I remember when fake gamer girls were a hotly discussed topic among gamers, I wanna say it was shortly before Gamergate
These fucking chicks COME TO OUR CONS and PRETEND TO LIKE ZELDA, to... uhhh
Was a thing way before gamergate. Much in the same way that women get questioned for wearing a band t-shirt.
Applies to anything considered stereotypically manly, really
"Oh you're a machinist? Name the 4 types of welding and describe how each one works"
Fire, Fira, Firaga and Firaja. None of them work because fire can't melt steel.
There was a specific moment in time the phenomenon in the context of gaming specifically became a topic of conversation
I remember going to a something once and two guys independently at different times accidentally caught me alone and started grilling me on games I mostly never heard of and I wasn't good at the smash brethren or anything I just picked yoshi because it's a cute animal thing
These fucking chicks COME TO OUR CONS and PRETEND TO LIKE ZELDA, to… uhhh
Gamers: "We demand big titty goth girls in every video game and we want boob physics where they jiggle when you jump and we want you to shoot real babies out of your vagina at your enemies, just like a real girl would, or we can't suspend our disbelief long enough to enjoy the game! ETHICS IN GAMER JOURNALISM!"
Also Gamers: "A real girl at my game convention? Ew, gross. They're just trying to trick me into buying a product."
Because toxic male gamers want to pretend their hobby is why the are single not because they hate women. If women were fake gamers, then no self-examination is needed
I am both elated and depressed that I can decode this like an anthropologist reading an ancient sanskrit manuscript
Darmok, on the ocean.
Darmok and Jalad, on the ocean.
Darmok and Jalad, at Tanagra.
Shaka, when the walls fell.
It’s true. If you want to be a gamer girl, you can just be a gamer girl
genie stop fucking around you know damn well what I meant

But reading that felt good? I think? Thanks? Ugh I need therapy

As a girl who had to take the journey of becoming a girl, there are several chest-high walls of self doubt with the illusion of being tall. If the material conditions are there, they can be overcome, and you'll look back wondering why they worried you so much.

i had a weird schism where i only hung out with nerdy weird girls up until 5th grade, then was told "eww you a boy", broke me and fucked me up for years, had to rediscover them again in high school. all the shit the chuds hate gamer girls, blue hair and shit i was drawn to so hard to the point where i seriously thought they just hated themselves for being into it to.
was cool they helped me do the stuff in this little webcomic just not as much of a speedrun
