women on the internet? HA!

[Darvi]

Spoiler: Yes, there are women on the internet. (click to show/hide)

Unfortunately, they all got eaten by tvtropes.

Vector.

Vector, by her own admission, has never played Dwarf Fortress (or any other Tarn Adams game). Nor does she plan to, apparently.

[Darvi]

Oh? Well, she frequently posts/posted on this forum, so whatever.

This thread is worst thread.

Of course I play dwarf fortress.


Dun dun dun?

[FallingWhale]

Hopefully you can guess that after one attempt a girl will stop posting in these.

'Tis a witch hunt.

This thread is worst thread.

I attempted to neuter the thread at the beginning but it was no use. This place is still a 'lolgirls' thread.

This is a forum about Dwarf Fortress; a game where dresses are for everybody, where maternal instincts is not to shield your child, but to use the little tyke to bludgeon the skulls of your enemies, and where the arguably most stereotypically feminine characters tend to be cannibals... and you expect to notice when girls are posting???

Actuilly Maternal instinct is not to shield your child, but to use your child as a shield.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Why didn't they listen? We tried to warn them!

I never thought I'd see a sexism cascade, let alone fail to stop one.

Fixed.

Every place online is like this at some point.

I think the biggest difference is the ladies, in most cases, just don't care to advertise.

Whereas, the number of online games, forums, etc.  I've been part of where a "what sex are you?" doesn't come up at some point from somebody is....ummmm....none.

Heck, the irrationality behind it is amazing more than anything.  I remember back in '98 when gods help me I still played Ultima Online and was a member of a guild called the Sisterhood of the Ivory Maiden.  Most of the member characters were female.  My member character was female.

I had 6 marriage proposals via that game over a 1 year period.  Why?  Because most people registered male characters, and then a female character would send half of them into the land of assumption.

Worry not therefore.  Just delight in the insanity, bloodshed, and profound concerns like whether you can get enough bolts from elf bones to kill an elf and have bolts left over?

Which should make more sense - If you die, what chance does the baby have? You on the other hand can always make a new baby. God, nature is so stupid about the maternal instinct...

50:50. That's been the average male-female ratio of users of the internet for years now.

• 20% are male and think women don't exist on the internet, and laugh in the face of indisputable evidence to the contrary.
• 20% are male and creepily fawn over anyone they have the slightest reason to believe might be female.
• 20% are female and choose not to attract a shitstorm from the two categories above by not revealing their gender.
• 20% are female and are operating under the delusion that being female makes them rare and unique on the internet, and draw excessive attention to it at the slightest provocation.
• The last 20% aren't preoccupied with these stupid things.

tl;dr

This thread is worst thread.
