If there is anything I hate in the world it's people who think they are better than someone else for some arbitrary reason. Gamer Girls exhibit this in quantities that rival that of hipsters, something I never though possible, until I became better acquainted with the nightmare of Gamer Girls. You see, Gamer Girls operate on the same frequency as normal bitchy girls, but instead of turning their bitchiness towards a boyfriend, they feel the need to exert it on everyone they come across in a video game. The Gamer Girl will continually gripe and moan about how she's hit on in a video game or treated differently in a video game just because she is a girl. However, when she kills a boy she will whip up a one man shitstorm and start bashing on the guy that just got killed by a girl. What a motherfucking double standard. Then they go on to gloat and rant about how they are a girl who plays "video games" (as I hardly consider Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, etc. video games) only to bitch even more when they are called out on being a girl.
This atrocity began around 2001 with the release of the x-box. My theory behind the reason that the X-Box began this relies on two factors: 1) The X-Box was the first American video game console thus it was marketed specifically to Americans... the adrenaline junky, overly competitive, xenophobic ones that refused to buy a Japanese system. and 2) It was the first system with integrated online support, thus the genesis of games made solely for the online modes *coughcoughhalocallofdutygearsofwarcoughcough*. With this came the archetype that everyone outside of it hates: The adrenaline junky who thinks he's a legitimate gamer. It only made sense that such a widely encompassing archetype would eventually include both sexes.

I'm not a proponent of sexual discrimination when it comes to video games, the thought that girls should only play "girl games" and leave the FPS to the "men". I think that EVERYONE who plays these games regularly have some problem and need to go out and purchase a brain. They are really just sheep mindlessly being herded to the next game in the series without thinking, following the trend because "video games are cool now".
That's enough angry ranting for now. Now it's time for me to make myself happy again, and talk about the true Female Gamers, the Holy Grails. The Holy Grails can trace their lineage back to the days of the genesis of male gamers, back to the beginning. The True Female Gamers, they enjoy the thinking mans' games. They enjoy RPGs, RTSs, certain fighting games, retro games (true retro games, not fucking PSX), pen and paper RPGs, they enjoy TRUE ROLE PLAYING, none of this Oblivion bullshit. They are called the Holy Grail because, for one reason or another, there aren't many of them at all. The older games and the prospect of Role Playing doesn't really appeal to women as much as it does to men. So if any of you true gamers, you thinking men, you masters of the BlazBlue, you Final Fantasyholics, you Dungeon Masters or Dungeon Delvers, you LARPers ever happen upon one of these rare specimens realize this: You have hit the jackpot with this, you'll most likely never find one again. Treat them right, treat them like they wanted to be treated, like a gamer, just like you.
That's all for today guys. Cheers,
