FFXIV Girls only discord server

[Crasherino]

Nah, you're comparing an attempt to create a space where gamer girls, a minority in a male-dominated world,

Do you have some facts to prove this statement? pretty sure you're just pulling this thought out of your head, as last I actually read is that women aren't a minority in gaming anymore and it's not been that way for years, what you may be thinking of is that females don't tend to let them selves be known at random that they're a female (especially on games with comms) due to how an unfortunate set of males my act upon figuring that out, and the assumption is "male until proven female", now what may still be dominated is male games developers in where it's still not a nice split with male to female developers.

I'm curious as to how they even verify that only women are in the server. "Voice verification" isn't worth much these days. Just check out a few VRChat videos on youtube and you'll see how sophisticated some of the voice changers are these days. You've got 30 year old guys sounding like a teenage girl and vice versa, and it's damn near impossible to tell.

Just here to reiterate what's been said a million times and that's that women only spaces on the internet will absolutely never exist
It'll never exist. Trolls will get in or at least one girl will have to drag her drooling boyfriend in and after that the others want to bring in theirs too and just like that we're stuck with exactly what we were trying to avoid in the first place. Just like that you have them slipping into dms and threatening to throw themselves off buildings if you or one of the other girls don't coddle and convince him he's handsome/charming/cute/whatever he's delusional enough to want to hear. It never pans out and it's never worth it. Don't do it. Don't bother. If you want it, you just meet a couple other women and invite them to your own group. You'll never have a huge womens space, but you can sure make a small one and keep it safe. So just do that instead.

I smell a really bad clique... hated them in school ain't touching them as a 40 year old woman...

So... react?

Instead of moping around, and retreating into your own "safe space": speak up. Point out to men who disrespect women that they are acting like horny teenagers. Educate your friends around you, to give more support to these demands.

By deserting community spaces, you are letting those who wish you weren't there win.

So much for the little activist rant (which is still sincere, though).

But in concrete terms: beware of the ambient paranoia. Do harassment and dirty jokes exist on MMORPGs? Of course it does. Are they omnipresent? I don't think so. Be careful not to do like those people who had ONE toxic experience in a dungeon, and conclude that the whole community is to blame.

Who said I don't? Do you realise how hard that is to do in certain environments such as your workplace where retribution is often rampant? Frankly, the belittlement of the "safe space" is uncalled for, I am not in the mood to constantly be correcting the crap that people spew on a daily basis. Nor should I be obligated to.

I am not deserting the community spaces, you can be in more than one community jesus. Literally said so many times it is for a BREAK from all of that. Not a total escape. My fc discord is full of wonderful and varied people and I am glad of it.

One toxic experience... ONE. Are you serious? For a short list of my exp with men online these past years, I had a pedophile send me nudes at 14, I have had about 5 separate men try and convince me to move to the middle east and have their children, others condemn me for not living a religious life, I have had dozens of stalkers, I have had western men vilify me in my community for not accepting their advances, calling me whore and a tease when I had made VERY clear my lack of interest. I still get 3 different dude's sending me dm's at random once a year without fail. Excuse me wanting a break from people such as this. And hell even then I am not a part of that discord nor any women's only discord. I just can understand people wanting to have such a place.

I do not think men in general or gamers are awful, but there sure as hell is a LARGE portion of these communities that have serious social failings.

Shocker. A discord full of girls(?) and no women with a ounce of maturity. Did not see this coming. Would be nice if they were honest with their intentions. But that would require some integrity. This thread was entertaining at least.

Years ago when I first started I was invited to a Femroe Sisterhood linkshell on the basis of we enjoyed playing as the rarest race in the game. Never joined it but it was innocent and pure in hindsight. This seems like anything but.

Given what goes on without even joining this isn't a red flag. It's a red flag parade.

And MMOS are about bringing people of all kinds together. Seems a little ridiculous to create a all girl space. Have fun peacocking each other I guess.

[Sathona]

ah the Amazon Worshipper, Melanie hath appeared.

I know others have said it, but for your own general safety do not join that server lol its very sussy

[VforVendetta]

This is my opinion on this entire thread.

Who cares? Make your dumb girls only club.

Who cares? How does her dumb all girls club affect you at all?

[technole]

Ahh that Discord that used the Titania logo header, whom is not even she/her.

Women, stay away from these servers. Anything that includes gender and 18+ is a massive red flag. You can be sure the person behind it has some ulterior motives.

And why does it even matter what gender the person is? We're all playing the game for fun, stop segregating people and dividing the community even more.
