The catty complaint in World of Warcraft

I have an admission to make. Female gamers piss me off.

“But, FG, you’re female, how can they piss you off? Isn’t there some sort of gamer sisterhood?”

Yes, that’s true to some degree. And, don’t get me wrong, there’s a bunch of decent women in-game, some of whom I very much consider my friends (and in this example, I’m talking WoW). However, they’re usually the “play the game, keep their head down, may acknowledge to being a woman, but it isn’t something they play up” variety.

No, the women I’m talking about are the ones who purposefully and repeatedly bash it into your head they’re female. Whether they’re flirting or making crude comments every chance they get via guild chat or whisper, they highlight their femininity and sexuality every opportunity. Their sole purpose in game it seems is to have every guy wrapped around their finger…

I don’t know, if that’s your intention wouldn’t you be better served on a dating site (this dating site in particular, www.datecraft.com ) or live Web cam?

PS- Great. All the strides I’ve made trying to fine-tune the embedded ads to my blog just went out the window with this post…
