You do realize that this is the exact same argumentation as ”I cannot be racist, I have many immigrant friends”, right?
Are there many other women on here/playing Elite: Dangerous?

- Start date
You would not beilieve some of the stuff ive seen
Yes I would!
Wow the thinly veiled transphobia in this thread is pretty horrible.
OP yes there are a fair few women playing this game, I guess choose not to reveal themselves though.

EDIT - never mind, arguing with you just isn't worth it.

CMDR Jenny Diver experienced this. I started her as a PvP CMDR but quickly decided to switch her over to exploration. The direct chats I was receiving were really creepy and inappropriate, and it made me feel very uncomfortable despite being a guy "behind the mask". Thankfully my wife rarely experiences this in RDO. Weird to think that RDO is "safer" than ED in this regards...
Yeah that was exactly my experience. There's pretty much nothing someone can say to me in chat in a game that will actually shock me, I've had death threats, sincere wishes that I get cancer, that my parents get cancer, that I die in a fire and God knows what else, usually after I've despatched the person concerned in an amusing or stylish manner and honestly it's just words on a screen to me, I can't even begin to care what some butthurt clown thinks.
Some of the stuff I got on that account though, it really makes you look at humanity in a different way because one thing I've never had on any game account anywhere that seems to be male, cis or otherwise, is abuse or indecency purely on the basis that I was a bloke, with no other context to it. I'm sure it does differ from game to game but this was about five or six years ago and I found myself thinking 'is this really where we're at almost two decades into the 21st century?'

I heard we were all just dust in the wind. 🌬
The reason I am "Old Duck" is because while a little boy at heart, I did not want actual little boys and girls, which make up the bulk of PS4 gamers, mistaking me as one of them. You hear these stories of older men pretending to be young kids for nefarious purposes, so I wanted to make it blatantly obvious to everyone that I'm an "old fella" who is just here to play games, not make friends with a bunch of obscenity-screaming 12 year olds (the main reason I turn off chat on PS4).
And then I joined the ranks of Elite Dangerous, where I'm closer to a "Spring Chicken" than an "Old Duck", relatively speaking. \O/

I hope in the future you will stop to reflect on how other people may interpret things different from yourself.
I am sure you are used to getting away with arguments similar to the ones you have presented in this thread without being called out on them, but having a ”gamer wife” in no way entitles you to speak for all female gamers. I do not pretend to do that either, I am merely pointing out that the mannerism displayed in this thread can easily be described as toxic to many - even if your wife does not find it so.
Half of it was from you
Edit: And to be clear about the levels that our exchanges slump to, earlier this week Leo was telling me about the delivery of premium 6oz burgers he is expecting from his butcher and I told him I hoped he got BSE lol
Obviously I regretted it later. Cows get BSE, I meant CJD...

Oh Emily!!!!
I never thought that one day I could be in love with a female duck.

What about a Male duck?I never thought that one day I could be in love with a female duck.

I think there is a woman here in the forum... but she's attracted by Thargoids
People who find toxicity everywhere are specifically looking for it everywhere. And considering todays safe space needing crayon munchers consider everything that they don't like to be toxic simply by point of it existing, I consider the source.
Cmdr's - your S̶J̶W̶ ideology is showing...and i believe Politics is against the rules...shhhhh!
I'm kind of restraining myself from sinking to your level here....So....
On topic -
I'm a dude - but i have bought copies of Elite for various female friends and family. (The more the merrier!)
This.
We must kill the Thargoids who steal our women.I think there is a woman here in the forum... but she's attracted by Thargoids
