Honestly, I don't give a -blam!-. At all. And I'm not just referring to your pseudo-problem -- I'm talking about the genders of people on this forum. I couldn't give a -blam!- less about whether you're a girl or a guy. Considering I actually have a girlfriend and can get some (unlike the majority of this site's members), I feel no need to pay attention to your gender. But let me tell you this: You cause half of your "problems". Instead of coming on this site and giving yourself a beautiful and original name like "Halo Master", you call yourself <insert girl name> and make yourself famous (on this shitty forum) for your gender. You shouldn't be exploited because of your gender, but it's really not necessary to tell people that you're a girl. Beyond that, it's -blam!-ing retarded that you give these shit heads the opportunity to see what you look like, IRL. You're feeding them, yet you get pissed off. Am I angry or upset that you posted this? No. More importantly, I couldn't give a -blam!- less about this (as stated before). But you're really only causing more internet drama by making this. So congrats on that. And as for you calling this a shit-tier forum: You're so -blam!-ing wrong. This is absolutely a shitty forum, but if you compare it to virtually any other forum on the internet, I bet you'd far prefer being here. We have moderators and a community that actually shares shit in common and doesn't constantly talk about anime porn or Miley Cyrus. Yes, this is a shitty forum, but it's pretty -blam!-ing good compared to the rest.

    So you're saying I should adapt to the shitty community, rather than actually trying to fix the problem. You see, if people actually stood up, and attempted to make a change (even a slight one or bring it to attention) the world would be a much better place. Rolling over and adapting to a community with poor behavior and opinions is the easy thing to do, but not the right thing. Sometimes you need to call it out for what it is. It's people like yourself who think "Oh!! That girl got a feminine gamertag, she's clearly an attention whore!! Why didn't she just pretend to be a guy! She deserves to be harassed!" which is the problem with how the gaming community treats girls and how they think they should be treated. Why won't native american people pretend to be white to avoid racism? Why don't homosexuals pretend to be straight to avoid homophobic comments? I mean, isn't it MUCH easier to do these things? Yes, it is easier but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. "Felicia" is the name given to me at birth. Why can't I use it as a gamertag like some males use their own names as one, without automatically wanting attention. OMGZZZ I just realized you had ROB in your username!! You're such an attention whore. (Nice double standard, huh) Are you aware that most females like feminine things? Such as usernames? Hell, some of my accounts been called "toxic girl" and "tinkerbell" when I was only 10, but surely, I was looking for attention then too huh?

  • I'm not saying that you "deserve to be harassed". I'm saying that you're causing you're own problems when you know that there are assholes who will treat you like shit for no real reason. I'm not saying you should be happy with it, but what makes you think that a bunch of teen boys are going to change their ways because you told them they should? And just to clarify, I don't support what they're doing. But you're a part of a community that's based around the very people who treat you like shit. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. (PS, I didn't even read that last paragraph, because you're already missing my point.)

    [quote]I'm not saying that you "deserve to be harassed". I'm saying that you're causing you're own problems[/quote] Same thing. You're stating I'm causing my own "problems" because of things like using my name as my gamertag, so I deserve the harassment. It's my own "fault". Yes, I'm well aware that if I truly, genuinely wanted to be treated equal, I'd have to hide who I am, but I'm sorry, I don't think that's the right thing for me to do. However I promise you, if the "harassment" gets to the point I can't take it, I will make another account. I do get what you're saying, but I'm just trying to explain "hiding" who you are isn't what changes or improves things. [quote]I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.[/quote] I acknowledge that but I'm not going to accept it, sorry. EDIT: No, I have actually "accepted" it, but I don't think others should.

  • The thing is, I don't even oppose your ideal. If it was in reach to have everyone respect everyone without discrimination, I'd be 100% with you. But the fact of the matter is that your ideal is just that: An ideal. It can never be achieved (on this site, at least), and is why I don't care. But good luck to you anyway! ...
