I dont know if the DAT ASS argument is sexist but it's just so completely alien to me. I don't understand the logic. It'd be like if I played Mass Effect and romanced Jacob over and over again so I could watch Jacob's abs ripple as he takes Shepard into his arms oh god
i don't know i guess apparently some guys actually do find those video game figures attractive

I can't get an erection unless I've viewing a chick's wireframe.

guh if even The Cat doesn't agree with me, I guess I better drop it
but i am doing so under protest
I spoke to my cat and she agrees with you.
But my cat also told me to "bring her back some fucking milk and not that filthy green cap shit like last time, I want 100% whole milk you filthy human."
I have way more of a problem with the number of posts along the lines of 'I'm a dude and I use a female avatar to con other dudes out their phat lootz' because god damn, assholes, way to make it even more difficult to be a female on the internet.
There's an officer in my WoW guild who describes himself as a 'machoist' with pride. (Which isn't even a goddamned word!) He demands that he give me free loot, gear, crafting materials...
For months on end I would say "Seriously, no, what are you doing, charge me for that, I'm tipping you, what are you doing."
Finally he threw a temper tantrum saying that I hated him and he was just trying to be nice and he cried on Vent and everyone chided me for being mean.
Now I take the free stuff and now everyone chides me for taking free stuff.
YOU CAN'T WIN.
I gave a girl in my old guild free stuff once because I was overflowing with it. Might have been enchanting mats or something, and she wigged out on me about the whole pandering to females thing like you brought up. Like, completely forgetting that I often give away free stuff to guildies. I still don't know what sparked that, but shit was I pissed.
Oh no this dude was blatantly giving me free shit because I was a woman. This actual exchange happened once:
Sexist Guy: Oh nice I got a 200 world drop.
Guy: Can I buy that from you for my alt?
Sexist Guy: IDK...
Me: Oh cool I'd like that.
Sexist Guy: YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR FREE!! After all, I believe in respecting ladies.

hahaha, that aspect I hadn't really been able to articulate, nice work :P
Its kind of like having pinups on your wall, isn't it. Can mean you're prone to objectification, but not necessarily. There's probably a bunch of crap in there about the male gaze and women as the sex class to unpack, but the hell with it. Its after midnight.

See, that's a weird form of actual discrimination. Maybe. It's taking the whole "women are the fairer sex" thing to a far end of the spectrum. I'd be interested to see how he treats women in real life when it comes to property and money and stuff like that.

Hey hey, if I can't get away with the "It's late and I'm tired' excuse neither can you, missy.
The OP of that thread really seems committed to his chosen internet stereotype. The guy who got infracted was, of course, justly punished. But he was bang on the money.
Would you like the OP to get infracted instead?

He basically believes women should be stay at home mothers and men should be the bread winner.
He's also told other people in the guild that he is going to convert me to Christianity and by extension his views on gender relations because he wants to hang out with me in heaven and would be sad if I was burning in hell instead.

It's really something.
It's just affirmative action, Cass. Before the women's suffrage movement, and women's rights in general became an important thing, women were routinely given substandard WoW loot and rejected from PUGs on account of being "a woman." I mean, how many pick up groups do you think women were allowed to participate in back in the early 1800s? How many could scrounge up enough loot to sell and save up for their epic mounts?

Okay see, you lost me here. The reason you lost me is because he's clearly fucking crazy. He's not sexist, or discriminatory. He's just fucking loony.
Yea Arbuthnot I think that guy is either very crazy or just that really dumb guy that bought everything his parents/pastor told him and can't fathom it not being true. It's kinda hard to get mad at the latter.
i hold doors equally for everyone (old guy or young woman) but there is certainly a different tone in my bearing
hell even with an older woman i guess
like, i smile at the women but the dudes i just give the head nod
is that bad
the cat, bare my soul
how can this be bad
i treat women and men differently for no discernible reason
well, i mean i guess the reason is that it seems like an ingrained cultural sensibility
but beyond that, i don't know
i could at least rationalize it if i were planning to segue the big smile (and sometimes verbal greeting) into flirting... but i notice i do it with all women regardless of any potential 'interest'
it just seems like a pointless delineation for me to make but i do it pretty automatically

For being creepy? You'd be infracting dudes all day long if that was a rule.

The default male Shepard is the best Shepard.
i'm only doin it for the blue alien ass
I spoke to my cat and she agrees with you.
But my cat also told me to "bring her back some fucking milk and not that filthy green cap shit like last time, I want 100% whole milk you filthy human."
Also, I don't even have a cat.

Attraction to women is so gay.
Hey now.
It's not creepy at all that I play as a tiny midget girl with pink hair. At all.
Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
he wants to find out
Mmmmm

No kidding. It was almost hard to finish it.

11:50 is before midnight. It might be after the previous midnight but it's before the nearest.
