Most of us guys take this truth to be self-evident. Let's delve in this universe where Tide flows like wine and free time is spent washing dishes. I should say that this article was inspired by Ming's post about Hafu and the recent CGS Draft in TX. This past week was in a sense sad for the eSports community.. and on another hand it was simply hillarious. This article is misogynistic, sexist, satirical, rude, blunt, offensive, not politically correct, and probably illegal. Enjoy.
No training bras
Sorry girls, there are no "training bras" when playing video games. I never had to wear anything in preparation for my rock-hard pecs. I had to work my ass of in my early teens to get me used to my perfect physique. In a sense, I feel the need to recollect Zoolander's quote about the "misshapen ball of clay". I am that ball of clay. Molded.. and shaped... and.... But I digress; training bras clearly make women a weaker species in the eyes of gamers. Take this stock photo I found, for example:

Braces, shell necklaces, and training bras have no place in video games. Clearly "Dance or Die!" alludes to "Dance around the kitchen washing dishes or get maimed by your husband and die, *****!". Yet again, we notice the clear anti-girl-gamer attitude we find in the mass media (and, as we'll find out in just a minute, rightfully so). Contrary to popular, or should I say, 'feminist' belief, "Dance or Die!" is NOT a variation of the atrocious DDR or a track on the equally-atrocious Guitar Hero.
The CGS
The CGS is the first franchise that completely took advantage of all assets given by the female species for the pleasure of men (including tna). Take Belle for example: Belle sleeps with moto (Dave Geffon; a GM). Dave is able to keep Belle in the CGS, although she had the embarassing record of 0-12 last CGS season. What game does she play you ask? Dead or Alive. Yep, you heard it here first: Dead or Alive blows dick. Who cares about fighting games? No one. Maybe if they brought a game that actually took skill (MK comes to mind), people would actually tune in to DirectTV. Last season for Belle? Summarized briefly in one googled picture:

Sorry Belle, you just got your head ******* blown off. Better get back to the kitchen. I mean even Nick DePalmer (peekay) had a better record than Belle (although he plays an equally-horrid game: FIFA). And peekay was ditched, while Belle was kept quietly in the CGS with a mouthful of sweet sweet Geffon plums.
1337 Lauren
1337 Lauren is another funny phenomenon. She's got the loudest mouth on IRC, on forums, in the game. She even has a pathetic IRC fanclub. Essentially, she's the Ann Coulter of the eSports community; she was also picked for some sort of CGS farm team or whatever this draft (I don't really follow CGS, I just crack on it). Anyway, she's on my friends list on mySpace, and as much as I hate ragging on one of my 5,000 friends, I have to say that she's terrible at CS. She was CAL-p for a while (err.. she was ON a CAL-p ROSTER for a while), also there's some funny little pictures circulating. There's also other strange phenomenons, take Pagne (Nibbler's ex-gf), for example. Most of you that heard my 1st rap (and shifty's reply) know that a) she's bad b) she's ugly c) according to shifty, crusty. Not getting into any details there....

No one cares. First of all, it was in CANADA (upcoming article; Canada: Land of the French, home of the Cheaters), and second of all.. IT WAS IN CANADA. No one probably wanted to dig through 37 feet of snow to get out of the igloos and go to some 56k modem LAN center.. which was also in an igloo to win some gay award NO ONE CARES ABOUT (because it was in Canada). Now, what I'm wondering is who's nuts were in that big mouth of hers when she got CGS drafted.
Hold up, it gets better
1337 Lauren plays three WoW characters (70s); can you guess what classes?



Halaa
So, anyway, yesterday I was being amazing as usual when I hear a distress call over in Halaa, so I go check it out. I round up some alliance, get them all on vent to strategize our Halaa take-over, and away we go. Clearly, with me in the lead, it was a breeze. After much deliberation and amidst our ass-kicking, we could only contrive one theory: we were actually playing against GIRLS. HAH. That's why it was so easy to completely obliterate the Horde's forces. Anyway, I took a screenshot to remind us of how horrible girls are at video games:
WoW
With Ming's new article, a lot of attention has been drawn towards Hafu, girl-gamer extraordinaire. Top druid in the world with mirror-pics of awesomeness:

What the ****. Honestly. Stop playing WoW and get a makeup kit. You're NOT good. Playing a druid in 2s with the easiest possible makeup (druid/warrior) DOES NOT make you the best. At least try something exotic (Nihilum's Druid/Hunter comp comes to mind), but honestly this is just sad. If we want to consider any druid being the "top player" in the world, we might as well give HER a prize, too:

Now, I shouldn't be such a jerk. My old girlfriend (err.. CAL|Benson lol?) actually played for Deus Vox. But can you guess what class she played? If you guessed anything easy, you're right. She was a shadow priest. Cruise control for fail.
Girls that ARE good
Now, some girls are actually decent (or maybe even good) at video games. SK Ladies come to mind, so do some girl teams that play in that abortion of a league.. what is it called.. oh man... oh yeah, the MLG. So I'll explain this phenomenon with a story. Now, most of the CS community knows who I am. I'm a loud-mouthed *******, and for those of you that were there, know that I almost got kicked out of NMA Arena in 2006 for cursing, Cyberzone for just being a prick, NMA AGAIN for cursing. Anyway, the point is that I curse more than a well-raised baptist boy should. When I was at BUY.com LAN last year (March 2007) I had the pleasure of meeting the SK Ladies (lol).. actually pbmatrix (Brandon McLeod for those who know him) wanted to talk to them since we were bored and our team was getting stoned.
Bottom line: they curse more than I do.. they have the biggest sailor-mouths I've EVER heard on LAN. And trust me, I've been to a ton of LANs. Point in case: girls that are good at video games are NOT actually girls. According to my studies, they might not even have ******s. I'm not 100% sure, however.

