Nobody at my school played D&D to my knowledge either, the result of which is that I'm only just starting to play it now, at age 25. I wish my high school geek friends had been geekier!

That's funny - I seem to remember being a female gamer long before 2006-2007 :/ I'm not sure why whoever made the picture seems to think that 'women' are all some sort of collective hive-mind, though. Seems like someone had a few insecurities to work out, yet.

>hockeyd13 Because I'm sure the same females turned around and started claiming to like videogames (and honestly, even if some did, they could geniunely have discovered what they were missing). It couldn't possibly be other females who liked videogames saying that last part (you know, cause all females are the same,…

That must have been rough. I was born in '88, but I can't say I faced the same crap. For one, I didn't really evolve into a gamer till I was a bit older. I played computer games when I was a kid, sure, but it's not like you really had multiplayer too much, lol. My parents supported me playing games like AOE and…

Watch the video? "We've both been ridiculed for our hobbies... Be supportive. We're on the same side." So, yeah, none of these stereotypes are appreciated, thanks.

Heh, you're talking to a proud member of the TAY board, which is basically the friendliest place on the internet. Feel free to check it out, but please leave your cynicism at the door. We're not fond of killjoys who can't get along.

Is this entire comment thread for real? Are people seriously saying "god this picture is so true because I was bullied in school"? Boys and girls are both bullied in school. It's, like, an incredibly alienating time to be alive. That sucks. I remember it, and I'm sorry to anyone else who experienced that. What also…

It's not realistic because you're not willing to give it a chance. Which, again, causes the problem you're wanting to avoid.

try being a girl gamer born in 1987. made fun of my entire childhood for being a geek, and now accused of faking said geekiness in order to attract males or seem interesting.

Here's a hint: you probably weren't picked on for liking video games. There were probably some other factors involved.

Also, I'm not sure if you were aware of this, but every woman is not an outlet for your leftover insecurities from high school. Get over it and learn to treat other people as people.

Why do you think we aren't on the same team? I got shit on by mean people of both genders during my teen years for liking video games; the problem is mean people, not one gender or the other.

Yeah, I was shit on by girls in my teen years too. I was also shit on by guys, for the same reason. It doesn't give me (or you) the right to shit on anybody else now, especially since we're (presumably) adults.

*according to self pitying guys on the internet.

Am I the only male gamer/geek/fanboy/trekie/jedi/whatever who doesn't give a shit if girls are gamers, geeks, fangirls, trekies or jedis? I know plenty of nerdy girls and they are much more awesome to hang out with than some non-gamer/geek/fangirl/trekie/jedi/whatever girl. Personally I much rather prefer their…

I was just going to post that! Come on Hamilton, show ToxicBunnies some love!

What about the video posted above made you think that this was a relevant image to post?

That is quite possibly the stupidest picture I have ever seen in my life

I don't care who you are, I just want a useful teammate or a good opponent.

If I were still a single guy (thankfully married), I would be overjoyed to have a girl show an interest in something I am interested in. That's how you socialize. Why in the name of all that is evil and dirty would you turn away the chance to hang out with groups of women who want to do, and say, and talk about the…
