- NGliam, on 10/11/2007, -8/+57We're not all attention whores! Here, I'll tell you about my life to prove it.
- marchaos, on 10/11/2007, -10/+49As a girl gamer I'm both a slut and an attention whore, but that's only when I'm playing Tomb Raider.
- Kelgann, on 10/11/2007, -9/+47You know the rule -- ***** or GTFO.
- AcePup, on 10/11/2007, -10/+47Excuse me I happen to like the "slut" she is referring to with the controllers covering her nipples and gaming stuff around her. As Paris Hilton would say "That's Hot"!
Picture I'm referring to in her article: http://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/zoomgamerconsolegirls1.jpg - smoothmedia, on 10/11/2007, -12/+39I read this title and immediately said out loud "Yes you are"
- maduin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+32If you're over the age of 25, you've learned by now that all girls are sluts, all guys are sluts too, everyone is pretty slutty, it's just that girls are taught to hide it.
- GunOfTheMartyr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27Okay, allow me to say this.Who gives a flying ***** about girl gamers? Yeah, you're chicks, you game. Good for you. I don't care. Okay, you're hot, that's always good. I don't care. Bottom line, 99% of us that aren't these fat, sweaty nerds don't give a rat's ass that chicks game. If I kick ass, I'm gonna kick ass indiscriminately. If I get my ass kicked, I get my ass kicked indiscriminately. Get my ass kicked by a chick? Well played, you're beat me. Next round?
To summarize: Who gives a ***** that chicks game? Gamers are gamers, leave it alone. - ps3udov3ctor, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18"We're not all attention whores!" Some of us are just drama queens.
- Echuta, on 10/11/2007, -6/+19True, 99% does not make "All".
- levid666, on 10/11/2007, -7/+19we dont see too many pictures of ugly male actors do we? hell.. or even ugly male sports figures. The ugly 'good' ones are hidden to catch the ball.
- JasonCox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Buried because she's obviously an attention whore.
- GvnMcCld, on 10/11/2007, -6/+18"Hot female _______" fill in the blank with any industry really, and why complain?
- phezz, on 10/11/2007, -13/+24The rant was only 1380 words. How is this not being an Attention whore?
- jandeloo, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14I haven't met any fellow female gamers who aren't territorial or catty toward other girls yet :( I've even been banned by a female-admin just for being another girl player - they seem instantly putoff when I join their server, as they've *claimed* it.
I know that's a bitchy generalization (ha), but it is still frustrating, as I'd like nothing more than a female friend who has similar interests, doesn't use a handle like ~*PriNcEsS FloWerZ*~ and isn't playing under their brothers/boyfriends account.
Sorry this is off-topic but I had to get that out there! I feel better now. - Brenky, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Why the hell do girls feel the need to announce it to the world that they are gamers? They're just god-damned games, who cares if the player is male or female?
- KyleMistry, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11The problem isn't the clan members' looks, it's their gender. Yes, I said it. And it's the damn truth; by starting female-only clans or groups, they're being just as selective as any other elitist "male-only" group.
Can't there just be CLANS? Why must there be FEMALE-only or MALE-only clans? Sounds like a lot of elitist bull, if you ask me. - uberspace, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14Its nice to have a mix of different types of women within the gaming industry. Although, due to our culture and the way we display things in the media, the "Hot Female Gamers" will be the ones that show up in the photos more so then the middle-of-the-road female gamer.
- canewediggit, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10i can't believe i'm doing this twice.......
read the comments posted before yours or GTFO - stonewaljacksn, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13NOBODY CARES.
buried as ***** retarded. - knulpm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Hmm, a contradictory, rambling, and pointless complain fest.
Not really shattering any stereotypes about women here, are we? - nakichiam, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Girl gamers aren't attention whore until they decided to blog something like this.
I'm a girl, I game for fun but heck, I won't blog something like this just to prove I'm not an attention whore. - PurePwnstar, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15Sapphire FTW! Gamer girls should be getting by on their skills and not their looks, last time I checked most of the "famous" male pro gamers are all pretty average looking, so their skill has been what brought them to the limelight. Though I'd be remiss if I didn't admit I'd like a slutty gamer girl of my own, I can realise that this is just a fantasy and I can recognise female gamers for what they are and not for their jiggly bits.
