    Would have been nice if more of the women in mmorpgs I played growing up were like that. Too many guilds were torn apart intentionally by women who damn well knew what they were doing and knew that at least one of your staff members was easy to twist around their fingers.

    Edit: For anyone seething, women are people and they deserve respect like anyone else, but they are also people, and some of them are assholes.

      Yeah this is the flipside to OP. Don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Women can be misanthropic trolls just as much as men can.

      I was in a guild on a mmorpg that was predominantly women, and there was a squabble between a couple women.

      I said, “Settle down, you both have very big penises.” One responded, “Uh, were girls.” I replied, “Then why are you having a dick measuring contest?” It didn’t go over particularly well, but the bickering died down.

        Knowing my luck they would both turn on me if I was in that situation.

        I do appreciate how there’s more women in online games now though. FFXIV has a lot of women, and it’s great because I don’t have to be that guy anymore and deal with identity politics if someone acts out. There will probably be another woman in the group who is equally annoyed by whatever bad behavior is going on and call it out.

      It is nice to blame women for being manipulative and not the men for falling for the manipulation and causing the infighting, right?

      Never thought I’d sign up for socials again but you’re an angry little misogynistic shit who happens to be so close to the truth.

      You’re not being downvoted because you’re wrong. You’re being downvoted because you came into a thread about women’s issues and detracted from it for your own grievances. You say you respect women? Prove it by shutting the fuck up and listening when they speak about their problems without having to make everyone about yourself. Learn from this and maybe you’ll become a more likeable person and you’ll find a woman that wants to get on your dick.

      Don’t bother responding. I said everything that needed to be said, you’ll either get it or you won’t.

        To think you “signed up for socials” just to try to white knight a hypothetical person, fuckin loser you’ve made this entire thread worse with your shitpost.

        This is an online forum. You can’t tell me not to respond or not to discuss something. Doing so isn’t misogynism. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the community this is posted in is not a women’s exclusive space either.

        You want to see misogynism? Go hunt down the guys who treat women like objects in the OP. I don’t know what you want from me.

        It’s also about women entering men’s spaces. Some people’s experience is women causing the issue