FAKE. She is NOT good at videogames. You can clearly notice she's holding the controller completely wrong. Anyway, who plays guitar hero in sexy lingerie? Thanks a lot Guitar Hero Marketing Department. This is the kind of pro-girl-gamer propaganda we DON'T need.

These are the SK Ladies. Notice the lack of lingerie, the grainy quality of the image; lack of breasts, makeup, flowing blonde hair, and g-string reveals the true nature of the SK Ladies: they are actually guys. Case in point:

This heshe is clearly good at video games. And most likely BETTER at video games than most pure-bred guy-gamers. I hope I cleared up any misconceptions regarding girl gamers vs guy gamers when looking at the apparent success of the SK 'Ladies'.
What next?
I suggest and I'm pushing a proposition for the ESRB to pass a new Media Logo that can (and should) be used to differentiate between games that girls will never be good at (Counter-Strike, WoW, CoD, DoD, Quake, DOTA, etc, etc), and games that girls can be good at (because you can't suck at them): The Sims, The Sims 2, The Sims: Nightlife, The Sims Online, The Sims: Full House, The Complete Collection of the Sims, and anything else that involves Sims and not being able to suck.

People like you should shut the **** up and learn that there is a 1% population of the girls in the world that game that are ANY good at it. This blog has done nothing but point out the obvious to that, all you're trying to do it be the knight in shining armor to the ladies standing up for them, hoping to get some epoon.

Also, less than 1% of men are actually good at wow, doesn't that tell you something? I mean, gladiator rank is 0.5%, and there's a lot of retarded people that get gladiator. Btw, don't even try to start *****ing about my ratings, you don't want to go there. Thanks.

How good you are at something has nothing to do with gender, it has all to do with how interested you are in that particular thing. You're morons for not realizing this. diaf.

You didn't sign your post with "your hero, Vir"
Please don't let it happen again. Your lack of e-stardom depends on it.

You can be very interested in something and still suck. There are fairly obvious examples of this in life.
For example, you're very interested in this topic, so much so that you replied 3 times, yet all your replies suck. That ruins your theory of 'it has all to do with how interested you are in that particular thing'
Your Hero,
Vir
PS-YOU FAIL

I sent you some PM's, so you know how I feel specifically 
But seriously, girl gamers should get NO extra attention, unless they are GOOD, ie, tournament accomplishments, etc. Taxi players don't count.
WoW takes little to no skill compared to a FPS or 1v1 RTS, 1v1 FPS, etc. Havin a bunch of level 70's doesn't mean you have SKILL, it means you have too much time on your hands. Amirite?

"WoW takes little to no skill compared to a FPS or 1v1 RTS, 1v1 FPS, etc."
that is total bull****, firstly 1v1 FPS proves nothing about skill in respects to tactics, gamesense, knowledge, etc. and to say that WoW takes no skill is one of the most retarded things i hear people say.
also if people are getting to 70 in 1 days played time then having 70s doesnt say anything about the amount of time you have on your hands

"firstly 1v1 FPS proves nothing about skill in respects to tactics, gamesense, knowledge, etc."
Are you ******* kidding me? You're obviously haven't played 1v1 FPS (ie. Quake, Unreal Tournament) on a competitive level. If you did, you would understand how wrong you are. You need to constantly outsmart your opponent in a 1v1, know the maps, know tricks to the map, time items on the map, like Mega Health, which is every 35 seconds, Red Armour, 25 seconds, Yellow armour, 25 seconds, get control of the map, have excellent reflexes, very good aim, etc.
In terms of physical skill, 1v1 FPS beats WoW to no end. In terms of thought process, it still beats it. You go play competitive 1v1, and come back to me when you've won zero games. I've played WoW, I know how it works, I know how terrible it is. Why do you think I went back to 1v1?

Oh, and did I mention strafe jumping? The most complex movement and hardest to learn movement in any FPS game? Lets see you make it from RL to RG on Dm6 in under a week learning VQ3 movement.

I'm a girl and...I agree with A LOT OF THIS.
I don't understand why girls get special attention, but I DO think there are talented girl gamers out there.
So the generalization of all females is kinda, um broad I guess? As a girl though- you're right guys do kind of dominate the field. Doesn't mean it should ONLY be for guys though- especially if I girl IS trying to excel and be up to speed.

Funny stuff davvv.
I read your disclaimer, so no offense taken.
But now for the reality.......... some day you will meet a girl,get married, have a baby...and IT WILL BE GIRL and guess what.........she will grow up to be a Pro-Gamer and she will kick your A** on every game you touch!
Mark my words, it happend to me, it will happen to you!
So now days my motto is......the only thing a guy can do that a girl can't do is write their name in the snow. (I'm referring to by taking a pi**) And I really believe if a girl wanted to bad enough, they would figure out how to do that one too.
