girl, /ignored
Posted December 5th, 2006 by Minkyboodle
Believe it or not, I am a girl. That might be a little strange to you, MALE, since you’re reading this on the internet, but it’s true that I’m an internet user (now officially a contributor) and get this: I play games too. I’m not talking Freecell or Minesweeper, I play real games. Heard of a little program called Counterstrike, or maybe the computer disc titled World of Warcraft? That’s right, I’m a real gamer. Surprised much? You should be, because next time you question if I’m a girl, I will own you - just like your gender used to legally own mine.
Men, I mean boys (they are all the same maturity level) on the internet find it so hard to believe that I’m a girl. Take for example this excerpt of actual guild chat,
[Minkyboodle] hey guys, sorry im late I was busy shopping for bras
[boy2] ur a girl??
[boy1] PICS
[Minkyboodle] hehe
[boy1] c'mon. you're not a girl if u don't show us pics.
[Minkyboodle] I am a girl.
[boy2] then show us a pic.
[Minkyboodle] no.
[boy1] Minkyboodle is probably a guy using a voice thing cuz she won't show a pic.
[boy1] i feel dum for sending her items now
[boy2] ya, there are no girls on the intarweb.
[boy1] so SHUT UP MINKYBOODLE
That’s pretty much the herstory of my internet life. Everyone keeps telling me I’m not a girl, even though I am. Is it so hard to believe that a girl can play a video game? Why do you need picture proof, are you trying to sexualize this issue? I am girl and I just want to have fun.
[Minkyboodle] hehe boys you have to hear this, I spilled milk on my boobs and my cat is trying to lick it off! ^_^
[boy2] omg, r u a girl??
[boy2] omg pics, now.
[Minkyboodle] hehe I don’t think I have any pics rated PG ~_~
[boy2] just post ur pics
[boy3] PROVE IT MINKY
[boy1] no way minky is a girl
Why doesn’t anyone believe I’m a girl? I’m a GIRL DAMNIT! A REAL IN LIFE GIRL!! They keep saying I’m a boy, it’s like they’re denying my existence. I just want everyone to know I’m here. I’m real. And I’m more than just a character, there’s a person behind that screen and that person, I’m proud to say, is a girl!
I decided to let The Barrens know who the real girl was (which was me, I am a real girl)
I kept telling everyone I was a girl, but either they “pretended” not to care (which is a boy’s immature way of saying he loves me) or they just wouldn’t believe me!
Some other girls started to speak up,
and I got them to be on my side with a little “girl” humor. Boys, don’t even bother reading you won’t get it!
Nobody would believe me, and I left The Barrens feeling like an idiot. After playing WoW for 5 years (including beta) nobody has ever believed that I’m a girl. I tried to fit in and play like all my friends do, I PvP’ed to exalted in 2 out of 3 battlegrounds, I raided until I got a set of purples, but still all my guildmates and groupmates told me I’m a boy.
Since I couldn’t convince them I’m a girl by playing their way, I had to find my own way to play the WoW computer disc. From that point on, I did what I wanted:
SHOPPING!
I don’t know where you other girls find bargains, but I’ve found that the neutral auction house has purple items for as low as 1 copper! You have to hurry though, as they tend to sell fast.
Purple plate special.
Most of the items were from people with strange names, who would put them up for sale at like 3AM! What a weird time of day to play, they must be from out of town.
You have to wake up early and stand in line if you want the real bargains.
After buying out all of these strange-named peoples items (there were over 100 items posted by them in 20 minutes) their manager logged on and killed me over and over. That’s sure no way to treat a customer! They killed me for about 6 hours, every time I’d log back on, he or another strange-named guy would be stab me in the face
.
How do I know he’s the manager? I asked!
I wasn’t even looking at the screen, but a few minutes later I saw this. Pakavyanda was in the middle of cursing me out for buying items when I bought some more.
Man, look at these bargains, what more can a girl want?
Some guy named Mussafry was putting up thousands of Runecloth and I was buying them all, but this dude was trying to buy them too (he is a line cutter).
Just for kicks I tried shopping on the roleplaying server. The people there are nice.
And someone finally believed that I’m a girl IRL! He really believed me!
If people were nice like Sceptor I would help them out.
(CENSORED)
Now that everyone believes I’m a girl, I have much more confidence. I don’t even have to buy items for 1 copper anymore, boys just give them to me.

