Came across the site Fat, Ugly or Slutty via Pharyngula, like FSTDT and failbook it's a repository of internet stupidity. This time from male gamers who are reacting in a sportsmanlike, non assholish, misogynistic, creepy, bawling sore loser-ish way to merely having to share space with folks whose genitals are a different shape to theirs. This from a guy who lost at BlackOps: Read and facepalm if you dare!

When she was nine and I was six, my cousin turned the beating of classic platformers into a work of true art that I am unable to duplicate even now.
Back then, I simply watched her play as I was unable to come close to her skill level.

Sadly, I've run into some of these people a few times in my gaming experiences. One guy even quit the match because we had a girl on our team. Which I found amusing because she was one of the highest scorers on either team in the match.

Does it make me a bad person if I laughed at some of those comments? I don't know, I just find other people's stupidity and intolerance funny.

This is why I'm a single player gamer only. For me, gaming is an escape from shit I don't want to deal with, including morons.

Wow, that's kind of depressing.
I bet these same guys then go on to complain about how girls won't date them because they happen to play video games.

I know someone who complains about girls not dating him and such when his avatars are all borderline pornographic anime pantyshots and huge tits. Honestly, seeing stuff like that makes me feel kind of ashamed to be male-bodied and using a female avatar for most things.

Kinda makes me want to crotchkick these dicks until they're speaking on a wavelength so high that only bats and dogs can hear them.

I actually know the peeps who started that site. It makes me so sad that men boys can't behave and think the internet means they can be dicks to women.

I've actually had that happen to me. Now, if you've heard my voice before, you know what my voice sounds like. Not very feminine, if ya ask me.
I've actually been called female and hit on before... Some people just do NOT know what a woman sounds like...

I'm thankful I haven't seen anything like this in my gaming experiences. I've played very few games online because, like Art said, I don't really have any interest in dealing with morons when I'm trying to enjoy myself.

Luckily, I've never really encountered stuff this bad directly, either. I don't use voice chat in games, and despite my feminine gamer handle, people just never seem to pick up on it unless they're flat out told.
