I have experienced many discord conversations with a small group of thirsty beta males. It’s very…entertaining.
I didn’t read all the comments but some ppl here claiming they’re woman and have never experienced this? Um, okay.
One woman said those bois poor behavior was your fault? I think I read?! Um, okay…
I have experienced many times what you’re saying.
I’ll be honest. I like men better than woman generally tho. Besides beta bois that are… I can’t say that word. In general, to me, men are more chill, I like the way they argue better (lol), ect. Most of my friends have always been guys. I know there are nice woman in WoW, duh. But, in the game, ladies can be quit cruel too.
But man, a lot of men can’t seem to handle woman that might know more or are better… the horror
gotta stroke the c…
ego…
I know many female players who are amazing at this game… I’m not talking about a healer (so many woman are healers lol) getting soft core carried in 15-20 keys rn or 1800 rating. Not saying that’s bad at all. but, I’m talking … amazing. There are woman who pretend to be men, not talk in discord, ect. because a lot of guys do get their ego cards stroked the wrong way or just creep hardcore. Is it this way for all woman? I’m sure its not. I know many woman who have experienced this time and time again though.
OP, eventually you get a little older and hopefully a little wiser and it really does become entertaining. Because certain behaviors like that will never stop. You learn to troll them right back and mess with them
I feel like you aren’t doing as good a job as you think you are. Granted there are a lot of creeps out there, both men and women… but if you’re a healer and people are dying all around you…
Id argue that depends entirely on the guild, ive been in horrible guilds in the past but the one I am in is great and inclusive. As soon as someone jokingly said I like traps they were shot down and it was explained why trap was considered offensive to some.
While I don’t doubt this happens… the vast majority of interactions I witness are entirely appropriate…
If this is happening repeatedly… maybe find different friends? Or try to figure out if you could be doing something to encourage it. After all, the common denominator to this situation is you. And no… not all male gamers act like creeps around girls. I’d say the vast majority of them are completely normal. Hell most of the gamers I meet are married and have children…
Ehem, I mean. That sucks OP. Yeah, people really need to chill, I’ve heard crazy stories from friends. This reminded me to that day I complimented the mog of a Draenei and her worgen friend inmediately whispered me saying “She’s mine.”
People really get crazy for girls, even if this thread can or not be a troll thread, I’ve seen things.
some guys think that literally any mention of your sex/race/orientation is aTtenTiOn sEeKiNg, because you’re supposed to conceal your presence like a sad nerd in middle school trying to hide in the corner so the bullies wont pick on him.
It’s hit or miss for me. Most men are polite and just want to game but every once in awhile you’ll get stuff like the kitchen jokes, “Go make meh a sammich.” in Overwatch I hear that stuff, my usual reply is, “You’re not worthy of my sandwiches.”
I mean… it’s the internet, you can literally ignore them. Which I do…then move on with my gaming life
That is what you call a ses pool guild. I’ve played in many high ranking guilds and zero of them disrespected, or made any girl feel ackward. Infact the girls said they feel better around guys than around other girls. Creepy guys and creepy girls exist, it isn’t one gender specific. You found yourself in a group probably of 20 year old virgins, that’s all.
People respond like this because there are attention seeking females out there. Take OverWatch for example, a girl was complaining that everytime she logged on she was verbally harassed. Having played over 3000 games on OW and about 300 of them having at least 1 girl or more in them, I can honestly say that amount of fs given that a female was in the game was 0. One time I remember someone saying show us your ‘b’ and the other guys said that’s not cool. So 1 in 300 games.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, there are some unlucky people out there, but just as there are people out there there are also people who make stuff up, make it seem worse and are purely drama queens. So that is why people tend to give these girls a lip. I tend to not say anything, but in WoW I have raided with tons of girls and nobody said a single rude or disrespectful thing to them, and i’ve been playing since Vanilla.
I’ve had a few inappropriate whispers in 15 years of playing, but that’s about it. I will also say…oh…granny thanks you. Hee hee. Plus, it’s true and i am a grandma…no one wants to hit on a granny. lol
So only attention seeking females speak like this? Aight. I’m sure there is ladies who do act however they act for attention. I am not one or some of my friends either. What if a girl is hot and fun?! And that is just her. Raw & Real. I’ve seen it happen to so many ladies irl and in games who are like this. But, w/e
I sometimes pretend to be a dude because I like to have fun and goof off and it does draw attention. I know many woman who have experienced what I am talking about and I have gamed since I was a child. But, aight. because u haven’t experienced it since vanilla it must be true.
You clearly didn’t read what I wrote but alright. Also that is a dangerous game to play flirting with guys when you have no real intention of seeking them. That’s more often bound to end in confusion and problems.
. I wouldn’t mind some free carries but alas I am but a man.
