In which "r u raggy?"
I'm a girl. I'm also a gamer. I'm an avid fan of console games, but I also spend alot of time playing MMORPGs, like City of Heroes and Warcraft- though lately, it's mostly been Warcraft.
One of my favorite things to do in WoW is to raid. I've been raiding with my guild for approximately 2.5 years now. I'm pretty damn good. I know how to be the top damage dealer while standing out of fire and bringing dead characters back to life. However, there's one thing that always makes me insecure whenever I join the occasional pick up group, and that's speaking on Vent and everyone finding out I'm a girl.
It sounds silly. I should be proud that I'm a girl and a much better player than many males I know. However, I always come across a couple issues that really irritate me.
One: Whenever I speak on vent, I inevitably get a whisper telling me that I sound sexy. I'llr espond with a curt thank you and leave it at that. For the most part, though, it doesn't end there. I'll keep getting whispers saying how cute I sound, am I single, etc etc. I ignore them, but it gets persistent and sometimes quite angry.
Two: When it's been established that I'm a girl, there will ALWAYS be some asshole who likes to blame my annoyance at them on my "being on the rag". For example, last night some asswipe (it's always someone playing a gnome, I swear, that's such a huge asshole indicator) was sending me tells all night loong complaining about not getting loot. I mentioned in response that "yeah, loot council isn't exactly even most of the time." Apparently that invited the asshole to start accusing me of being a loot whore, and that I get everything I want (very not true, even that night I got passed up on several items). I responded, "Ok, I'm just going to leave you alone tonight." His response: "lol jeeze i was just kidding, r u raggy or what?"
Mike was a total sweetheart and sent the ass a tell saying, "Don't ever fucking talk to her like that ever again."
I think tonight I will just take the night off of raiding. I'm stressed enough as is without having to waste 4 hours of my time with some completely immature menfuckholes.
