Todays rant: "Gurl Gamers"

Ok, so I have been a gamer since I was but a child. I started off with the Atari 2600, and have since owned every major console, with but a few exceptions. Having being raised as I was, my main entertainment was gaming throughout my upbringing. So if anyone knows whats it like to be considered a "gamer" its me.

and that brings me to today's argument: Gurl Gamers. That wasn't a typo, I call them that because there is a major difference between a "Gurl Gamer" and a Girl who happens to play games... Let me explain the difference that bothers me so much.

Nowadays, its not odd to find a girl who hapens to play games, they are almost as common as guys who do. But the modern "Gurl Gamer" is a cross hybrid between an attention whore and your everyday egotist. A "Gurl Gamer" takes advantage of the current "Geek = Chic" phase going on in the mass media by overtly displaying her immense love of games publicly. This usually isn't anything that would piss me off, but these girls take it to a whole new level.

Often, I find myself checking out a website about some new game, and see a self-proclaimed "Gurl Gamer". Suddenly, I catch myself chewing off my tongue to keep from screaming so loud that S.W.A.T. is called. They often like to take slutty pictures of themselves in "erotic" poses with various consoles that they seem to think makes them seem retro and cool such as the SNES. Any time that video games are mentioned, they seem to want to scream "OH MY GOOOOOOD, I LOOOOVE GAMES! I played Zelda, and Mario on the SNES when I was a kid! Yes, I know... A GIRL who PLAYS GAMES!". Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is, but it urks me to no end. I guess by their view, games are for guys only, but they can do it too, so that makes them hot and cool.

Let me lay this in perspective for you ladies... Lets say you are sitting around with your gal-pals, disgussing how you recently learned how to make some new cake, or cookie, or dinner (since, by your logic, a womans job is to cook, and stay out of a mans way), when all of a sudden I come bursting through the door, screaming "OH MY GOOOOOD, I LOOOOOVE COOKING! I can make instant noodles, Tuna salad, Jello no bake pies, and hot dogs! I KNOW! A GUY who CAN COOK!". So then, I run to the nearst supermarket, buy all the instant food I can find, Take a bunch of pictures of me naked with the boxes covering the naughtiest of bits, and post it online calling my self a "Guy Cook", all the while, utterly REFUSING to wear any t-shirt that isn't a microwavable food item.

And thats why I cant stand "Gurl Gamers". They, for lack of a better phrase, piss me off to no end. Remember guys, If she looks like this:
...Then she is a girl who just happens to play games.
But if she looks like this:
Then she is a "Gurl Gamer" and should be kicked in the cunt as hard as possible to ensure she fails to breed.

Once again this has been "For lack of a better blog...", feel free to get pissed and argue pointlessly in the comments section.
