I read [H]ardForum all the time for reviews and opinions on the best tech you can get. Thanks to them in fact I went with things such as the Logitech G500 and the ATH-AD700 headset. When it comes to hardware these guys know their stuff. Then occasionally these threads take place.
They’re discussing this article about “making room for women in gaming” and whenever these articles take place they begin to think with their heads… not their heads.
In their mind, women are treated equally in gaming and are never ever targeted any differently. Plus women are just pansies because they demand equality with more benefits. Here’s an example:
Part of the problem is the GIFT (Greater Internet F-ckwad Theory)–some people are exceptionally nasty online and express themselves in ways that resonate very negatively with females. That is, what passes for normal trash-talk among males, e.g. “Imma rape you with this BFG9000 and shove it up your ass,” isn’t received the same way by female gamers.
I don’t think that’s the rape ladies are bothered with… rather I think they’re bothered with the ones that yell something along the lines of “they’ll come find where they live”, or instantly turn it into an open sex chat because after all… all women are whores. But that’s ok, using the logic in the thread I’m sure guys like to have voice chat sex in game all the time too.
Oh well. Good thing women don’t read [H]ardForum. 🙂
