Oh hey, sup. Enjoy your stay and stuff.

Also can we just refer to people by how many and what chromosomes they have instead of this gender or sex nonsense honestly.

STM 11-01-2012 06:05 AM

I don't see why it's a big deal, this 'hurr durr girls on the internet' bull shit is fucking boring. I know as many girls from the net as I do blokes, I think it's just that stereotype that the internet is reserved for sweaty neckbeards and insecure basement dwellers. Generally the people that bring it up are to be honest.

I wasn't stereotyping anything, I was just saying we don't have many on this forum.

Ridg3 11-01-2012 11:18 AM

It's only because I'm a sexual deviant and I scare all the vaj away through creepy PM's.

Nepsotic 11-01-2012 11:50 AM

Oh, I thought that was OANST.

STM 11-01-2012 12:03 PM

Actually it's me pretending to be OANST.

Ridg3 11-01-2012 12:27 PM

Shit. I logged into the wrong account by accident.

Mr. Bungle 11-01-2012 12:29 PM

We're all OANST.

Faggots.

STM 11-01-2012 01:31 PM

Well, OANST is inside all of us. There's a vital difference.

Nepsotic 11-01-2012 04:49 PM

Turns out Ridg3 is also STM.

Steamer_KING 11-01-2012 05:16 PM

People, PLEASE, focus on the topic here.






































So OANST is inside of us all, huh? That's comforting.

Dixanadu 11-01-2012 05:20 PM

He's inside us?

Is that why my bowels hurt?

Nepsotic 11-01-2012 05:26 PM

Must be why My bowels don't hurt.

Mr. Bungle 11-01-2012 06:16 PM

My bowels have been hurting for the past few days. Now they don't.

I see.

STM 11-01-2012 07:32 PM

Thanks for spelling it out guys.

Crashpunk 11-02-2012 07:40 AM

Welcome!

STM 11-02-2012 08:52 AM

Thanks.

Steamer_KING 11-02-2012 10:39 AM

All praise the OWNST!

Haruka 11-02-2012 10:59 AM

@Crashpunk

I know your YTP videos of Oddworld since a good while, they are awesome. :P

marlz 11-02-2012 06:44 PM

Hey Haruka. ^^
Why do I get the feeling I know you from somewhere... XD Just kidding, happy to have a familiar face on the forums.

Or even "female members"?

What about our females' members?

There's still prejudice around girl gamers, you know.

The only "prejudice" is oftentimes justified dislike of self-proclaimed "gamer" girls who don't actually know the first thing about videogames and just use it as a way to control weak-willed boys. Most actual female gamers don't make a big deal about it.

OANST 11-03-2012 08:16 AM

Thank you, Strike Cunt. I wouldn't have said it as nicely.

T-nex 11-03-2012 11:11 AM

Pos rep for Strike Witch! :)

OANST 11-03-2012 11:15 AM

You guys are always getting her name wrong.

Those girls probably name themselves incorrectly as gamers just because they grabbed Farmville and played Singstar on PS3. Meh.

I knew a 'girl gamer' who used to be in my guild in WoW. When I moved up to Glasgow, I became close friends with her boyfriend and my God she was a hateful little shit.

Phylum 11-03-2012 10:18 PM

I don't mind casual girls who refer to themselves as games half as much as the ones who are actually gamers to the point where their entire personality hinges on it. The ones who are just really bad stereotypes that wouldn't even exist if they didn't try so hard.

And therefore...?

It's anecdotal. It doesn't need to have a point.

Nate 11-04-2012 02:51 AM

It just seemed like an odd thing to bring up in this conversation.

The main thing to realise here is that this statement applies to both genders.

Phylum 11-04-2012 03:41 AM

Definitely, but I find the female gamer stereotype is more annoying when exaggerated.

He likes talking about himself. You been living in a cave or something?

Wings of Fire 11-04-2012 09:16 AM

Yeah, Nate!

Nate 11-05-2012 02:18 AM

Going back to the girl-gamer thing, there seems to be a trend on gay dating sites of guys describing themselves as being a 'nerd'/'geek' when they really mean 'dirty hipster'. Or possible 'Super gay and likes Glee'.

Strike Witch 11-05-2012 02:20 AM

That happens. There's levels of everything.

Go on facebook and search for the term "I'm such a nerd" sometime.

Anyone who "names" themselves a "gamer": Faggot.

T-nex 11-05-2012 10:52 AM

I know a hipster girl(shes pure, stereotypical hipster... As in.. She calls everything swag, pretends shes a gangster, likes odd shit just to be cool), that once told me: Im so jealous of the fact that you know how to play games. I wish I was a gamer, because then when people ask me what Im up to, I can be cool and say "I'm gaming". I mean that's so cool!

I just smiled nervously... But really though x_x I kinda lost the last bit of respect I had for her.. Jeez...