The auction stuff made me lol, kudos to that.
But you still need to somehow get the "Last edited by Frybread" removed to fool people
-Gritz
I lolled and rofled till coffee came out my nose (yes, i've learned how to that now!)
Pure genius!

And, from that picture, you're hot!
Overall, pretty good though. I have known a few girlies that play WoW, and have confirmed, in real life, that they are, in fact, very much females.
Do people really think that with 7 million+ subscribers, only guys play WoW? Or even use the internet? If so, I am deeply, deeply afraid for the future of "tha intarweb".
Pretty funny read. Maybe I will buy another copy of WoW and use game cards to make some massive cash bottomfeedin it up. It sounds like a master plan to me!
But yeah this article is fairly weird, if it is in jest then I can dig it, if not then I am perplexed, you really set back the female movement a few years not that I care.
Girls plus online equals fun, girls demanding recognition for their online existence equals attention whore.
The best was when it happened once in MC general chat; that plus a inter-guild quarrel prompted said female to /gquit. (Although I did feel bad the next day...)
Lesson25, I approve of your message.
OK... so you're a girl, you play games, fine... you don't have to make a whole episode of the Bold and Beautiful about it.
Also, these sorts of girls remind me of the prissy, frigid, cock-teases you see in high school. You know the ones, that run around with their assets bulging from their tight little tops. Who make flirty advances and like to be looked at, but woe is the guy who actually tries to hit one up. Then all sorts of accusations of sexual harassment, rape and incident acts are slandered upon the hapless guy who succumbed to the sirens call.
If you want to play the game, leave your IRL gender at the login screen. I mean this is MEANT to be a role-playing game after all.
If you want a gamer guy to phuck, might I suggest www.okcupid.com, and put "gamer girl" and "warcraft" in your interests.
BTW... I have a "love/hate" relationship with gamer girls. I love them and they hate me... go figure.
good luck out there!

You do like to lay it on thick, though... All the comments are a tad sexually tinted. You don't constantly have to discuss you boobs or whatever, imho. It's not like a dude instantly talkes about his big brute bludgeon of love anytime, anywhere in response to anything. I've seldomly opened a conversation by saying something like: "Oi, I was in the toilet, funniest thing happened, had my wang out and suddenly the toilet seat crashed down on top of it!" (Seems kinda impossible too, but hey, example).
Conclusion, I think it's cool you're a girl, I like girls (and their compulsory body parts), but I think you don't have to force your femalehood everytime, everywhere through sexual remarks.
Keep up the cool posting
Fun / interesting read though, i've never tried going to neutral AH at night to catch all the nice transferred items there. I am going to try that tonight
Keep on writing! We want more.
I wonder if any actually got that reference.
Also, let's keep in mind that Notaddicted.com is a serious gaming website that would never jeopardize its credibility through satirical articles or sarcastic remarks.
btw, send pics of it, or it didnt happen
NA staff keep it up, this site is more entertaining then any other MMO based site.
Of course, you have to admit that you love being a girl in a guy world. Love the attention, the surprise, something. But you love that this is a big deal. It's fun for you.
That's cool, as long as people understand that we're talking about fun not outrage at what goes on. The "milk on boobs" comment shows that - you have to expect a response from that one! (By the way, I love that comment!!)
I don't get the rhino reference though
I don't get the rhino reference though
ready for you.
j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u.
bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure.
j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go.
j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck.
bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my
breeding territory.
j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.
j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to
charge your ass.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic
symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide
and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in
the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now.
"cat licking milk off my boobs". sheesh.
3 girls in my regular raiding girls, my wife inc. noone's ever doubted them, because most women IMHO don't log into wow and say "sorry Im late, I was shopping for bras" - or are you one of those people that thinks too much info just is never enough?
and anyway. WoW for 5 years inc beta? Beta started in 2004. Fail maths much? Perhaps you need to teach your cat to count for you, instead of pretending it's licking your breasts.
