We're at under 30 posts, and still there's a disgusting amount of sexism in this thread.

I figure if she wants to act like a bitch, people are gonna treat her like one. When she speaks this ignorantly, it makes people very angry and it looks poorly upon female gamers.
|
Her statements are absurd and ludicrous, and she makes herself a fair target for ridicule and scorn.
That does nothing to justify the misogyny you and too many others are displaying. Blacks are underrepresented in the gaming enthusiast press, even more so than women. If it was a black person saying these exact same words, you would not be as blase if folks were throwing racial slurs around, so do not pretend that sexism is okay because Morgan Webb somehow "represents women."

Most people would still call them a bitch guy girl black white hispanic... They all would get the same treatment from the same people.

On the internet, there is anonymity. No one will know who you are, so you cannot be held accountable for much that you say. Frankly, you can say whatver you want.
This case is different.
She put herself out there just like any other person remotely visible on a public internet domain.
What I did here, matches her ignorance 1:1. How do I sound calling her a bitch with a muzzle and future porn career? What I say has no basis, no logic, nor any sense of informed decency. Neither did what she said. Now, I took it to a harsher extreme, but frankly I could give two shits. Also, if you have ever been on youtube/Xbox Live, you know that users will not hesistate to discriminate on race.
I think in terms of strictly this case, A man saying the same thing as Morgan would be called a troll, no matter what race or nationality (Greek, Black, Asian, White, Middle Eastern, Hispanic). Look at Pachter.His race or creed has nothing to do with the content of his review. Criticizing anything about it would be so random. "What do white guys know about gaming? Black guys know nothing of FPSs!".......??????What?
Like I said before, women are still a minority in gaming. Despite what you think noname, that everything is peachy-keen and women are cool in gaming now, that isn't the case.
They are still thrown in with the soccer moms and casual brand. There are people who have no problem with women reviewing things or providing feedback. But why does Morgan have to be the odd girl out? No one says she can't have an opinion, but why does she explain it like such a bimbo?
She is behaving like a stereotype. A stereotype including "valley girls" or women who behave flippantly, or female sports watchers that don't know what they are talking about.
Do I care about being mysogonist with jokes in this case? Absolutely not.
