So, lemme get this straight.....this thread is about gothic getting unfair treatment on the forums and in Quake, right?
If yes, then theres not much else I can say. Gothic, you're gonna have to put up with imbeciles and bigots of the highest order all your life...YOU have to be the one to put the foot down. I will get this out now, but I have never played quake multiplayer because there doesn't ever seem to be an active server (i'm a grizzled player, I'd love to thrash about OoPpEe. But sadly, it looks like I can't till I figure out why no servers show up.), but I assume a good portion can be assholes on the fly from what people like mind and others say. But Gothic, if they talk smack, talk smack back! If they give you this so called "porcelin doll" treatment (which I find personally to be bs), then tell them to get a life! I don't wish to sound mean (I'm actually quite nice, but this thread has got me annoyed), but people complaining about common things kinda pisses me off.
In short, there's not much you can do about it. Sorry, but you gotta BUCK UP BUTTERCUP! (1+rep for anyone who can name the commercial that came from.)
She basically said she doesn't need chivalry or "protection" from the classic Quaker, which is loud and abnoxious. Then the post enjoyed a heft derailing.
Something all women will get. Those who are serious enough about gaming - will ignore it and play and will usually get some laughs out of it. The issue is what Mindz said. Someone says something - they get those punishments which if she doesn't care; why is it happening?

Because, sexcism will continue to thrive and strive for long after our deaths. This world is largely run by men, so it's harder for the women to stand up on their own. It's just, gothic kind of came of to me as an attention-grabber.
I'm too tired, but what was your post about, Mind?
Who would win: a death knight, or a gremlin with a double-barrel?

No, it wasn't intended to be "Look at me!"
If that's what you interpited then you apparently didn't read my post. Maybe the point wasn't conveyed directly as easily as it could have been,so in my last post I gave one. If you was too tired to read then maybe you shouldn't initiate conversations, or resurrect post's that you intended to just politely *yawn* out of.
The underlined portion of your quoted post, is what I don't understand. Gothic stood up in a near 99% male dominated game (quake1) and demanded EQUAL treatment,which I fail to see how you see that as a attention grabber subject or intention.

I definately think YOU MAD though.
HE MAD?
Pardon my french, but what the fuck are you on about? I'm not mad at all, I just misinterpreted it I guess. I was saying it was harder for the women to stand up, I respected what she was doing. It's just the fact that mistreatment will never stop. But even if I am tired, I wish to know.
You go on from explaining to me what it's actually about, to going UMAD?
Your coming off to me as a hyperactive chihuahua. Just calm down.

Toxic, attention wasn't what I was going for at all(believe me),this was more for the equal treatment, I didn't want "the guys" taking it easy on me, or half ass playing because I was on there, Yes when I started playing I knew that dip-shits would try to start something, I had no control over the admins banning over what was being said. Thats why I made this thread , to be given that fair chance to improve my game without everyone thinking I was getting "special privileges" . I only attention I wanted is what earned...
