I've decided to go ahead and blog at this particular moment because I'm in need of a rant.
I've been a tomboy my entire life (though the outward reflection has gotten more feminine over the recent years) and as a result have usually had more guy friends than girl friends. This isn't a problem with me as I never really have much in common with girls anyway. Being somewhat nerdy and dorky as well, I'm usually friends with gamers. This has never really been a problem. In fact it hasn't at all. Until now.
I've noticed over the past two or three years that guys in regards to gaming have gotten (generally speaking) significantly more conceited and arrogant. What on virtual Earth could have caused this highly aggravating change? Just because I have a different anatomical makeup does not mean I all of a sudden forgot how to work a controller or keyboard. I shouldn't have to prove anything at all, for that matter. Growing up getting respect from this type of gentleman I now find myself being ignored, patronized, and treated like I'm a child or ignorant to the ways of true gaming.
Excuse me, but when did this become a men only affair? And, better yet, how do I get back in the game? (pun totally intended)
Today's Rant Brought To You By: The inattentive and completely unhelpful male associates at my local Gamestop.
