I don't feel the need to prove myself to you.
You don't have to prove yourself to anybody, except an admin if asked what your reasoning for making this thread is, which in my opinion should be Grrl power! Seriously. This thread is
technically breaking the rules; there's hardly any set topic of discussion; it's "general discussion" and those kinds of topic are not allowed.
However, I've kept it to the "females are misrepresented" subject matter; even then, I don't think I'm any more right for posting in a thread that isn't producing discussion about one topic or a themed topic; which is why we go back to the "Grrl power!" reasoning.
If you think about it, the only reason so many males posted could be that "you're a female gamer" and that in and of itself is "misogynistic" and maybe that's the reason why you posted this thread. In my opinion, this thread does have a subtle topic that isn't being talked about
enough and it becomes even more relevant for that; females are misrepresented in video games, male gamers want attention from a female gamer, I've heard the term "girl gamer" being thrown around here and there, vaginas are now a topic of discussion/argument-based points in a video game discussion forum, etc. This all has to do with what I started to talk about with you. We didn't finish our conversation but my question still stands: How good do you consider yourself at you at BF3? This seems irrelevant but I have a point that actually connects to the Grrl power! "movement" in video games.
I propose to you, in order to make this thread a more discussion-based one, change your topic of discussion from "Ask a girl who works at a gaming store anything" to "Misogyny and other feminist related discussion in gaming" so that an admin doesn't soon move your topic to the Recycle Bin or Chatterbox and I encourage you to seek constructive criticism from others so that this topic stays relevant to the feminism-in-gaming themed subject matter
and I encourage anyone else reading this post to be more productive in the discussion than just criticizing the OP for
technically breaking the rules.
