than a guy telling them how ugly their best friend is. Any straight girl who tells you she hates attention from guys is using it as a defense mechanism because she thinks you're ugly and will never sleep with you. Sorry, it's true. -- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n231/sihp/waluigi.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: __Smurf__ | #066 I have played female characters in online games without making any reference to my gender, and ended up getting given free stuff, receiving larger shares of loot, and getting occasional PMs (which is more than the no PMs I get playing as a male character).

From: UItimaterializer | #063 I shouldn't have to tell you that this is a huge generalization. For the most part, it's true that if females are playing games like Starcraft, League of Legends, and Street Fighter, then they're not delivering or showing up to events because the amount of females sighted on stage in tournament play is closer to zero than it is to the double digits. But you have to ask why that is. Personally, I think it's a combination of lack of willingness to actually help them improve against opponents who care to win and tournaments in general being dominated by male competitors, so would-be female players feel isolated or are straight up shut down when they express interest in competing. In lower levels of play, though, only the former is important. -- I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: dethfdddddh | #071 have you really slept with enough women to create a representative sample of an entire gender because that's incredible Yep. Beta males > all other males. Women are genetically predispositioned to go for powerful men because they want powerful offspring. It's not hard to figure out how women think. What if an alpha has weak genes, though? Say, a rich guy with a low testosterone face; small nose, low cheekbones, weak chin, etc. In that case, a girl would do well by cuckolding him and breeding with a high testosterone male, letting her enjoy both the cuckold's resources and the genetically superior mate's genes. The "alpha with bad genes" might be an impossibility, though. Genes might determine which men fail and succeed financially. -- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. ...

From: UltimaterializerX | #074 ![]() From: __Smurf__ | #072 Well to continue with the Castlevania example, given that people are all on my ass about how much I suck and/or disconnecting from me as soon as possible when I'm sucking as Alucard or Soma or whatever, it does seem weird that suddenly I'm treated so nice as Charlotte. Could that be coincidence? Sure. But it'd be one hell of a coincidence. And as I said, in other online games, I've never been on the fortunate end of someone being nice or friendly as a male character, while occasionally as a female character I've been on the receiving end of people being exorbitantly nice and/or friendly. Not hard scientific evidence, but again, it's enough for me to believe it when other girls claim to get extra attention for not hiding their gender. -- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police http://i54.tinypic.com/eajnl2.gif ...

ill admit i dont focus on the b8 drama as much as most others here (ive been posting regularly here since about late 2005/early 2006, this is an alt due to a forgotten password).

but that's neither here nor there. she's not the one who made this video or has any relation to it. if your issue is with all people who have taken and distributed nudes of themselves at one point or another, fine, but there's not much reason to single her out just because she's mentioned as another person working in the industry. -- The King Wang.

dethfdddddh posted... Ulti does have science behind his statements about girl gamers. Girls generally have weaker spatial reasoning skills than guys, which likely translates into them not being as good as men at games. Err...for some tasks that might be true, but there's a second study you should see about spatial reasoning. Funny thing about the spatial reasoning difference: it literally goes away when you play 3D videogames; here's the scientific reference: http://pss.sagepub.com/content/18/10/850.abstract Which means females playing 3D games literally have the same level of spatial reasoning as males who play 3D games (and both of them destroy males who don't play games). So...think of it as having three genders: males, females, and gamers. For 3D spatial reasoning: gamers > males > females. Wanglicious posted...
