Hahaha..... Sorry! It doesn't happen... THAT MUCH. But no. There is some bit of discrimination. It depends on the playerbase so it varies from place to place. Things I have run into: OMG YOU ARE A GIRL? Pics or it didn't happen. (I fully admit to doing this too.) People think you are a dude. (Admittedly happens a lot because there are lots of guys that will pretend to be girls for an advantage. There are a lot of sad people out there that will fork over things to girls for free because they are hopeless and it's the only time they ever spoken with a chick because they are too afraid to IRL. SO they are hoping to score some virtual tail.) Guys think they are better than you because you are a girl. (They think chicks can only be wimpy healers or something and not kick butt. Depends on the person really. After all, there are guys and girls that just plain suck at games. Completely unbased comment.) Guys will throw themselves at you or fawn over you insanely. (This happened more back in the day. I believe the misconception of "There are no girls on the internet." is toning down a bit. So if you did prove you were a girl, you had everyone and their brother after your tits. Flattering? Perhaps. Sure gave a nice ego boost. I never was one to take free stuff though. I was the cut throat seller who wanted all the moneys.... still how it is? OF COURSE!) I am sure there are some other points I am missing. Oh yes, Krazzie's get back in the kitchen comment kinda plays into the "guys are better than girls" thing. Wow. This post is <3ing amazing.

Wow I was honestly expecting you guys to vote no. I wonder if any other groups feel discriminated against in the gaming world. Honestly, 95% of all females I've ever meet are jerks, so the thing that stops me from saying that I hate them is that; out of the five or so females that are usually on AOC, two or three of them are not arseholish most of the time. Also, I realize that my answer is incredibly biased, but that's because I didnt start out from a neutral standpoint. Dude where the hell do you meet girls? you must be doing it wrong. unless you're like the guy in my English class who literally hates everyone but his mum. XD I'm fine with girls.. But I'm sure that most girl's don't game as much because of the **** that gets started over the topic of "Discrimination", etc. etc. because 1. They think all the stuff that gets started over this topic is stupid. 2. They're tired of sexist bull. 3. That healer stuff that Aku said So, people.... Stop being so fking sexist and we'll be just fine n_n

Unfortunately, the majority of females I know are the slutty douchebag types. You know? The ones with the high amounts of hormones, and the low IQs?

You would be correct. While the females Do have Low IQs, the guys have virtually No IQ at all. Everytime one walks into the room, I feel a little bit dumber. And to Zauber, I am aware, but I know so little aren't that that type. (Also, it occurred to me that by females, you might have taken it as EVERY female. By female, I meant the females that I know in general. The same goes for males. Hope this didn't cause any confusion )

Sounds like someone's not getting laid anytime soon with that kind of attitude! Well... at least not by a girl. ^.-
But yeah. Cut out the sexism and chicks won't be so adverse to entering the wonderful world of TEH WEBZ AND GAMEZ.

Don't worry! Tyupo, you will always have Shezz :3 ALWAYS!!! XD Anyways, just putting my 2 cents in here. I am not sexist, nor do I think girls should be off the video games. I believe there actually should be more female players in video games cause it adds diversity to the chat, and different points of views. offtopic: I also think females that play games are hawt.(unless unhygenial and 300 lb's...) just my point of view...

1. Aku, why would I be getting laid soon? I'm thirteen. 2. Ignoring Rhain. 3. To everyone else, this is a prime example of what I mean. When I try to be serious (which is not at All often), it becomes a joke to them. Also, did Any of you read the last sentence or two in my first post? I said that I KNEW My answer was sexist, but I didn't start out from a neutral standpoint like all you guys over there in Equality land. (Note: After rereading my comments, I realized that you might have misunderstood my previous one, and have edited it to avoid confusion.)

My view: The average female is smarter than the average male, but the a male genius is smarter than a female genius. Einstein, Edison, Pythagoras, Mozart, Valfor, see what I mean?

But... Valfor isn't smart D: He just knows how to make himself look a fool in Skype chats. "You would be correct. While the females Do have Low IQs, the guys have virtually No IQ at all. Everytime one walks into the room, I feel a little bit dumber." So, what gender are you?

My view: The average female is smarter than the average male, but the a male genius is smarter than a female genius. Einstein, Edison, Pythagoras, Mozart, Valfor, see what I mean? The average for males and females on IQ is (virtually) the same. The standard deviation aka spread aka distribution on the males tests scores tends to be noticeably higher, however. This translates into there being many more males at the "genius" or "brilliant" level, while also there being many more males than females at the "dull" or "mentally retarded" level. Women's IQs tend to be clustered around the mean (100), while you'll find more men spread across more "area" of the data. Differences arise in highschool grades in general, as some of you may have noticed, with females almost always ending up higher up. The main cause for this abnormality arises from that fact that a VERY high percentage of highschool dropouts are male (more from the lower-tail distribution), which skews the data. This link here provides you with the 12th google image of "male female IQ distribution" if you're seeking more information. static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Observer/Pix/pictures/2010/8/13/1281737806462/mel-gibson-006.jpg
