  • Dam,you're good.

  • Good video, but my favorite part has to be the second half. Sandwich... ATTENTION WHORING OH GAWD. It parodies well the tendency for anyone who points out legitimately sexist behavior gets targeted with that behavior instead of being able to engage in dialogue about it. Props for calling it out and being so snarky about it.

  • I thought you had to be pretty and actually have cleavage to be an attention whore. Not some fatty bull dyke lesbian type.

  • @MastodonManiac meh, if it worked for Ethel Merman, it can work for me. P.S. Troll harder, n00b

  • @kulturvultur So make me a sandwich and other things guys say to women are "not witty" and "lack intelligence" but troll harder n00b is pretty high brow stuff eh?

  • This video is brought to you by someone who just doesn't get it.

  • Thank you for posting this video :) I love it. People need to stop nit-picking at things that girls do in videos like the Girl Gamer Manifesto. Yup, we like to wear makeup. Yes, we sometimes wear shirts that show a little cleavage. (if we didn't you'd just say we look like we're virgins, don't lie) Yes, we like to game as much as anyone else. No, we don't like being talked to with little to no respect. And some of us *gasp* barely cook. To commenting haters: please stop attention whoring :)

  • As far as I understand people called it attention whoring because "Don't sexualize us!" (video posted by username SEXYnerdGIRL) "Don't pay attention to our gender, we're all gamers!" (Everyone states "I am a woman").

    If you really can't see the irony in this...

  • this video and the comments are bad

  • :):):)

  • Thank you!

  • I have met good and bad players of both sexes, and various sexual orientations whilst gaming. Some girls flaunt their sexuality and others hide their gender entirely. Best bet is to take everyone as you find them and find their boundaries on humour and sex and everything as you get to know one another.

    The original video is an insult to an already level playing field. I know many female gamers.

    This response is moronic as I don't think the author understands the meanings of the works she uses.

  • You know why it is attention whoring?'Cos they are whining about a problem that doesn't even EXIST! That Gamer Girl Manifesto video is pointless beyond belief.

    Right now,a lot of women are gamers and most of them at least appreciate games,so it's not rare to see a girl holding a controller.I hate how us men always are the douchebags even when don't do shit.Fuck this.

  • Why does a woman have to draw attention to her gender when it comes to game playing? That video could have easily enough been "gamer" manifesto, but it wasn't, and if experience means anything, we know WHY. THAT is the problem with attention whoring, and that video. It is believed that the primary focus is given to "GIRLS are making a video about GAMES(!)" as apposed to a "PEOPLE are making a video about ETIQUETTE", and I wholeheartedly agree. A "gamer girl manifesto" is inherently whorish.

  • @shoopoop21 By your logic, then, gays who collectively organized to march for gay pride instead of "everybody" pride are being attention whores...and their movement accomplished only drawing attention to themselves. It disturbs me that this video outrages you more than the countless misogynistic comments on their page.

  • @kulturvultur that's a shitty analogy, and I think you're too smart for that, and the analogy belittles actual discrimination. The gaming community already tolerates women. Women aren't being denied from purchasing games, or excluded from playing on gender alone. What they're broadly asking for, is to be treated like everyone else.

    The super duper secret secret though, is that the already are. What many really want is social immunity within the gaming community.

  • @shoopoop21 I see your point and think there is some truth to that with some women. However, I personally see a lot of misogyny within gaming in regards to comments and harassment many women receive that men don't. All of the points that I personally covered in my video were points I have personally witnessed over the last few years.

  • @kulturvultur That same discrimination, and scrutiny is handed out to everyone, men included. I've played a lot of video games, for a long time, and I can count on my hand how times where the VOIP has turned into legitimate, unprovoked, gender based harassment.

    If you're disagreeing with me as to where provoked begins and ends, consider this.

    xXx420errdayxXx is seen very similarly to NERDGIRLKUWAI. it is a first strike. However, the drug community doesn't make manifestos.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol she's funny

  • I think it's attention whoring, but of the inspirational kind. Either you attention whore for sexual gratification or you attention whore to prove a point. It's all the same thing. Someone feels oppressed, so they attention whore to feel satisfied. I say if you need that attention for whatever reason, you be bad with yourself. At the end of the day, we are all humans and as humans we are never satisfied. We are always upset about something. And we are always trying to find that equilibrium.

  • @aoabai You have absolutely, positively, no idea what attention whoring is, and it is excruciatingly obvious. You're wholly uneducated on the lingo being used here.

  • @shoopoop21 Each statement I made was in direct reaction to specific comments made on the gamer girl manifesto. And I'm fairly certain I know what an attention whore is because I'm shamelessly am one and don't think there is anything wrong with that.

  • @kulturvultur "Either you attention whore for sexual gratification or you attention whore to prove a point"

    Attention whoring is doing annoying, controversial, or otherwise provocative shit for the sole sake of getting attention. An attention whore does not care which, any attention at all is the objective. Basically, its like trolling, but out of a compulsion, not out of humor.

