I'm not seeing a freakout. I'm seeing kids acting like kids. Is there something I missed?

Did you read the second thread? It's funny because this feminist website went off the deep end over it.

Oh, I just read the cached page. It's just internet drama. We see that here every day. I'm not sure what people expect of the gaming sub culture. Of course there's gonna be some misogyny, and you'll almost definitely get questioned if you're gonna make a post as a female, saying you want to start a female clan. Everything I saw was pretty mild, and not worth writing a blog entry over it.

I've never seen a feminist website take something like that so seriously, even linking to the thread. That's why it's funny. I'm not sure you read the feminist site link based on this post.

lol yea.

i just find these folks tiresome. i play mostly shooters but still when i've been in games with a chick on the headset i've not heard this sexism these folks are constantly harping about. I mean really maybe 1 out of 200 times will anything happen at all.. i don't even remember the last issue. more likely some dickwad will mic spam or some 8 year old will annoy everyone with his voice rather than some sexual harrassment. But these feminist sites like to claim that its an epidemic..always.
