It’s fun seeing an obvious transphobic remark that the writer of this post is completely oblivious to.

UGH THIS SLUT-SHAMING NEEDS TO END. Just a few points, because it’s gone 2 AM and fuck writing the same essay another time:
- “Slut” is a meaningless, misogynistic slur meant to shame women and only women for their sex lives, which are none of your business.
- The nerd community is rife with misogyny.
- This is a bullshit pseudo-standard only applied to female gamers, never to men.
- Why can’t a girl who plays video games both like to deprive themselves of sleep to save Hyrule AND make sexy pictures with controllers if they choose? God forbid a woman like being sexy or have multiple facets to her personality. Oh the humanity. /s
- It shouldn’t surprise anyone that some women wanting to fit into the nerd community sexualize themselves, considering how oversexualized women generally are in games, anime, and comics. Especially now that science has proven that all people regardless of gender view women in sexy outfits as objects and not people.
- Even if a woman is just a “poser” of a gamer or whatever, it is not your goddamn problem.
The idea of the “gamer girl” and “not a gamer girl” is a false and ridiculous dichotomy that allows men to dictate what a gamer “is” and “isn’t” to women. In this dichotomy, cis men are allowed to be casual gamers and hardcore gamers without being reprimanded of the quality of their gaming, while cis women can only be hardcore gamers and are chastised for being casual gamers because they are then accused of having ulterior motives to game other than just enjoying gaming. Of course, even when women are hardcore gamers, they still are likely to experience gaming harassment from men despite their skills or interests.

How about we also poke at “Gamer GIRL” the simple fact that we use the term ‘girl’ still to refer to adult women also means that in the eyes of gamers that women can never ‘grow up’ never be an adult and that they should always be treated like children. It adds to the misogyny there.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent easter egg. One of the best I’ve seen (or at least longest). Apparently the developers themselves had to spill the beans on it since no one ever found it otherwise.
