OMG Girlz Don't Exist On Teh Intarweb!

Posted by Zonk on from the yeah-they-do dept.

The Escapist has a brilliant article penned by a young woman who has to deal with blatant disbelief at her existence. Why? Because there are no women on the internet. From the article: "This is the story of my internet life. (I'm not quite sure if it's a good or bad thing that I have an internet life, but internet life it is.) I'm a girl, I play games and I exist on the internet. Or so you think. Time after time, I get told I'm not a girl and that I don't exist. It's happened so much that I'm beginning to think that it's true. So, I spend some time getting to know them. Who are these mysterious creatures called girls if they don't exist on the internet? What does this mean for the men of the internet?"

      In the middle of a FPS forums, I wouldn't believe there to be a chick. Because everyone knows that only nerds and geeks use the Internet. And 99.9% of woman are NOT nerds or geeks. This becomes a problem because you have millions of men growing up on Internet and not believing in the opposite gender. Or they only believe that woman have really big boobs and dress like sluts.

      Now don't get me wrong! I personaly don't believe in these so called "people of another gender." Babys drop the sky and ride magical stars down... kinda like Kirby.

    The problem is that the type of guy who spends most of his life on the Internet probably doesn't have much "female interaction" to begin with. So when this guy meets a girl online, his initial reaction will be disbelief.

    Note that this initial disbelief may soon be followed by, "OMG BOOBZ!!1!" so caution is advised.
