Until I hear a womans voice in voicechat, I refuse to belive that the female characters in dust are anything but digital drag-queens.  |

Squad up with me and my trustees sometime. I for one enjoy short and clear-cut intel over smacktalk and bullshit when a battle is on (im a bit of a military-buff so radio discipline is sacred to me).
Idle chatter should be reserved for in between matches and on the warbarge. Never in the field. |

That's what i was saying with to many men on one team,squad,or corp it leads to rageing yelling and over all bad game play. That's why girls make the best leaders on shooting games because they stay calm in the fire it evens out the team and maybe its just me but i don't like hanging out with dudes 24/7. Another reason why ladies might choose to stay silent in game... The assumption that girls can't play video games, and being told to " Get back in the kitchen, and make a sandwich. ". On one hand gamers ask for girls to play, and on the other chide them for doing so.
So... You're saying that girls need babying and for all the guys to hold their hand to be able to play videogames? Isn't that an even more sexist view?
Personally I don't give a crap about gender in gaming. I don't sit around wishing for more girls to play (that sounds more like the behaviour of a teenaged virgin boy who secretly wishes to find a woman to **** through gaming in tyst typically convoluted teenager way), but I don't actively try to exclude them either.
And frankly that old bit about "getting back in the kitchen" is hardly a genuine view most users of it have. It's just a ***** test, to see if the reciever is gonna act like a crybaby or if she's gonna talk back like she's got a pair (figuratively that is).
This is pretty common in testosterone fuelled male culture. Guys tend to tell eachother A LOT more demeaning and humiliating things as a part of the jargong than they ever say to a girl who wants in.
Girls can't go around expecting to get politely invited in to a male dominated enviroment, and expect to be treated with the utmost civility and good manners. If you want in a group of men engaging in their pefered hobby, sport, game or whatever you have to MUSCLE in and claim space. Demand respect without giving in to the provocative tests by spinning them around and sending them right back.
And I for one am a firm believer that girls are perfectly capable of doing that (some of my best friends, acquaintances and lovers are women who've proven capable of such feats). But they didn't learn it from some "good guy" who offered to hold their hand and who cried out for all other "insensitive men" to "behave themselves". |

Your assumption is incorrect. Mine was just an opinion about, one of the many reasons why, what could drive them to chd not to speak up more often.
You're right gender in gaming doesn't matter. It's the game that everyone came to play together F+Śr r, not ) that does, and enjoying yourself. We all log on to kick back, and have fun! Regardless of our play style, or skill level.
That " old bit " might happen more often than you'd think, in all seriousness. I know several ladies who are excellent gamers, and have a pair. Figuratively speaking, of course. They expect you to be yourself.
" Politely invited "? Wouldn't that statement be accurately assessed as sexist? They were well aware of the fact that they were stepping into a testosterone driven environment when they chose to begin gaming, at least the ones I can account for.
I've never known any individual to learn anything because it was easy. Life is hard.
No it's not sexist. Im just saying that if you're "turned off" by multiplayer videogaming because you think that other players are "rude" or didn't "make you feel more welcome", then I don't really care what gender you are because I won't feel sorry to see you go.
For some reason though, it seems women are a more inclined to cite such reasons when they don't want to play multiplayer videogames. I don't care to speculate why it seems to be more common among women than men (there's probably a buttload of theories about that out there already, with varyint degrees of credibility), it's just an observation I've made and found that many people tend to agree with due to similar observations of their own. |
