This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Quote from: Jackalope;223261Yeah dude, my game is why 80% of the people playing RPGs are men.

That makes tons of sense.
No, you and your game are the reason you've had bad experiences with women at the table.

Seriously, was it that hard to understand?

Actually, I'm afraid I didn't realise we disagreed on stuff, possibly as I tend to associate you more with the roleplaying threads.  Which this, most decidedly, is not.
Hmmm, maybe I'm misremembering.  I thought we had radical disagreements on gameplay, but I may be mistaking you for someone else...

Pfft.  That's ridiculous.

Sorry dude, some women are just obnoxious people.  Just because I've noticed that I encounter obnoxious women in gaming more often than I encounter obnoxious women in the general population doesn't mean there's something wrong with me or my game.

Fuck, you doofus little SNAGs man, you're so predictable.   A guy even suggests that maybe some where in the universe there exists women who are losers, and some SNAG has to jump up and say "No, there are no women who are losers, just guys who perceive women as losers because they are losers."

The common element of all your dysfunctional relationships is you.

You can come up with an elaborate or even simple theory about how it was always their fault, but in the end the common element is you.

This works very well to explain Ron Edwards' GNS and "brain damage" theories, and it works equally well for you.

Wait, so girls gaming is a bad thing now?

I suppose it is possible that Jackalope lives in some area that has a mystical field that attracts idiotic/obnoxious girl gamers...

But I doubt it.  

I can say that I've met girl gamers that drove me up the wall with irritation, and girl gamers that pretty much made the game they were in, and everything in between.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;224015The common element of all your dysfunctional relationships is you.

Yeah, but the common element in all of my functional relationships is also me, so...???

Also, you're very stupidly applying your feminist brainwashing here.  You're supposed to use the "common element = you!" argument when someone claims that women in general are malign in someway, usually in a dating/relationships context.  Because when someone makes such a claim, then the only common element is women.

This is the sort of nonsense that happens when you substitute an emotionally loaded hypersensitive ideology like feminism for actual thinking.  You turn into a badly functioning robot, nonsensically spouting the same tired arguments.  It's like you're running a Internet Feminist Arguing 101 script.

I'm rolling on the floor in laughter here.

I never said there were no women who are losers.  I did, however, suggest that you were a loser.

And you based this on the fact that most of the women gamers I've met have been obnoxious people?  You're an idiot.

----

I just had a thought.  A lot of gamers I've met have been overweight, whether male or female.

Many overweight guys are funny, personable and outgoing.  Fat guys learn quickly that they have to have a lot of personality to score with women.  Also, other guys will totally overlook the fact that another guy is fat if he's funny.

Fat girls get it a lot rougher than fat guys.  Having a nice personality doesn't help them anywhere near as much, and other women pick on them far more than other guys pick on fat guys.   Guys also pick on fat girls.  So a lot fo fat girls are bitter and angry.