We need more girl gamers like Sapphire and less Paris Hilton style girl gamers. - Yage2006, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Girls not attention whores ?
Buried inaccurate
:) - Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9
Listen... the only way this is going to be settled is with a 1vs1 deathmatch of an agreed apon FPS.
Destro Blog Girl versus PMS Rant Girl.
That or they should just make out over web cam.
Either way, this needs to be settled once and for all. - canewediggit, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8read the comments posted before yours or GTFO
- firedrillduckie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Coming from a girl, who doesn't consider herself a gamer, but does play and enjoy video games (though she's God Awful at first person shooters):
I think the gamer girls should stop trying to justify themselves. They're just ...digging... themselves a hole, not to mention crawling inside, and burying themselves afterwards. - interSomething, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Maybe you've been playing with a lot of female gamers, and you just haven't realized it, because not every girl is obnoxiously flaunting their gender like that. That's the case with a lot of players, I've found.
- pEEpiNgtoM, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9"Who cares if PMS Athena and her twin sister PMS Athena Twin are hot enough to bring boys down in their own puddle of drool?"
1. Seen em, they actually live somewhat close to me, and i can say, yes they may make some guys drool, but i personally don't, average at best.
2. They crave the attention just as much as any other girl, seen it in front of my own eyes
3. PMS is terrible at they game they are most popular for (Halo2). They may be good compared to other girls, but they are worse than an average random team of average male players, case closed - TheSack, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12need to see pics of the chick who wrote the story before I make a final judgement
- emanggid, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14If you ask me, the whole "gaming industry" is predominantly male *driven*, and *stereotypically* male.
That being said, naturally us guys want to project our vision of women when we see them in this culture. That being a really hot slut, of course.
So as us geeks get stereotyped as weak, white, and nerdy, so shall girls being hot to trot awesome gaming whores. - mandarin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12Well if you're paid to be a gamer, attention-whoring is just a skill.
- jandeloo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8@ interSomething
*****, you are probably right, which leaves me in a vicious cycle of not being able to identify the cool ones! Damn you, Princess Flowerz. - mstrike, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Sapphire is a hypocrite. She took ***** naked pics on her webcam, I used to ***** have them.
- MatttK, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8If I've learned anything from these last two gamer girl "articles", it's that gamer girls can't write good articles.
- Azimuth1, on 10/11/2007, -8/+14"Who cares if PMS Athena and her twin sister PMS Athena Twin are hot enough to bring boys down in their own puddle of drool?"
If you don't want to be considered to be a slutty attention whore whose only positive attribute is her looks, maybe you should try not to talk like one. - sfpfc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11I was playing Phantasy Star Online (dreamcast game) and I asked for items for my new character. I lied and said I was a female and this guy kept following me to every game I joined (he could track me), So then I quit playing for a week and just focused on other things and then when I logged on and he began chatting with me, I just lied and said I'm sorry I just bought this game on Ebay a few days ago and I don't know who you are.
- mandarin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10well theres kevin federline....
- Osjpr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7It's an established fact that groups of young girls growing up fight for attention and popularity. There is no denying it girls. Exceptions don't disprove the rule.
- ch1x0r3r, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Agreed. Some of these chicks give themselves too much credit to think that most guys actually give a *****.
- mizzrym, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5How many of these articles are we going to keep seeing. Dead horse much. We get it.
- BlackStar77, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10'PMS'
Even the clan's name is sexist :/ - xpose, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Is she gonna show us her ***** or what?
- bobcrotch, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Well if you haven't figured it out by now they like this attention, it was an untapped virtual attention gold mine, now it's just as lame as everything else stupid girls do for attention.
- vwvwvw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Earth to bitter girl, slutty girls get more attention. It has nothing to do with gaming.
- ph33rpwn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6By writing this article, the author just made herself an attention whore.
- VBShadow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Yes they are. Buried as inaccurate.
- Lister169, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I remember when I was an attention-pimp...
- tpv2066, on 10/11/2007, -2/+515? Hell my 4yr old cousin was showing his package to his little female posse the other day and got caught. Tis a strange world we live in.
- Mega64, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Based on the reactions to this article, Digg is full of the most misogynistic, immature, pig-headed boys on the Internet.
I love you guys. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@ nikkilai
You're a slutty gaming attention whore, so this article excludes you. -
