Dear god, Its gotta have to be the most stupid post I ever read, I am amazed you actually didnt got banned for begin sexist.

Back on topic, I think that boys and girls are equal, Not because they are girls mean that they dont have the right to play games with more boys than girls.

Wow. Immature much?

I agree if you believe that load of crap then you shouldn't play an mmo or be part of this community.

Hmm I understand what went on, I have a friend from school ( A Girl), who was so tired of people saying things to her, and she thought that clothing looked stupid or suggestive on females that she decided to play as a male. I understand why she did this but idk, I think it's allways going to happen while there are imature players....

We even have some on Bandb....

Why would I have gotten banned for posting my opinion, if that truly was my opinion?

Why would you post such a thing if that was a lie?

And you have already been told to drop it..

Recently as I've been playing more by myself rather than interacting with lots of people I've had a significantly better time playing, not only because of the "noobs" not bothering, but because I'd get some pixel-loving weirdo come up to me and call me "hot," based completely on a pixel video game character (plus the fact he doesn't realise I've got a real life boyfriend I'm perfectly happy with, and randomly calling someone hot has a negative connotation in my opinion). Either he really is an 11 year old who will never learn how to respect females the way they should be, or he just thinks I'll fall head over heels for him in an instant and give him 60% of my net worth.

They're just idiots, and as soon as they approach me I dismiss them and never have another thought on the matter. It's not that big of a deal that some kid sitting in the dark at 3 AM with empty soda cans laying all about called you a nerd because you have a higher level than he does; I know perfectly well I've got more social skills than a sad little kid like that. ;]

There is this button...I use it often myself, but apparently others don't...Well let me just show you what it looks like.

Ya, learn to love it. I hardly talk personally when I play and it makes me a lot happier. Arguing with 11 year olds just isn't my thing. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised we are talking about this. I mean can an 11 year old really use gender discrimination? I bet if you had a 5 minute conversation with him he'd probably change his tune. I doubt most of them can even comprehend how hurtful what they are saying is. Most probably just say it just to get attention, just like they post spam on websites...in forums...that doesn't add to their post count...(okay that last part was cheap shot...just getting sharpened up for hockey season).

That'll be right. Little attention seekers.
On a couple of occasions while woodcutting I've had some obnoxious people trying to get me to talk and whatnot (which is common but I shall continue) and I've bothered to talk to them. They still can't help but insult me for a while but by the time they leave they're actually sounding nice. It's also funny what kind of impact one can have on those little people - some of them actually start using full words instead of shorthands after a while of talking.

Anyway that's going off topic a bit I guess.
Back on the topic, the whole issue is just childish. If you do really have a problem with someone though, use the ignore list, otherwise just literally ignore them, walk away if possible, you know how it goes. I'm personally quite a fan of conventional ignoring; there's no one on my ignore list.

I don't know much girls in runescape, but that doesn't mean that they cant be better than boys.

For reference know Rule 1 is for that kind of sexist remarks as it is offensive to females! I for one believe we are equal although we have our differences that make us different (We are humans and not mass produced look alike machines). Still morons like that need to get a life or walk a mile in their shoes! I have they are pretty shoes but just rude morons around. I tip my hat to the girls that play and go through that mess.
