Heh, quite amusing. And just a few of the many reasons I'm a staunchly solo PvE player. Oh, I know not everyone in MMO's are jerks, just the most vocal ones, unfortunately.

I must admit, I had to laugh at the vid.  The nerdy guy with the glasses who logs in as a number and then doesn't know his buttons (a PC player gone console?) , seemed like he stepped off the set of Big Bang Theory.

 

..and the guy with the nerd rage.  um.  Well, I've not been immune to those myself, even in offline gaming...  and the sexist/racist, haven't we met him on gaming sites around the world?  etc.

That was very funny, Trav.  I like the girl who feels she has to pretend to be a guy so she won't get hit on all the time.  I suspect there might be some truth in that.

I've always played male characters in online games, but I've been so very tempted to play as a female character in an online game as a bit of a psychological experiment, to see how much of a difference it makes, and how much of that sort of thing goes on.

Well, on certain gaming sites even, I  feel I need to pretend to be a male, because I see what happens to the females who are open about their gender.

  The sexism rife in gaming is one of the reasons I love JA so much - it's one of the few sites where I feel I can be myself.

I tried playing a male chracter once. It unnerved me so much that I lasted about five minutes.
