Hi guys, Greytopher here, and I want to present to you a problem I find quite disturbing in the PMC community.



A little off topic...

So, to start things off, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to all of my lovely 180 subscribers (at this point) for subscribing and loving my blogs and projects I post frequently here. I've tried my hardest to achieve what I have today, and for that, I'm greatful. I just want to let you all know I have a couple of things up my sleve, like a new project being posted soon! I would also like to mention I'm a writer for the PMC newspaper with _Ezio_! Currently, I write Server of the Week, so please, subscribe to _Ezio_ for more PMC news! And now, the blog you've been waiting for...


Sexism in Minecraft and what I see...

When I talk about sexism, I'm not talking about just one gender. I'm talking about both sides of the argument; boys and girls (men and women, wutever d00d). I see a lot of this happen, and sadly, it's especially with girls.

Girls and Sexism - Minecraft/The internet

From what I see on Minecraft and the internet overall, girls are either treated like crap, or praised in ways that makes some guys jealous. From the crappy part, girls are treated differently from other people and/or groups of friends. I see comments as "Get off of Minecraft woman, and make me a sammich." and "Girls aren't suppost to play Minecraft, leave." Why? Why can't they play Minecraft? So what if it's thought as that boys are the ones who play video/computer games, it's not a girls fault for wanting to play, nor is it your problem that they are. If they decide to play, please, play nicely. I've seen too many occasions where girls are treated like crap JUST because they're a different gender playing video/computer games.

From another point of view, girls can be treated a different way but still treated "badly". For example, a girl is discovered on PMC. She posts one thing, which is mediocre, but it gains front page in an instant. Say that a guy posted something similar. He gets no credit whatso ever, and has to work harder than the other gender. I'm not trying to hate on girls, it's an observation I've noticed over the year I've spent on this website. I don't find that as a problem, my only concern is that since it's a different gender, she is taken differently, is my point. She will most likely be treated differently as long as she openly admits she's a girl. Oh well, harsh on us guys, but that doesn't give guys an excuse to bash on girls just because they get popular sometimes and we don't. Chillax bro, I'm only observing and reporting.

As for real life for what I see, women have these sterotypes that shouldn't really apply to this era anymore. No, they shouldn't go back to the kitchen and make you a sandwich, no they shouldn't stay at home and look after the children, and yes, they can go get their own job since we should be treated equally, men and women together. The only problem I have with this world as far as sexism goes, if a man and a woman have the same job, women get slightly underpaid. I find this unfair as employers think men should be able to withhold their ground and such, being the sterotype "man" their made out to be. I think by now, we should be able to get along nicely. Equality, right?




Guys and Sexism - Real life

When it comes to guys and sexism, there's only so much you can say. For one, they're not bashed on for being a guy, they're bashed on for how nerdy they look, or how unmanly they are. Unmanly. Man up. I HATE that expression. We don't need a society where we need to base our feelings of each gender off of how they look, or what a "man" should be able to do. The more you persist a boy of not being able to do something because he's not a man, the more he'll rebel, and feel bad about himself since he can't be a so called "man". (atleast in my case, this is what I think.)

I don't have much to say for guys, other then please, oh so please, don't worry about being a man. Technically, you're becoming a man between the ages of 11 - 18, and doing certain things in your life doesn't really make you manly. I urge you to not worry about those things, because (for me atleast) later in life, you'll have people tell you what you can and can't do based on what you do, look, or hear. You'll just have to ignore those kind of people, because they can never really understand a true stable society until all hatred towards one another is stepped aside.


When guys and girls but heads...

When it comes to guys vs girls, it can come in many different ways. In the best way I can see it, is it displaying here on this lovely website. As I said before, girls can post things and get "known" while sometimes guys have to work harder in order to be seen by others. I don't utterly care one way or the other. So what if one gets a little more known than the other, you should be proud, not jealous. This doesn't happen all the time, but I only bring this up because I've seen some blogs of people complaining about it. Please, feel good about the other person, just because it's a girl, doesn't mean it's an alien. Respect, bro.



My point being in this blog; do what you do. Ignore dem haterz. If you can't do something simply because you're a girl, or because you're not manly enough, show them up. Show them what it's like to be the real you.

I hope you liked this blog, I had a lot to talk about, and please, leave nice comments in the comments section down below.

I agree, all those morons should be ignored. You just can't debate with them since sexism literally cannot support itself, them haters will just deny all logic.
Anti-girl sexism backfires and consumes both genders in a storm of stereotypes!!!!

Since a lot of igns are pronouncable gibberish with a number at the end, it could be very easy to pass off as either gender... that could be an interesting experiment...

There isn't really a difference Minecraft wise other than the fact that the guys tend to be really flirty with girls (I'll tell you, the number of times somebody has assumed I was a girl is astounding).That and the number of sexually-provocative female skins (I personally don't think this is a problem as long as there are just as many non-sexual ones, I'm no square, breh)

In real life, peronally, I don't consider gender important, I don't believe in traditional gender roles, either. I identify as female because I identify more with 'feminine' traits. People who tell me to 'man up' really need to grow up and move on. In addition, there is the other end of the spectrum where misandrists who insist they are simply feminists go around saying that a guy saying they like their high heels or looking at them is some kind of violation of their rights, which is just as wrong as male-supremasists.

The thing that annoys me most is when other people act like they have some kind of obligation to tell you how to live your life. 

That's just my two cents.

I agree with Ink. There is no difference in minecraft exept that there are skins and they guys get all flirty. I once just joined a server and a guy that was friends (minecraft friends) with my crush (he likes me too)
Started flirting with me and saying we could online date. He finally gave up on me and then my little sister joined the server. He started hitting on her! Who does that. We are no different on minercaft exept they skins and how we play.

And in real life how they say guys need to "man up" YA RIGHT! Im going to do my little bro ass a example. He gets picked on alot and his twin gets all the girls so he gets kind of depressed. People pull stupid jokes on him and then he gets hurt. They start sying "man up dude, Its just a joke" NO ITS NOT A JOKE! People get their feelings hurt as well as their body. Why do people say man up when they are getting more mature! They dont need to man up to get girls. They just need to act like themselfs and be nice,  and be friendly, thats how to get girls.

Wow that was way too long! sorry guys

I don't see female Minecraft player any different from boys. I just hate it when typically you see boys worship them, and they act like they're goddesses or something. They're all flirty. I'm not saying it's a feminine quality, but nearly every girl I see on Minecraft is annoying to death. Not being sexist. I just came across that coincidence.

As for sexism in real life. I hate being a male because we're always depicted to be brutes, athletes, manly, and perverted so sometimes people see that as a good thing, and some get taken down that way,and I hate it. I'd also hate to be a girl so I really just don't want to live either way, but let me tell you the ONLY TRUE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH GENDER is that one has XX chromosomes and the other has XY chromosomes. There ya go. I know this post is super late yet I don't want to make a redundant blog.

Gaming is a male thing, that's why gamers are male, and not male AND female. Female office cleaners in Canada get paid just as much MONEY as a male construction worker. That's not fair because office cleaning isn't as dangerous as construction working, but they STILL get paid more money, just because they are female! Its not fair one bit.

Oh really? Gaming is a male thing? No. Absolutely not. Girls play video games too, if you say that gaming is a male thing, that's sexist. In fact, almost EVERY single child plays video games, like gamer said, it IS a uni-sex hobby.
