To all of you, I say hello. I was talking to a member of your site, and I eventually told him I am a female organism. He said "ROFL NO UR NOT I DOUBT THAT ROFL." I then showed him a picture, and he said "ROFL PICS DONT PROVE ANYTHING LOL." If I were a male, and showed said "I am a male organism" and showed him pictures of myself, would he question my sex? This is a strange double standard. Why are people on the internet sexist?

Cause they are usually nerds who dislike women because they have been shunned by them most of their lives/ feel awkward communicating with them.

TRUTH.

When did this happen?

Usually when people on GW do this, it's just sarcasm and not serious.

If I got the term wrong, I apologize. To use, I do not know the right word. Is it a "double standard"? Does that appear correct? Either way, I do not believe that female organisms are like rare jewels that must go out of their way to prove they are a female organism. Do I need a lab report of my chromosomes?

If you're actually a serious account with a serious question, which I doubt, then it's because a ton of internet girls are just poser guys. And they also have pics that they found on Myspace or something. It just usually pays not to believe them.

Does that clear anything up?

I would like you more if you stopped referring to yourself as a 'female organism'.

Not sure if that's sexist, though.

"ROFL NO UR NOT I DOUBT THAT ROFL."

If that is verbatim, it was sarcasm.

If that is a paraphrase and said in sincerity, then I can only speculate that it is the hyperactive maladjusted ejaculate of an under-socialized manchild, who is so underexposed to women in real life that he cannot help but fawn all over himself in incredulity at the opportunity to converse with one over THE INTERNETS.

Also, it is a type of sexism, just not a traditional one based on gender roles and whatnot. "Sexism" can also mean discrimination, prejudice, or special treatment based solely on gender, something that you can't really deny happens on the internet, where women are put on a pedestal by some people.

Fake edit: oh yeah, and like Jester said, because there actually are a lot of weirdos who masquerade as women on the internet, for one reason or another, despite actually being male.

yeah, that's not sexism but tell us who this was they should seriously be banned

also if they write like that they're not really part of this site, they're operating on their own

oh it's dust. I've never seen him post outside of the games forums. don't be too mean to him, he actually is a loser who needs proper guidance.
