Basically, don’t be a jerk.
1. “It’s so hot that you play video games.” “Pics pl0x?” “Are you hot??”
Disney / giphy.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
I’m actually not playing for you to find it appealing.
2. “You’re not bad… for a girl.”
NBC / awesomelyluvvie.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Talk about a back-handed compliment.
3. “I was going easy on you.” “I let you win.”
Fox / glee.wikia.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Sure you did. It’s always annoying when someone automatically starts acting differently as soon as they find out you’re a girl.
4. “Really? You play video games? Like what?”
NBC / digitaltrends.com!OLTfH / Via thenerdyfox.com
The doubt is annoying. I’m assure you that I’m not lying just to impress you.
5. “Did your boyfriend get you into gaming?”
Warner Bros. / glee.wikia.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
I’m not saying that every girl gets into gaming on her own, but I promise that we don’t just do things because our significant others wants us to.
6. “If you game, tell me about this obscure fact on this obscure level of some game. Oh, you can’t? FAKE NERD ALERT!”
CBS / awesomelyluvvie.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Really? Just stop this. Right now.
7. “If you don’t want to be called out as a female, don’t use such a ‘girly’ tag!”
Warner Bros. / giphy.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Some people actually enjoy the RP factor of games. Also, what about the guys that have ‘girly’ tags or vice versa?
8. “If you don’t like the female character option, just play a male.”
Fox / smartladieslovestuff.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Again, some of us like the RP factor of games. I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be options for the bikini style armor or anything like that… I’m just saying that I should get to have more options than just the bikini armor.
9. “Shouldn’t you be in the kitchen?”
E! / giantlife.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
The sexist clichés category really gets under my skin. You may think it’s funny but in reality, it’s not. It paints you as a chauvinist and it instantaneously makes me like you less.
10. “You must be a fat/ugly [insert rude adjective] [expletive].”
500.co / Via thenerdyfox.com
Why? Because I play games and automatically any girl that plays video games is fat and/or ugly? Don’t start name calling because you’re insecure.
11. “Do you need help?” “Do you want me to level all your characters for you?” “Here is half of my gold!” “Marry me!!”
Fox / giphy.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
This one seems like a weird thing to complain about but, it’s condescending. If I need help, I’ll ask for help. Please stop treating me differently because I’m a woman!
12. “Will you dress up as [insert character here] for me?”
Oxygen / fuckyeahsideeyes.tumblr.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Hmm… No, probably not going to do that for you. Also, that’s a creepy thing to say to someone.
13. “How did you win?!”
ABC / crushable.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Um, skills?
14. “Can I add you? PLEASE??”
The CW / roleplaygateway.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
If the only reason is because of my gender, absolutely not.
15. “I heard you’re an epic mount.” “Nice skirt you’re wearing, what’s the drop rate?” “If I was a NES cartridge, would you blow me?”
Universal Pictures / pandawhale.com / Via thenerdyfox.com
Gaming pick-up lines just make me want to vomit. There is nothing appealing or clever about them… most of the time it’ll just end with us laughing at you.
