Ah, I love it when the kids leave the Barrens chat channel long enough to try interacting like real people. Suddenly all their supposed "wit" is exposed for the nuggets of dog shit that it really is. Gamer males make me ashamed to be a Tauren.

I love so much that almost any conversation in any decent part of the internet can be referenced back to an xkcd. Someday they’ll write an xkcd about how the entire internet runs on xkcds, and then the universe will truly implode.

he said, “Oh that’s internet slang for Lots of Love.” That is so adorable. (Reminds me of this xkcd.)

I am way late to the party here, but I just wanted to say that once my dad signed an e-mail LOL, Dad… which puzzled me as there was nothing funny in it. The next time I talked to him on the phone I asked why he did that, and he said, “Oh that’s internet slang for Lots of Love.” I lol’d. Now I tend to substitute that in my head, and I have to say, there’s Lots of Love Your Fat attitude around here!

Well…at least they (trollnonymous) spelled the word “fat” right. They probably needed to spellcheck “LOL”, though.

I totally didn’t have time to read that thread – but the regular posters were so frequently brilliant I did it anyway. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey everyone! I discovered this blog through another blog that I’d linked to from another blog…you know the drill. I really should be getting to my weekend chores but the Shakesville thread is teh funny. I noticed right on cue, the kewl dudez were trotting out the “OMG being fat so so unhealthy” canard. Let me get this straight: Shallow sexist pigs are worried about women’s health all of a sudden. These same jerks who openly advocate women sticking sacks of plastic goo in their chests, for example. Or don’t really give a shit if you are a size 2 because you smoke like a chimney, snort meth, or throw up every meal so long as you look hawt. Yeah, those guys. They’re just concerned about our health.

As both a gamer and a fat chick do the “gamer dudes” posting on said website not realize that the world’s general disgusting stereotype of THEM is indeed acne riddled fatass sitting alone in momma’s basement with carpal tunnel wrist guards on both wrists chugging down cases of red bull? I mean I get it from both sides, being fat and being a gamer, and an adult. I get to escape it a little because I live with my husband and have kids. But you know then I must be neglecting them for all that gaming I do. But I digress.

Granted the crop that Lis is likely pulling in seems to be the kind that are also in general misogynists the “hur hur hur ur a girl!” ones who like to call you sweet heart and honey on vent when they hear your voice for the first time.

It just seems to me that gamers in general would be a bit more sensitive to fat stereotyping and misrepresentation in media as they are generally stereotyped to be so themselves.
