[...] You know the How to transform your girl into a gamer article I blogged about the other day? The author has linked tekanji’s response and added this to her recap: * A note from the author: if you are lucky enough to already have a tech savvy girl who dabbles in gaming from time to time, this article is not meant for you. This is not “how to transform your gamer girl into a hardcore gamer girl.” These helpful tips are for the ladies who have never held a console controller in their hands or who still think that Ms. Pac Man is the greatest game EVER. So before you flame me for being stereotypical or for suggesting that you “dumb it down” for the girls, I defy you to find me a chick who has never gamed before who could pick up an Xbox controller and play Halo out of the gate. …you won’t. Also, a pre-emptive strike for the militant femanist chicks who will flame me for being stereotypical….get a freaking sense of humor bitches! Hugs and Kisses, ~HCG KPigl37 [...]

Mary: it’s clear that your boyfriend took pity on you and taught you how to post comments using small words and nice, colourful diagrams. See! Even a girl can do it!

This reminds me of the “how to get your girlfriend to like sports” or “what to do when your man loves sports” type books and stuff that have become really popular in response to football and nascar most recently. i mean, i’d be one thing if it was just a general “how to get your friend, your partner to get into sports or video games” or even just a “video game 101, sports 101 for dummies” deal…but when people blatantly gender it with stereotypes, ugh.

Christ. I’d rather be labelled a militant feminist (that’s an insult?) than be seen as someone who bends over and takes it simply to be accepted.

I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad that Kotaku had the same take on it as I did…

I set her chick wallpaper as my background.

I didn’t even get linked in her rebuttle. She must not have noticed my pits of feminazi. Pity.

Look, she thinks we’re humorless bitches (her word):

Oh yeah, completely serious. And according to the poll, most of the guys found it helpful. None said that they didnâ€™t.

Oh, that’s just wrong. If they truly believed that the article was helpful, they really don’t know enough to know better and need any help they can get. Unfortunately, “help” like this is more likely to hurt if it’s the only input they’ll have.

I’m going to go throw out my computer and put some hot rollers in my hair now. You know, so a gamer guy knows what to do with me based on this article.
