All in one
Dec
29th
This is what would happen if you took every entry from this website so far and rolled it into one big encounter. If you listen to one entry on this website from the whole month, this would have to be it.
Sitting here, I’m trying to figure out how this started. I’m betting that I entered a lobby while the RMPs on the other team were looking at the lobby leaderboards, they noticed my K/D ratio and assumed that I’m a camper. They really wasted no time in getting to the insults. The one guy goes from calling me a cunt, to telling me to get back in the kitchen, to calling me fat and going so far as to say that he hopes my boyfriend beats me. Stay classy.
Additionally, there is a new comment on the Case in Point page.
Transcript
[Haniver's note: This first recording is taken from when I first enter the gaming lobby.]
RMP1: Wow, look at this we got this fucking camping cunt.
RMP2: Holyyyyy shit.
RMP3: [making weird noises] Ahhh! AHHH!
RMP3: Jenny- ready to suck some cock?
[Haniver's note: This recording takes place after I played one game against this team, as we're sitting in the lobby waiting for the next game to begin.]
[predator missile as the game ends]
RMP1: Jenny you’re a campin’ fucking cunt!
RMP3: Oh, that’s impressive.
RMP1: Get the fuck back in the kitchen and take your goddamn hands off a fucking video game controller.
Me: Nah. Having too much fun.
RMP1: Fucking stupid bitch.
RMP3: Fat whore.
RMP1: I hope your boyfriend beats you. Nah, you can’t get a boyfriend. The fuck am I talking about.
RMP4: Green Bay, huh? Fuck you. [I had GBAY as my clan tag]
Me: [to my fiance who is listening with disbelief] Yeah I know, right?
RMP1: You sound like a fuckin’ man. Holy shit. You got a deeper voice than I do. That’s kinda fuckin’ creepy.
RMP3: She probably [unintelligible] smokes cigarettes by the pack.
RMP4: She drinks coffee, uhhhh tasty coffee bitch!
[game starts and people cut out as the lobby switches over]
RMP1: … know she’s fat!
Me: [laughter]
[Haniver's note: This recording comes after finishing the second game against this team. After this exchange, they backed out of the lobby.]
RMP5: So I can go get my claymores and go get my other gun? [ I was explaining to a guy on my team how the prestige tokens work]
Me: If you have prestige tokens, yeah.
RMP4: [unintelligible] …fuckin’ faggot!
RMP1: Go back to the same spot again you stupid fucking cunt. JESUS CHRIST. You’re a fuckin’ idiot.
RMP2: Let her be an idiot.
RMP6: You want her skills. That’s why you’re just jealous.
RMP1: Dude I went 23 and 6. Shut your punk ass up!
RMP3: You fucking suck.
RMP6: No, you!

Thank you, Jenny, for being brave enough to talk on the mic. I play BF3 and Red Dead Redemption all the time, but I fear using the mic because of people like this. I’m exhausted when I get home, and playing a vid is the only real unwind I have, but it’s people like this who detract from the experience. Sometimes, I feel like a failure as a female gamer for not using the mic. Thank you for doing what you do.

I’m thinking I’m lucky that I’m really not good enough at FPS to become a target. That or Australian RMPs are nicer, I’ve gotten one or two kitchen jokes in my year of playing that have been completely shut down by the other males in the game.

Wow, you can really sense the hostility in his voice. He REALLY felt that you wronged him. To be honest, the way he is, it seems that you being female wouldn’t have stopped him from attacking you. However, I definitely think it made him more angry and drove him to continually go after you.
I applaud you for not fighting back, Jenny. Way to take the high road and just let him make a huge ass of himself. This is a prime example: unprovoked harassment. I’m also glad that someone came in and said something. Kudos to guys who shoot down jerks like this.

I’ll be honest, RDR is awful no matter your sex. I can’t play that game without a posse. If you ever want someone to play with and feel comfortable talking to: MollyPopGirl is my gt =)

Never think that you are a failure for not wanting to use the mic because of rude jerks! It can be so exhausting to listen to this kind of crap. Gaming is all about having fun, and you don’t need a mic to do that. And thank you so much for leaving this comment- people like you are one of the main reasons I run this website.

I always love hearing about players defending each other. I don’t look at it as “white-knighting”… Rather, I think it’s just gamers standing up for their fellow gamers!

I am continuously amused by the fact that my mere existence in a game is enough to throw other players into apoplectic fits of rage.

I hardly ever talk when I play and when I do, it’s rare. I either get hate or hit on. Once, I got hit on once. And usually I only talk when people are hating on me or another player. Also, in response to the end of this post, I think I need some gin. That was terrible…

Just because some guys on XBL or PSN are douche bags and they don’t know how to treat people on their doesn’t mean that we’re all that way hell I play on daily basis with girl gamers and yeah sometimes they’ll be kicking my ass or i’ll be kicking theirs.

I understand that the actions of the few do not represent the actions of the many.
