I don't mean this in any insulting way, but the first paragraph is really naive. Have you played many big MMOs? In active, social guilds? You will find them almost everywhere. Maybe not many of them, but at least a few, and everybody will know their name and what they are.

And dude wtf. This has nothing to do with OP's priorities. Just because OP is used to a certain kind of bigot doesn't mean they think that bigot is better or less hurtful than another kind, it just means they're used to dealing with it. Call me lgbt slurs all you like, I'm used to that, but insult my race and it's my sore spot, that doesn't mean I think homophobes are better than racists. Maybe you should look at stopping your own snap judgments first.

"I don't mean to sound insulting" but you then insulted me. Look, just insult me and get it over with.

Yes. I have. I've played WoW, RO, and dabbled in a lot of Korean MMOs. Thanks for questioning my gaming.

Also I never said I thought they weren't real? I only acknowledged that I, personally never come across them so they seem a lot rarer than they apparently are. Also, I sometimes doubt people's claims sometimes because, guess what, I know a lot of sexist assholes so sometimes I can't tell if the girl really was a loser or if they're just being sexist.

I said the bigots were more hurtful than annoying players begging for gear. They are. Maybe you should gain reading comprehension.

I meant the naive part wasn't supposed to be insulting, and it wasn't supposed to be. I find it hard to believe you've never run into a "gamer girl" like this because while they're not as common as people like to get mad about, they're hardly rare enough to be entirely avoided in my experience.

Besides, if you get to doubt me, I get to doubt you, that's only fair.

Bigots are more hurtful but I see nothing from OP suggesting they are not. Pet peeves exist. Rage buttons exist. Rage level doesn't say anything about OP's priorities. Maybe they're so sick of bigots there's no reaction any more.

Well it was. Lucky you. :/

Doubt me all you like? I don't care? I made a small comment that I had such a different experience when I played MMOs. It wasn't a statement that I think they don't exist blah, blah, blah. So I don't see why we have a problem. We have different gaming experiences. End of story, no?

I get that and I think if something like that is making you rage and essentially care so much maybe you need to do something about it? Maybe it's just me but when I realize I'm getting mad over something incredibly stupid (Which happens 'cause let's just admit I can have a short fuse.) I try to change that? It makes me feel shame to put that much emotion and effort and caring into something trivial that I don't like. So I try to change my priorities and not care about it. Am I the only one who does this?

Also I want to apologize about the reading comprehension jibe. That was low of me and hypocritical.

Not everyone can do that is the thing, which is why I was pointing out that the rage = priorities thing shouldn't be a logical jump to make.

And you could have ended at "I've never seen one" without adding that you have a huge pile of doubt, which insinuates you believe everyone else in the thread is lying with their anecdotes. Which maybe you do, idk.

Considering I can only come from my own experience it seemed pretty logical to me. I think the problem is that we don't know what the OP can or can't do or if they've even attempted to get over it. Also, even if you can't do that isn't it something you're still making a priority? (I'm sincerely asking this because now I'm kinda fascinated.)

Eh, I was trying to be brief and didn't think people who get upset about it. Also, if I hadn't I wouldn't have been able to have this conversation with you. But if you really want the long ass explanation I doubt the people I used to play with because most were sexist assholes. Not all of them were, though, and I would trust them if they told me something like that. As for people I don't know, I don't doubt them like I would the sexist assholes but I'm much more likely to "wait and see" rather than just take them at their word. As for me doubting people in this thread, depends on how well I know the person, really. Trust in what someone has to say, whatever the topic is, is something that, for me, is always highly dependent on our previous interactions.

But that's long as fuck and not completely relevant to the secret. It's also really self-involved so I left it out.

The anon just left? Why? Like, the moment I calm down and want to talk they skedaddle. I almost feel like they were just here to insult me and then leave.

I hope you come back, whoever you are, because I'd still like to talk about this.

Just poking my head in to say that one, you are being insulting. And two, yes I've played MMOs and been in active guilds and active in the community and have yet to run into any of these types of players.

While of course there are always people in chat asking for free money or items, they've always been ignored as general trolls. I've never seen anyone try this whole "I'm a girl give me stuff!" routine that you and OP are talking about.

Oh, they exist.

I've seen it once in trade chat on WoW and even then I'm not entirely sure they weren't just trolling(and therefore unsure that they were a girl). But I play on the EU servers so I don't know if it happens more often on the US ones.
