nerdboyxxx Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hahaha thats a load of crap what people say, I know heaps of girls that play online games, and quite a few who play Runescape too. Those people who say those things are usually the 10-12 year old's who don't believe anything you tell them. When I was around that age group I didn't really believe any girls played either. Then you actually get out there and realise :D I think it's this mentality that the current gaming market is targeted towards adolescent males. Sure, the games have "guns" and "violence" and "10 year olds swearing at you on Xbox live if you play Halo 3" but it's simply not the case. I find it quite sad actually :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandycat0 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I dont really pay attention to whether its a guy or girl on runescape, but i think that there are four main reasons why some people think there are no girls in runescape (i dont mean everyone on runescape is like this, just many of the people who think girls are nonexistant) Reasons: 1. guys try and hit on girls because they often dont have a social life and their only chance is on runescape, or they think theyre being funny/cool 2. girls use guy characters to avoid said annoying/creepy people 3. guys use girl characters to get hit on and get free items, or to play a joke 4. all the people that think there are no girls on runescape are stupid RIP Chuck Schuldiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDT Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well that's ironic. The OP uses a provocative thread title to get a desired reaction - i.e. general thread views. The thread itself is focusing on the obviously facetious contention that there are 'no wimmin on teh interwebz' - used primarily to obtain a reaction - this is what is referred to as 'trolling'. If you've ever visited any of the *chans and have been appalled at what you thought was genuine racism, sexism and general hatred there, your doin it rong. Yes. There are girls on the internet. Anyone who denies this is, if nothing else, ignoring basic probability. Because around 90% (perhaps slightly generous?) of intarwebz users are not this unintelligent, I seriously doubt these genuine replies you mention are in any way frequent. Most people are in fact aware that women make up ~50% of the Earth's human population, and therefore women are probably going to be found anywhere one happens to be. Now, if my post wasn't the reaction you were hoping for, I'm sorry. However, you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that girl gamers are not special or unique, and therefore ranting about alleged sexism will generate a (usually unposted, for obvious reasons) reply of "yes, and...?". To conclude, "girl powah", "hear me roar" and "boys are stupid, throw rocks at them". Because whether or not you wish to acknowledge it, that's what you wanted to hear. P.S: Runescape is not a reliable cultural indicator for anything in any circumstance ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etta Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm female and i'm a alcoholic Runescaper; however i always use a male character for graphical as well as player-player reasons. I do find if you have a female character, you get treated alot nicer opposed to the mass insults i deal with every day for being a 'failed account'. I turned my character female for a day once, and i got asked out 4 times. It's quite sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneh Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I tried being female on rs. The name k3nny12 gives it away that i was a guy tho. Failed plan. Girls get more free st00f, FACT. In seriousness, got a few friends who are girls, and unless they have went to extreme lengths like stealing someones identity , they really are girls, and then theres musky.

meili Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Actually I have noticed a difference to player's attitudes when I play on a low level female char.

Lilcutiepie Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have no idea what the RS community is like nowadays.. but im assuming a lot more girls actually play this game now O.o. I know in the time that i was most active.. the ratio of girl to guy was literally 2:8 lol. Not a lot of girl was willing to sit on their butt to train for months and months.. there were just a lot less to do back then. Now tons of quests.. tons of skills... the game has become a lot more attractive to the female population :P. In fact, I logged on for the first time in years..and.. i was surprised by the hair style selection lol. Lilcutiepie RSC 1192001-2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkmutt Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 All Girls are 40 year old men and all children are FBI agents. :shock: :o So true.

Plugpoint Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, I mean the most obvious question raised here is why do you have a computer in the kitchen? I lolled. But seriously, I'm typing this from the touchscreen on my toaster. I personally think you don't need to go out of your way to prove that you're a girl; if they don't believe that you're a girl, then whatever. At least you're still a girl irl. ^This. I know it's frustrating, but just start talking to yourself and they soon leave you alone. Failing that, the ignore list is your friend.

lazlazor Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Meili, I'm not reading this thread - just going to reply to your original post. Here's a little truth that I think you're missing. As one chick to another, you need to be grateful that these idiotic boys have somewhere to hide so they're not unleashed on females in the real world. We're much safer and comfortable as long as they're inside locked away playing with their little imaginary friends. Your mistake was by repeatedly trying to enter the IRC. If you get a message like that on the outset - then why on earth would you continually try to make contact with jackasses like those guys? When something like that happens - don't start whining about it on the forums. Just be thankful that you had the good fortune to find out that the guys who you thought you wanted to play with are just total morons who will never get closer to a woman than they got to you. They gave you a tremendous gift. The knowledge that they're immature, pathetic excuses for male-type human beings. Just say, "Thank you for letting me know you're an [wagon]" and walk away with a smile. *edited to spell your name a little closer to correct :P* *and to add a note to lilcutiepie - same here - finally we have some styles that are a touch closer to human hair lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0rkZ0r Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 This type of stuff only happens with the less mature players..I personally have several women friends in RuneScape.

At least you're up front about it and made your name Dorkzor so we know right off the bat not to talk to you :) Thanks! That's very sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
