When i PLAYED xbox live, I had 2 female friends who i knew personally. I occationally played games with them, and I heard alot of abuse from slugheads all over live. To me it makes no difference (like what RV2006 said) who i play with. To be honest, I'd rather play the majority of games with girl gamers, least then there would only the minority if any who'd always slag people off, immature and not very nice people.

edit:
Also i don't agree how some people talk about girl gamer skills. We are all human, we all can be good at anything we wish to be good at, so saying that 'they were actually getting some heads shots' is just like.. being sexest? Just because its a girl, doesn't mean that you can actually compair there skill.

Skill comes from practise, not from gender.

* "-Get back to the kitchen" x9000!!!!

More like OVER 9000 amirite?

In all seriousness, yeah the comments are dumb and same for what these people say on live. Welcome to the internet, it's full of children, some of them several decades old. It's a shame, but the best advice is just to keep the mic off.

Oh no, somebody on the internet said something mean to me. W/e, get over it. If there wasn't a girl in the server, then the a$$hole on the mic would make fun of a dude. The only difference is, a dude wouldn't really care, because he would understand it's only the internet. So next time you don't want someone to say something dumb to you, turn your mic off, or mute the retard.

(First post!)

I've read this type of articles for a long time, and seriously, I don't think it's that bad.

I play several times a week with my girlfriend on xbox live, usually the good, old Halo2.
Most of the time people don't even realize she is a girl, they just assume she is a 12 years old boy (even though she does have a female Gamertag).
When they do realize she is a girl, usually it is not that bad either (and considering the biggest part of the Halo2 community consists of assholes), they don't seem to insult her more because of that.

Of course usually there is one or another that doesn't stop bothering her, or that keeps sending friend requests, but it's easy to simply mute them or quit the game.

I'll ask her to come here later to see what she thinks about it, I'm interested in her point of view.

This is a such a lame complaint, it's a bit of an eye opener as I didn't think ppl would be so mean but seriously what do woman expect? It's not like I play on line and don't get people screamin "F this" and "F that" down the line, it's all part of the experience... If you don't like it don't play!

As mentioned in a previouse post, why doesn't she just say she's a guy? I hear loads of people on-line who sound like they're 3 years old, they could of course be females but I totally assume that it's some under age gamer... so irronic that the person I am talking about was being made fun of by the entire team cuz he sounded like a girl, should he complain? Should girls complain that they made fun people sounding like a girl?

Perhaps I should complain about the waste of time this has all been? Or maybe we should all forget about this, carry on with our lives and get back to the game!