    You don't know what you are talking about, so just shut up already.

  • @shoopoop21 For someone who doesn't want to hear what I have to say...you seem pretty avid on trying to keep the dialogue open. If I am a troll, and you are so savvy in the ways of trolling...why do you keep coming on to my board to feed me? Do you really have nothing better to do?

  • @kulturvultur I am so fucking sorry. that response was meant for someone else. Now I have egg on my face.

    D:

  • @shoopoop21 That's your opinion, my opinion is a little different. We expressed it, we disagreed. We move on. I have Youtube saved on my computer, so that I can go directly to my account, because when I go to the main page, I see all that drama and attention whoring. Then I get involved because I'm oppressed too. I need my attention whore fix. I shouldn't have even watched the video. At the end of the day, this stuff doesn't matter. Do what you do and be happy. Who cares about everyone else?

  • @aoabai definition is not a matter of opinion. You do not GET to have your own definitions to words and pre-established language.

    I do not care how you get to youtube.

    You are not oppressed.

    You do not know what you are talking about.

    But you probably are an attention whore.

    Get over yourself.

  • @shoopoop21 It's still your opinion and I still stand by my opinion. Both opinions are pointless. This whole thing is pointless. At the end of the day, people will do or not do what they do, or not do. And they have the right to do that. Like I said, I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for my accidental erasing of the URL to the main page. We would have never interacted if it wasn't for that. And after five or so exchange responses, we will never interact again. And we will forget.

  • @aoabai It is not your opinion. You do not get an opinion on what a word means, which is apparently something you've already tried with the words fact, and opinion. Read a damn dictionary.

  • @shoopoop21 Attention whore is not in the dictionary. It's actually a societal phase that has many perspectives. This whole attention whoring melodrama on Youtube is about what an attention whore is. Look, you're oppressed, but you show it more aggressively. I'm oppressed too, but I show it with more victimization. It's all the same thing. Have you checked my profile yet? Do you think you have the well-power to stop relying to me? Petty insults, anyone? That's traits of an attention whore.

  • @aoabai I meant opinion, and fact. These words are in the dictionary.

    You have already shown that you have no grasp of internet lingo.

    You have a very visible victim complex, and its fairly obvious that you are, indeed, an attention whore.

    I am a white heterosexual male.

    While society tends to blame my demographic for the worlds evils, I am not oppressed.

    You are not oppressed.

    You don't know anyone who's oppressed.

    You don't know shit about me.

    You are a dumb, ignorant bitch. Shut up already.

  • @shoopoop21 Attention and whore separately are in the dictionary.The phase attention whore isn't in the dictionary. But, if you look at Urbandictionary, it's there because it's a lingo created by people and adjusted for people.That is why people can easily make definitions on UD. I could do that right now and my word would be God.

  • @aoabai Urban dictionary is crap.

  • @shoopoop21 I agree.

  • @shoopoop21 And in my opinion, you're throwing a fit because you're oppressed about something. Maybe you're ugly and don't get laid. Opression isn't just race, sex, etc. It's about not being good enough and having that thing/person who is better, usually the one controlling society push you down for being the worthless piece of shlt you are. But, you're not worthless. That's just society telling you that you are. Some people react with victimization like me and some people go hulk like you.

  • @aoabai That's not what oppressed means. Go buy that dictionary I talked about. Come back with sixth grade reading comprehension and we might be able to have a civil conversation. At this stage, I don't think you are worthy of my, or anyone's respect.

  • @shoopoop21 Fine, I'm poor because I'm economically oppressed due to racial profiling, so I can't buy that dictionary you speak so highly of. Now, what you gonna say to that? I'm going to attention whore my ass and do some looting to protest against this injustice. YEA! RIOT! That will prove a point. No, you know what? I'm going to make a Youtube video. You're see.

  • @aoabai If you can afford internet, but not book, or at least a library card, then you have screwed up priorities.

  • @shoopoop21 I'm at a 24 hour internet cafe. All I need is a quarter to inset in the computer to get at least 4 hour access. The only reason I have a quarter is because I beg for it every few hours. But, odd... I can never get enough quarters to buy a book. People these days. They are so selfish.

  • @aoabai Library books are free.

  • @shoopoop21 No, I don't think so. You said BUY IT. Now, I'm fixated on buying the dictionary I can't afford. It's typical of a guy to change things on a girl all of sudden. TYPICAL! This is why we are oppressed. We can't figure you guys out because you constantly changing things BECAUSE YOU RULE THE WORLD and we are nothing!

  • @aoabai This has been silly for a while now. I'm done.

  • @shoopoop21 Yay, I win. You lose. Muahahahaha.

  • @aoabai you smell bad and have no friends

  • @bcwizardful I'm pretty sure you aren't much of a nice smelling socialite neither. And before, you start denying it... the simple fact that you are here replying to me... proves my point. You're not much if you are wasting your valuable time doing this.

