Gamer Girls

I’m going to try to get through this video. It’s nearly twenty minutes long. Lady Decade has a painful, shrill, cut-glass accent that I don’t ever want to listen to. That’s why she’s not in the rotation. She’s nowhere near the rotation. But we have a relevant topic, it seems.

0:00 – “Oh yes. Fake gamer girl: a pejorative term that is thrown at someone at literally every female gaming content creator online who shares their passion for the hobby on the information superhighway.”

You already lost me. First of all, terrible grammar. Bear in mind that this was written out. She’s reading this. And she wrote, “Term that is thrown at someone at lierally every female gaming content creator.” Doesn’t make sense. Did I hear it wrong? I listened to this ten times. There was a word or two that I couldn’t make out nearer the beginning of the sentence but I think they weren’t important.

But secondly, I don’t think that people are insulting female “gamers” unfairly. When somebody is genuinely interested in video games, I think it’s obvious and people don’t have a problem with them. Equally, it’s obvious when somebody isn’t interested in video games and these people should rightly be called out.

Take, for example, Pam aka CannotBeTamed. She’s genuinely interested in video games. Sure, I write about her, but I don’t focus on her being a fake gamer. I focus on her being boring as shit and fucking her dog.

But Erin? Erin is a total fraud. A blind man can see it. Hence, the blog. I was so outraged by this unabashed charlatan that I made it my life’s mission to expose her.

Everyone else who I write about is just to pad things out. Erin is the only 100% fake “gamer” who I write about. Even if you look at Destiny Fomo, for example, let’s assume, rightly, that all of her games belong to her pimp. I’ve heard Madam Fomo speaking off the cuff about video games and she was speaking in a semi-knowledgeable fashion. She clearly knows at least something about video games.

Erin is a total fake.

I would never start a blog based on Pam or Retro Ali or Bobdunga or whatever. But Erin? That’s something special. That is somebody who is so transparently clueless about video games that the world has to know. It’s shockingly obvious that she knows nothing about video games. The brazenness of it all. It’s noteworthy.

By the way, I’m 30 seconds in and there are a lof “sexy” (revolting) shows of Lady Decade. For example, she “sensually” blows into a game cartridge. Then there’s a shot of her with her stocking-clad legs up on a desk playing Super Mario Bros.

Whoa. Did my pants just get tighter? No, they’re suprisingly roomy.

I’m a minute in and her argument thus far is that anyone who claims that any woman isn’t genuinely interested in video games has never had sex with a woman and smells bad. I’m not even joking. This is her thesis. It’s not even worth dignifying with a response.

3:15 – After more insults, claiming that guys who play video games are nerds and bald, she gives an example of somebody who she claims is a legitimate fake “gamer”: Fit Aitana. It’s an AI…thing. That’s what this video is about. She’s going to talk about AI.

The good news is that I can stop the video here. I don’t have to listen to this woman for one more second.

You know how you’re not going to grow a channel? With these clickbait titles. Nobody likes to feel like they’ve been taken advantage of. You go to a video expecting one thing and it’s something else, are you going to go back to that channel or are you going to make use of Youtube’s fairly recent but useful “block channel” feature?

I’m looking at the comments. Most of them are about fake gamers as in human beings. Very few people are talking about AI, which was the subject of the video. So either these people didn’t watch the video or they just don’t give a fuck about the topic.”

• “When I hear someone call a woamn fake gamer girl I automatically think the speaker is a POS projecting. They are looking frot he attention. If there are fake gamer girls? Who the fuck cares.”

There’s a well-reasoned argument.

• “Guys should just date other guys at this point”

Somebody from that sub-reddit posted, I guess.

• “I never understood why anyone would fall for these grifters. But then, I get the feeling that to do so would require having an IQ on par with that of a jar of mayonnaise.”

The people going to Erin’s channel, for example, are literally retarded. So you’re right. But should retards be taken advantage of?

• “as a female gamer, I can safely say that pretending to be interested in any hobby isnt healthy. not just gaming in particular, but really any hobby. if youre genuinely not interested in something, theres no reason to pretend to be interested in it for social acceptance or something. its simply not healthy”

• “If you’re not a fake Gamer girl, then don’t worry about what some trolls have to say. Guys are on the attack because fake nerd girls are a serious problem in general. Those fake nerds are sexual predators that prey on lonely nerds (many of which are autistic and don’t know any better) to get their wallets. And now that all producers of nerd products pander to females- all of the products suck and us real fans have been pushed out of our communities and hobbies. Star Wars, for example, is dead now thanks to that shit.”

So anyway, I went to the dentist today. It’s a Muslim woman. She’s from the Middle East. My previous dentist was a Scottish guy, and he was good, but then he brought this woman in and just pawned me off to her. I could have refused and insisted that I still go to this guy but I didn’t want to look like I was racist or sexist or anti-Muslim. Plus, fuck that guy for pawning me off like that.

She did a filling six months ago. And then it was really painful when I would eat. So I went back and she lowered the filling. Things were a lot better but there was still sometimes pain when eating.

Last week, I went for my six month checkup. Everything was fine. Don’t need any work done. But I told her that I still have some pain when eating. So she lowered the filling again.

Things are better but still not 100%. So I went today for the scaling and polishing. She asked how the filling is and I said it’s better but I still sometimes have this pain. I told her that I don’t want anything done to it any more, though. I’m thinking maybe it will get better, maybe I only notice it when I’m thinking about it, whatever.

So she looked at the tooth. She said it’s fine. Okay. Then they did the cleaning.

Afterwards, she said, “Would you like to still see me?” I was confused and said yeah. She starts saying, “If you’ve lost your trust in me, we have other dentists in the surgery who you can see. It’s not a problem. I don’t take it personally.” No. Whatever.

Frankly, I don’t think that she is very good. But what am I going to do? It’s difficult to find a dentist in this country. There are a lot of really shitty ones out there. I’ve been to them. So it’s a crapshoot. This place is at least semi-professional. There’s no weird shit going on. Nobody is trying to upsell you. Nobody is conning you. Nobody is talking about what a piece of shit you are for not flossing.

What you want to find is an old man. That’s the ideal dentist. 55+ year old male. There should be a way to search for dentists by age and gender.
