And no I am not talking about the youtube that sells bathwater. I am talking about guys gatekeeping games from girls. Or women having to prove that they have indeed played that game when they go to a convention or cosplay a character on social media. Now, this particular conversation is not just about that. It’s also about backhanded compliments that some guys think is the way to go.
I can’t understand how this guy thought it was okay to ask if she has ever even played the game she was cosplaying a character from. First of all, it shouldn’t matter whether she has or not and it is none of his business. Not only that, the whole conversation just sounded clearly hostile from the start.

It almost bugs me how nice and apologetic she was at first. She brought up 2 “excuses” for what she did, even though she never did anything wrong at all. First “sorry for the slow reply, was having dinner” than “sorry for not talking much or not wanting to continue the conversation right now, tired and going to bed”.
Bugs me that she feels like she has to do this and like she owes him anything. Those are things that you might say to a good friend or to your boyfriend. Not to some random (and rude and creepy) stranger who feels like he has the right to your time and attention and kindness. She doesn’t owe him any response at all, and definitely doesn’t owe him an explanation or “good reason” for why she’s writing late or not at all. –qwstrfg













This has happened to me with way more guys than anyone likes to think. The worst is when you think you’re making a friend with shared interests, then not only do you have to qualify your interests to them and they turn on you when it’s obvious the fake friendship won’t turn into sex immediately.
Undoubtedly there are shitty women like this too, I just have experience with guys. On the flip side, the men that are in my life as true friends are phenomenal. –Loud-Green-9191
