Girl Gamer-related Stamp

Description

This is dedicated to any fellow gamers out there that deal with this crap. [WARNING, RANT BELOW! :ohnoes:]

I've been dying to get this one out; I've been getting a lot of crap from other people in popular online games (ex. TF2) and vice versa because of the mentioning of Girl in my username. :hmm:

I came up with and have been using the username ShadowGirl7 for over 7 years, before having "Girl" in a username meant I was desperate for attention. :|

And I get a lot of crap from people, mainly guys (most likely trolls) making stupid comments when I join a game and suddenly: "Oh, she's a girl gamer! She's gonna give nude pix for free items!", "Oh its a guy pretending to be a girl!" and other bulls**t. :facepalm:

People should be free to have usernames like this without having to be criticized or mocked for it. I'm not forcing everyone to do this, but if you're comfortable having Boy/Girl in your username and you like it, go for it!

Update: I originally had this marked as containing "MATURE CONTENT" due to the mentioning to the mentioning of a particular word here... but someone at the DA Help Desk told me this when I inquired about if this honestly required one:
The mature content tag for 'strong language' is always voluntary; we don't moderate for strong language in comments, journals and other places of the community so deviations are not held to any different standard; place the tag if doing so makes you feel more comfortable, but it's not required.
So, unless anyone else has issues with this, it's going to remain unmarked, since it's not attacking anyone nor has the intention of doing so.

Feel free to use the stamp in your journals (or vice versa) if you want! :D

Sorry for the late comment, thanks for making this stamp, I predict that I may encounter this problem in other games that's not TF2 and using my Nintendo gamertag (In my Team Fortress 2 experiences, there's the occasional people mistaken me for a pre-teen boy or a transgender. Usually they don't pay attention to my genderand/or ask a thing about it. I am more likely to get fun of my Pokemon theme gamertag.)
