Aaah yes. The things people say when they lose. Especially to a girl. *foam foam foam*Aerosteam 1908 said:*snip snip snap*
Zachary Amaranth said:Oh? Well, how presumptuous of me. Here was me, taking your pessimistic and 'long since given up' approach as some sort of acquiescence to the neurotic trolls that are part of a very loud, noisome, aggrieving portion of online media. You'll have to forgive, I'm all but asking, but I had assumed one to take advantage of a thought that perhaps said nuisances are not the only portion, and that perhaps, for the discerning individual who has much a taste for specified company, one might come to find entire communities of reasonably-minded individuals of varying ages that feel obscenity and vulgarity to give a sort of piquancy to one's emphatic speech, but, like any chef might advise, a plate full of such culinary complements would tend to sour a meal, much as a well placed discourtesy can give pungency to a match, but a headset filled with them gives one earache and a desire to cease the activity.BehattedWanderer said:Are you sure you're even addressing the right person? Because I cannot think of any way you could have drawn the conclusion that I wanted them or was defending them in the first place.Zachary Amaranth said:Tell you what--you can keep your neurotic, swear-obsessed children, I'll take my fun with the guys and girls who can speak in a reasonable octave without resorting to a sentence with a higher obscenity density than a terrible rap album. Cheers!
In short, address what I say, please and thank you.
In choosing such discerning conversationalists, however, in regards to the original question posed, I treat them with the civility deserving of a person electing to use their understanding of linguistic structures to further the emphasis delivered of a swear, regardless of their gender. That I sought out such people rather than sit idle and accept my fate, and would presume others might have a similarly inclined line of thinking, or that the player on the opposite end of an electron stream might have any different inclinations does not cross my mind. If they decide to declare that they are in fact of the female persuasion, of the fairer sex, of the estrogen counterpart to the testosterone in me, I give it almost no mind. I note it much as one might note a change in a colleague's hair--that it might be interesting for a moment, but quite soon is put from the mind, for other matters to take priority. Not personally knowing the vast majority of reasonable players, and in truth caring very little if they are anything short of human, let alone a member of either gender, I treat them all equally, for to assume that someone might be different has no use but self aggrandizing yourself or deprecating the person in question, neither of which being things I regularly deign to participate in, unless I'm chatting with either a particularly attractive person or dealing with an entitled, pompous prick respectively.
I do hope I've addressed what you have written. Let us not imagine that you are yet further misled by plain statements.
Lol if they are stupid enough to type that then they deserve to be hunted down. You could swap 'girl' for anything else and people would just deliberately you kill you over and over. xDCyberjester said:If it's a competitive game I'll sometimes hunt them down less? Usually do that to all noobs though.
If it's the usual "I'm a girl so you should go easy on me"
Wait a second...to get this straight, you are confused or offended because a kid you've never met was rude to a person who doesn't exist and that you were pretending to be, on the Internet? Right, I don't think it's precisely a very fair or even reasonable test and hardly an accurate sociological or psychological study. You're not a woman, you were a pink avatar who shot their avatars.Aerosteam 1908 said:...on Halo: Reach I made my character female with white and pink armour (make fun of me if you want). I played a couple of matches in multiplayer and then joined some recent players in their open custom games.
I eventually joined a custom game with only 2 players, ...After a couple of minutes me killing them over and over again, the little kid started saying things like "Go to the kitchen where you belong", etc.
I never contacted them after that, until EXACTLY a month later, (with messages only appearing in your inbox a maximum of 30 days) the little kid, I had met 1 month earlier, sent me a friend request.
I was in a "What the f*ck?" moment, me finding out someone who made offensive comments to a (pretend) girl ...
Do you mean you're to scared to pretend to be a girl at school, or to talk to girls? If the latter, you'll get over it. You're a teenager, it's part of the process to be shy and awkward as you figure out who you are. If you don't or can't talk to girls at all, even as equals in class then you'll be in trouble later. You need to get over that as it's the very thing women don't want. The only circumstance where a shy, tortured man has a hope is if he's a painter, musician or poet.Aerosteam 1908 said:but unfortunately I'm to scared to do the same thing at school as I what I do online. -sigh-
You do realise, that if she's complaining about you seeing her as one of the guys it's because she wants you to see her as a woman, and there's only one reason a woman wants that... just a heads up. ;PSherlock/ said:In IRL tabletop roleplay I've played with girls for years, with no bias either way. Aaand now I got the complaint from one of them that I "see her as one of the guys". Sometimes you just can't win.
Basically this... If they're on my team they better pull their weight, and if they're against me then they can expect a high caliber kiss from me the same as anyone else.Daystar Clarion said:I treat girls in games the same as boys.
That is to say, another soul to be ground beneath my heel!
