Re: Funny SJW stories?

[personal profile] ariakas 2014-09-01 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know that women wanting to be in their own clan to avoid harassment is so much "SJW" as it is a depressing reflection of the tenor a lot of online gaming communities have toward female players.

I've been in exactly the inverse situation of you: waaaay back in ye olden days of Enemy Territory the clan I joined refused to be believe I was female, and repeated references to boyfriends/hot dudes/dicks got me (jokingly, I hope) referred to as "the gay one". When I finally got the chance to tell the leader "no for real though, I'm a girl" he responded that there was "no way" that was true, because I was "too good" to be a girl. Then insinuated that I was pretending to be a girl on the internet to get off.

"Too nice" to be a man or "too good" to be a girl? The former might be sexist bias, but it's likely bias due to the horrible experiences a lot of women have had playing MP. The latter I sincerely doubt came from repeated bad experiences with female players, since there were literally none (at least outwardly) aside from me on our server. It was just straight up garden variety misogyny.