  • @aoabai what a great comeback

    it took me 2 seconds tops to type that out

    wow what a waste of time

  • @bcwizardful It's not a comeback. I have no need to insult you because I don't feel threatened. It's just an opinion. Who makes the implication that someone doesn't have any friends and smell? I think it's someone who feels or is lacking within their society. As in you feel oppressed in real life, and you need to be a hardass online to total strangers to feel satisfied. Hey, me wasting my time replying to you shows how I'm oppressed too. So, hey... if you need to do this, more power to you.

  • @shoopoop21 insert* Damn you R. Damn you to hell. 

  • awkwaaaaard

  • What you did wrong is be less attractive than those girls.

  • @dogspawn You're totally right. I should do a follow-up post: Attention Whoring for the Homely and use Ethel Merman, Liberace, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Andy Warhol...the list can go on and on...as examples.

  • @kulturvultur Looking forward to it!

  • Oh, biting sarcastic wit. Love it. ;)

  • You claim to fight against being defined by your gender and you try to achieve it by making a making video all about your gender. I mean the original "gamer girl manifesto" video. Seriously, how does that work?

  • @qzublah I don't think that is what they are claiming to achieve or fight against. Yes, it is a group of women talking about sexism (as well as racism and homophobia). Is this also your argument against the civil rights movement? That black people shouldn't have organized against racism because they were calling attention to their race just by having black skin? I'm not comparing the video to civil rights but trying to understand your logic.

  • @kulturvultur

    First of all "I'm not comparing the video to civil rights..." you kind of just did. Also "Is this also your argument against the civil rights movement?" Where in my comment did I bring up race and why do you assume that I'm racist? Anyway, concerning racism, sexism and homophobia I think Morgan Freeman said it the best that the best way to fight against all of this is not to talk about it and only identify ourselves as human beings and make no distinctions beyond that.

  • @qzublah I was not comparing the video to civil rights I was pointing out the fundamental flaw in your argument by using the logic of your argument on another example. If your argument was solid it could be applied in other instances. The fact that you think I'm implying your a racist when using your argument in another instance is very telling. Interesting quote about Morgan Freeman...too bad he can't seem to live up to his own promise. I wonder why. Cheers.

  • @kulturvultur

    "The fact that you think I'm implying your a racist when using your argument in another instance is very telling." Now that I look at it I do admit that seems to be the case, but that isn't my position. I'm sorry if I made it unclear... oh wait, I didn't. You just brushed it off because Morgan Freeman "can't seem to live up to his own promise. I wonder why." What's up with that?

  • @qzublah I'm still not implying you are a racist. I think you have a very wonderful idea. But it is very idealistic. Morgan Freeman came out accusing the Tea Party of racism after he said: everyone needs to stop talking about racism. Why was that? I don't think people will stop being racist if people of colour stop talking about it. I don't. Racism/sexism is cultural and a learned behaviour and can also be unlearned through dialogue.

  • you sound buthurt

  • @LaxeCas Yes, coordinating conjunctions always give me problems...but

  • Terrible attempt to negate the problem... Your agenda is painfully obvious!

    ohjustshutup com

  • Ok so 3:36 was hilarity. The rest is thereputic for you i'm sure, but its ok, no one actually listens to the idiots who troll sammiches and such. They are just trolling and I have yet to meet such a depraved individual in the 'real world'

  • Attention Whore! Stop showing your cleavage so people will view your video, and don't act like you didn't put an Xbox controller in the video so people would comment on it. Oh and by the way, you need a lot more lipstick, and you need to learn to make my sandwich right! Stop being a drama queen just because a guy told you to suck his dick. Just the fact you show your face is being an attention whore. Next time leave the tape over your mouth! Wait..Why am I the only one playing this game?

  • @ZombieLandRule101 ahaha...hilarious :)

  • @ZombieLandRule101 Inb4notanxboxcontroller lol

  • XD!!! Funny

  • You're a mark.

  • I don't get it. Where's the joke?

    Do you disagree with the original video or are you actually teaching other people to be leaches on society?

  • @gyrosplater yes, I am saying: Please be a leach on society by standing up against the misogyny you experience online. Because...you know...making a video on youtube like anyone else in the world is being lecherous and exploitive.

  • @kulturvultur Yes but using a term like "Attention Whore" in a video like this does no one any good, and I use the word "Leaches" because "SexyNerdGirl" just organized the video to make a quick buck off of Feminism and gaming in general. Listen people both male and female are passionate about Video Games and they can spot Phonies a mile away and Channel names like "SexyNerdGirl" do not help your case or her case at all.

  • @gyrosplater How are they making money off of feminism...I'd really like to know because I'd love to get some access to those funds myself. I don't see any problem with her name SexyNerdGirl: she feels sexy and an nerd and is saying those two things aren't mutually exclusive. What about this name so problematic for you?

  • @kulturvultur I'm not trying to come off as Misogynist, just realistic.

  • @gyrosplater I appreciate that. :)

  • @gyrosplater You're not very bright, are you. It's pretty obvious.

  • Lubly!
