Notice also how the female members get royal treatment...
I mean hell its comedic. You got one dude who is probably 40 with cracked glasses, but just because hes got 64 pixels or so he becomes and idle to the blind.
Just thank the lord you leave the house is what im sayin

Beh. I'm a chick, I play 2D fighters (long live KoF!), and I'm sick and tired of having to defend myself to the screaming boatloads of nonbelievers. So There.
*rants*
Does it really matter whether or not you can prove the physical gender of a particular poster? NO! Insofar as I am concerned, Rukochan and Tak79 are the only ones here who know who (and what) I am IRL, and that's more than fine by me.
*winks*
But EvilWasabi, I am an Orochi Goddess...! *points down at her sig*

1. I wish I could find me some female fighting gamers that are local though. The ones I know live on the east coast. >.<
2. Thanks. A friend of mine gave it to me. The artist is named Azure and she's known for sorta cutesy KoF artwork. I liked it because it was a good blend of Capcom and SNK. And yes, I do eat cheese.

Beh. I too am a chick who likesfighting games. I'm also a queer chick, so there's no boyfriend lurking in the background influencing me to play or not. I'm not going to say I don't also play puzzlegames, but I suck at 'em, and there's not enough frickin' money in the world to get me near a DDR machine. <img src="graemlins/angry.gif" border="0" alt="[Angry]" />
Sorry, but it irks the bejeezus out of me that girl gamers are either thought not to exist or that we're just fan girls.
Then again, I must admit I did use some guys' assumptions to my advantage. (You can ignore this next bit LuYag; you've heard me gloat over it before. )
Anyhoo, a while back I'd gone to one o' those "entertainment establishments" with some friends to hang out and play games. I had put a few beers away, and in my drunken wisdom decided to challenge someone.
I went up to a Capcom vs SNK machine where an Asian guy was playing; he was actually sitting on a stool, and looking very much like he belonged there. I asked if he minded if I played, and he looks me over, grins and says, "Sure." I put in my tokens, and pick a team of Vice, King, and Nakoruru.
Guy: Do you know how to play?
Me: Yeah; I've played this on the DreamCast, but I'm not very good. I'm better at KOF.
Guy: (stares) ...
I could hear him thinking "But you're a CHICK!" I then proceeded to kick his ass. TWICE. The entire time he's swearing in Chinese, and his friend had come over to laugh at him. He was laughing at himself at the end and he said to me "Shit, you're good!" Then the friend challenged me. I also tore him a new one. It was very satisfying all in all.
Either I'm a lot better at fighting games than I think I am or I play REALLY good when I'm drunk.

To be fair, most female gamers are fangirls. It's a stereotype, yes, but stereotypes exist for a reason. They don't just spring up out of nowhere. I could say "All girl gamers are redheads," but that's not a stereotype. It's a generalization. And a mighty random one, at that. It has no basis in personal observation. I've met several girl gamers over the years, and by and large, they have fit the "fangirl" stereotype (and as such, are just as annoying as their male counterparts). But like any stereotype, it's overly broad and doesn't apply to all individuals. If you don't fit into the usual mold, then good for you. But rather than being annoyed at those who buy into a negative stereotype you don't like, why not get on the case of those who perpetuate it instead? (This applies to any who gripe about stereotypes of any kind, honestly.) It'd get more accomplished, though probably not much more... people can be notoriously stubborn.
