Why are prople so Triggered...

Did I say every woman who ever corrects anyone is only doing it purely for self-gain? Oh boy.

With that said, I do think it's quite petty in many situations, and it makes me giggle a bit when I see it. Jumping back specifically to games, it is quite well-known you can get tons of attention/goodies just for being female, or even just claiming to be. I think plenty of people take advantage of this in games.

As mentioned previously, there are obviously times where it may help to correct someone. Much like how I told you I'm female myself, because the way you were phrasing things makes it seem like you thought I was male. Some people just also dig their gender, hey, cool. You do you, but I can still think you're silly for correcting someone if it has no importance to the topic itself.

You certainly IMPLIED that every female who does this is doing it to gain some kind of advantage. You may not THINK it yourself, but even your joke at the end of your previous post strongly suggested you do think it( I'm female too, haha give me your money, with the last phrase crossed out) Your statement that you're female too became a provocation when you added the crossed-out addendum.

You're entitled to think what you like about anyone you meet in RL, online or in games, of course. But sweeping generalisations like this will skew your viewpoint at the very least and may possibly make you sound like a judgemental or prejudiced fool. So probably best to keep them to yourself.

I am happy to accept that you didn't mean this the way it sounded, that these women are merely 'silly' in your opinion, rather than manipulative. But since this whole thread is about folks being triggered, it's perhaps unwise to treat something as a joke that maybe distressing to someone else.
