girl, /ignored

[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.

It's people like you who give the Barrens a bad name.

The auction stuff made me lol, kudos to that.

This so obviously shows how females act.

But you still need to somehow get the "Last edited by Frybread" removed to fool people

[Runned]

Fry had to edit it because girls can't spell

[Naolin]

Great fun, I should lame the neutral auction house more, not like I have a good rep on my server to start with.

ain't that the truth?

[Kooter]

The comment about spilling milk on your boobs makes you lose credibility, even if you are a girl.

Aw, so that's where to use Bottomfeeder If only you had posted this last week.

You're an idiot.

[Shatter]

bottomfeeder got deemed a 3rd party program... how ftl is that?

I remember real girls... They smell nice.

[Shatter]

lies

This just confirms everything I knew about women - except the tampon up the bum bit (lol'd at work and got funny stares) - is that true by the way??

[SeiferTim]

My fiancé plays WoW - we both have level 60 characters waiting for the expansion, and a ton of lower level alts. We were in a SM Pug last night together, and she spent the whole time yelling across the room at me when we weren't pulling efficiently enough. She's hardcore.

[Shatter]

minky: Sow r u a chik? Eff sow tyty pik plx kek?

This is by FAR the funniest thing I've seen on this site.

I lolled and rofled till coffee came out my nose (yes, i've learned how to that now!)

Pure genius!

ddnb

"Believe it or not, I am a girl."

And, from that picture, you're hot!

So you are a girl now, but you were really born a man, right?

tampon in the butt eh?

[Bloodybloodblood]

I don't exactly know what to make of this post. Parts of it (The "Shopping" section, mostly) had me rolling. But others (pretty much the whole "I'm a girl" thing) made me confused. If it's all an elaborate joke, then it's borderline genius, but some of the comments really are on the verge of being just...wierd.

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".

I think it's more that people think that if they argue with you enough that you are not a girl that you will be forced to prove it to them and send them pics of your jubblies to prove you indeed have a vagina.

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.

[Lesson25]

So, true story: whenever someone alludes to the fact they are a girl in a public channel, I immediately respond w/ a "zomg ur a girl IRL?? a/s/l?". The funny thing part is, I don't do it b/c I am actually interested; I do it b/c reaffirming someone is female & implying they might be available in front of a bunch of horny boys is like dropping chum in shark-infested waters. I even do it--scratch that, I ESPECIALLY do it--when its a friend I already know for a fact is female.

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...)

[Kooter]

Making girls /gquit is serious business

Lesson25, I approve of your message.

[Ripperjack]

I'm sick to death of real girls who happen to play games, go on and make a big EMO melodrama about it with posts such at this. It is this sort of "Oh woe is thee, Oh who is thee, LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" posts that make me want to puke.

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.

[dermien]

I've seen hotter girls with "14 words" as their interests then gamer girls, get real Ripperjack.

prissy, frigid, cock-teases? ... "incident acts"? ...I don't even know what that means.

i can't imagine why they wouldn't like you, you're obviously a very eloquent and open minded guy. you certainly don't have any lingering 'high school rejection' issues you're dealing with, and seem like you want to share a common ground with the opposite sex.

good luck out there!

This thread is serious business, perhaps even more serious than a rhino charging your ass.

It's two stories rolled in to one. The first part is weird because it's a parody of a horrible escapist magazine article. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/17/27

No don't ruin it for the people who know this is serious business!

[isobelle]

i can't decide what's better about the escapist... huge pointless jpegs (zomg, i almost thought i was looking at actual magazine pages on the internet for a second there!), the fact that each 'page' has only about 3 paragraphs on it before you need to switch to the next 'page' (which is likely a full ad spread), or the highfalutin writers there that feel like they're writing pieces for the new yorker.

Cool contribution! Kinda makes me believe you are actually a girl :P Nah, I believe you. Especcialy the guys/boys in the start of the post who need pics to believe you are a tad sad. But, ok, I can understand them for not instantly believing you in a world full of fake females...

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

I've heard plenty of guys talking on /general about the size of their penis, don't worry. I do think that the mina cause of the problem is males pretending to be girls, though. They ruin in for the the others, especialy female gamers.

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.

[Poistiant]

I'm totally outraged atm.

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.
