Same thing in r/girlgamers before I left. It was obvious from the rules that transwomen were welcomed. All the posts with stuff like "trans setups" should have probably made it clear as well. Yet they still made posts going "am I welcome here?" So unnecessary. You're already accepted in the sub, so just contribute like any other person there.

OMFG TIMs post "am I welcome here?" posts in literally every god damn subreddit. It's so fucking annoying!

Literally every sub's sidebar has two paragraphs dedicated to how much they all love to suck TIM dick, but that's not enough for TIMs. They still feel the need to ask that question in every sub. They know the fucking answer, they just want to force people to actively participate in their fetish by commenting on the post.

"Am I welcome here?"="Hi everyone, please give me narcissistic supply! It's run out from 3 days ago when I asked the same thing in another female centric sub."

Everyone goes along with it too. I remember a post on that sub where a transwoman was talking about refusing to play any male characters in a certain game even if switching would benefit the team. The commenters were supportive of this, while I'm 100% certain they would have shred a "cis" man to pieces over deciding he refused to play any female characters.

My guy (straight as far as I know) is one that will play the woman character over the man if given an option. He said female voice actors were usually better. I think maybe watching a ladies' behind comes into play too lol

I can add to this. So there is a game called Asassins Creed:Odyssey where they wrote the game for a female character and started early production for a female character but Ubisoft higher ups forced them to give the option to play as a man because they were scared of how a female lead AC game would sell. So the male character got retconned in and is much worse in terms of acting and writing.

Not exactly a "team player", is he?

I feel like being trans could be classified as a mental illness on the need for validation alone. It's pathological.

It is super annoying. And everyone on every sub is acting like the crowd in The Emperor's New Clothes. No one is willing to speak the obvious truth!

"Hi, I Am Trans Am I Welcome Here?"

Like, Dude. Of course you are welcome here. STOP FUCKING PRETENDING. YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. There is only one "CORRECT RESPONSE" allowed on the entire site. Everyone must WORSHIP YOUR TIM DICK or otherwise they get banned and silenced!

It’s probably just a way for super mods with their sock puppet accounts to “weed out wrong thinkers”.

Yeah. Since nothing's ever enough, frankly, why bother at all?

And all the women are petrified to not oblige.

Came here to mention r/girlgamers. I have been subbed there for years and I hate what the sub has become. It went from an interesting and female centric gaming sub to 90% of the posts being "look at my new pink mouse".
The "am I welcome here" posts are so annoying too, read the sidebar will you? Of course you are welcome, if you weren't the sub would probably be banned. A lot of the active users (and mods) are trans and so many users are men (not trans women).

girlgamers helped me peak. What a fucking dump. Just a bunch of men orgasming over pink setups.

[–]firebird 23 insightful - 1 fun23 insightful - 0 fun24 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah that is a problem too. Last time I went over there I noticed a few people still bravely trying to post interesting content, only to go vastly underappreciated. I just gave up after that. No need to see pretty much the same post about 50 times over.

I'd love it if we could build a good community for female gamers on saidit. Like r/girlgamers used to/was supposed to be.

That sub has become so weird. I can totally understand why some people prefer pink color. It would be normal if people occasionally show off their set-up and it happens to be pink.....However with all those regular posts centered around the PINK, the atmosphere started to look creepy at some point. The funny thing is, in reality I have never known a single girl game who has a huge fetish on pink things. Just feels like it tries way too hard on over-emphasizing false stereotypes. On top of that, I have seen countless "cheap girls" from that sub. Many people are like venting machines for being treated terribly by male gaming friends/boyfriends while still defending and normalizing their toxic behaviours. AND the voices calling out those males being garbage end up getting downvoted for not sounding nice enough. I agree that it would be nice to build a female gaming community here. Or an independent website for female gamers and make sure it is controlled by women only.

Of course you are welcome, if you weren't the sub would probably be banned.

LOL, this is so true and hilarious.

Isn't it is the core of Gender/Queer theory?

Oh girlgamers has been overrun with trans people for a long time. It was one of the reasons I left, it was full of TiMs squeeing and orgasming over pink setups, posting hyperbolic OMG IT'S SO CUTE nonsense oneliners and drowning out women's voices.

The sad thing is the gaming environment is SO hostile to women that mostly male socialized people feel comfortable in it. Every time I see a "first woman wins tournament in [insert video or card game here]" I check and more often than not it's a transwoman.
