grrr.
mkay ive rewritten this 234242432 times. and in the process, calmed down. but i'm still gonna mention it:

dear world of warcraft raid group:

following every statement a girl says with "GIRL NOISES!" is not cool. especially in a male-dominated environment where its hard enough to even speak without being talked over or interrupted, and where, even if i do speak, i'm ignored or outright mocked.

if it happens again, i will be busting some faces and causing drama.

also, bitter and antisocial rogue? my request for you to kindly stfu is not a reason to call me a drama queen.

sincerely,

-crazy feminist shadow priest.

What?

I wish I believed you were making this up. So... so... so blatantly, stupidly tribal.

WTF is wrong with them?

Probably the same men who are stymied that they can't get a girlfriend, and chalk it up to women being "bitches."

the claim is that its meant to be funny. like "HAHA the stereotype of demeaning what a woman says is so absurd that we can say this and its funny!"

thats the defense, anyway.

in practice, its said and the subject is changed IMMEDIATELY from what the girl has said. or shes mocked.

fucking bullshit.

Yeah, how "edgy."

Reminds me of Family Guy, with its constant misogyny. Which is okay because it's "ironic," and yet it's never actually subverted or countered in any way whatsoever.

Girl Noises? Seriously, what the fuck. That is so enraging.

We need an MMORPG where sexist statements like that cause rabid weasels to appear from the bushes and gnaw on the offending party's gonads.

IAWTC! Or sexist statements triggers a script that causes some 'hero'-class character from whatever universe the game is set in to drop in unexpectedly and squelch the chat from the offenders for a few minutes with a "the chatter of this one is annoying and offensive to me. Silence them!" ...with increasing squelch times until the wankers either just leave or... meh. I'm sure such a game would become horrendously unpopular and financially untenable due to the amount of male whining that would ensue, but a girl can dream, right? ;)

Rage on, sister WoW player! It can be really rough out there in Azeroth/Outlands. Hope you're finding some good support and decent folks to play with.
