Why are so many people just dying to believe crap like this is true?
I've got about half-a-dozen young, female .alts all over the net and it doesn't matter what random, inane rubbish I post (certainly as bad as Hot_Lil_Witch's shtick), the only boards who are ever fooled are the geek topic boards - supposedly the smartest people in the universe.
lol
I'm not really sure what you are getting at?
Maybe Lil Witch is not a real poster. So what?
I am a real poster and I was once not "allowed" to join a gaming group because I am female. So I don't find her (or his if it's a guy posing the question) OP to be that far off. The OP is a perfectly legit concern of some female gamers. Lucky for me I found a real gaming group. And those guys who wouldn't let me play are the ones who lost out on having another player in their group.
We get new posters here every day, as with another message board I frequent (which is not a geek topic, unless you consider travel planning to be geeky). There was a time when EVERYONE here had 2 posts. Some people lurk forever and don't post until they have a serious concern.
I'm not 100% sure if Lil Witch is a real person or not, or just a troll trying to rile people. But whatever the OP was intended to do, I think it started a very interesting discussion, not to mention has spawned a few other gender related topics. This stuff is very interesting to those of us who are interested in gaming as it pertains to sociology.
No one ever said gamers were the smartest people in the universe (hmmm, I think there are threads about that somewhere). And your notion that "geeks" would be fooled by a female post that wasn't real doesn't really mean they are stupid...maybe it means we're just more trusting and willing to help out a fellow gamer in need of advice.
Gender doesn't really have much to do with it.
And if you have a fetish for posting on message boards as a woman when you are in fact a man, that's your right , I guess, if it gives you some sort of deranged pleasure. But I personally don't get it?? Is that actually....fun...for you?
