Women, triggers, and RPGs

The phenomenon is a bit more recent in my country than in Anglo-Saxon ones.
We've always seen women doing tabletop role-playing games, but, in recent times, I have witnessed an increase (at lest in my area).

Most women who play are, in fact, gf of other players. This, of course, doesn't mean they started because of that bf... And background varies.

However, something I noticed is that most of them, exception made for some worthy examples, have an infinite list of triggers that make everything awkward at times.
Here is an (yet) incomplete list of triggers or issues I have encountered:
1. Triggered by gore and violence
2. Triggered by all references to sex in exchange of money / all prostitutes are victims
3. Triggered by rolling dice and unable to follow complex tabletop confrontations that require them to use their character sheet. We always see players like that, but I have noticed it is more common among women.
4. Let alone their inability to play it "tabletop" instead of "diceless acting" (I try to have a blend of both in my games, to cater for all needs and also for the sake of the fucking plot)... They don't simply withdraw, but they make it noticeable they are annoyed by the umpteenth fight
5. However, whenever diplomacy and politics enter the picture, they are unable to take the lead and always prompt other individuals to talk in their stead - - just to complain later they didn't get enough show time
6. Extremely wary of other women playing, especially if they are more at ease with the aforementioned triggers than they are

Is it just me, am I committing a fallacy of relevance or do you guys relate to what I am saying?

You just described every women doing any male hobby ever. It’s just for attention.

Fpbp, I must admit.

Nature or nurture? Brainwired or culturally acquired taste for shallowness?

I thought women were supposed to be empathic beings. Rather, I find many of them to be severely unempathic to the point of social awkwardness. What they call "empathy" is, in fact, a projection of their own uneasiness onto other people.

Also, something I forgot to mention above:
7. Triggered by references to motherhood, childbirth, and the like

The latter one is more and more common, and I found it to be a trigger for many women I met.

I mean, to the point some of them manage to tell me they don't like the idea of childbirth or don't want to have kids (and makes them sick to think of themselves as mothers) within the first area of conversation.

I don't play tabletop or traditional RPGs but I do know that SJW women (and SJWs in general) are encouraged to infiltrate "nerd" hobbies. This infiltration is both ideological and opportunistic, because there's lots of Patreon money to be made. After comics and video games, tabletop seems to be the "next big thing" for this strategy. I've heard of several games that have been compromised in this way, and looks like D&D is next (pic related)

The only times I have seen women and RPGs together, is when either she is the girlfriend of one of the guys (and gets bored soon and demands it to stop), or she starts roleplaying porn, whether the group wanted it or not.

One of the best players at my gaming table is an older woman. Although, we all hate D&D as a system, so maybe your choice of game affects what quality of players you get.

Women only into RPG's so they can suck all the fun from them and ruin them. But RPG's aren't fun for women, so when there's no fun they think 'job well done' and quit the group. Meanwhile guys, who have imaginations, are having fun.

> I do know that SJW women (and SJWs in general) are encouraged to infiltrate "nerd" hobbies.

Based on what evidence and who is encouraging them? Sounds like bullshit, there's a much more reasonable explanation to explain this behavior and it doesn't have some ridiculous ambiguous goal to be met by all these wild and baseless assumptions.

It's always like a bf, husband or family in general initiates these kind of women, have seen this alot with fishing/hunting as hobby, there aren't "solo" women who start by themselves such kind of activities. Just an observation

What is the more reasonable explanation? You didn't offer any and you sound quite defensive. The most reasonable and plainly obvious explanation is what the media pumps out daily, retard. Women are encouraged to be a part of male exclusive activities, part of which were video games, comics, and so on.

>so maybe your choice of game affects what quality of players you get.
I can see some truth to this. Always gotta find the next niche before it becomes mainstream enough that chads and women flock to it just to have something in common to initiate sex.

>D&D
>Mainstream

In the 80s they would enter RPG groups on their own, back when RPG had a reputation of being satanic.
When they realized that wasn't true, their interest faded away.

dunning kruger of subtext

its a group of idiots trying to make being an idiot a point of pride

you have no evidence either, so shut up, don't you have some palestinians to kill?

fuck off shekelkeesian druids are cool

You didn't answer my question, encouraged by whom? If you think I'm being defensive maybe take a moment to realize you're the one flinging insults around in some ridiculous attempt to pad your incredibly weak and faulty argument. Seems pretty clear you're projecting your own feelings of defensiveness onto me just before you openly display that behavior yourself, but I'm willing to bet you'll reject these observations whether they're accurate or not.

The truth is nerd culture is becoming trendy, women follow trends and they constantly inject themselves into hobbies and activties. Their motivations for displaying this behavior is very simply explained as being in their nature if you understand them at all.

My evidence is what the media says in front of your and my eyes, for the last couple of years. You can ignore it but it's not going to make me wrong or my claims baseless. You, on the other hand, did not present any evidence at all and instead called me on my flag. That's because you are talking out of your ass. I can only asssume that you're a buttmad cunt.

You enter the dank dungeon and the repugnant stench of rotten fish and feces emanates from the darkness ahead of you. What do you do?

Yeah women ruin everything. You should ban them from your games.

So why are male dominated mediums had to be demonized first? give me a break. The leftist media has been pushing it's regular egalitarian propaganda as it usually does, and a part of it was the equalization of everything that is male dominated. I don't need to give you any fucking specifics, if you don't see that the media is ultra egalitarian you're either an idiot or(more likely) intellectually dishonest.

It is not ultra egalitarian, they never push to introduce males anywhere. That's because males are high-skilled competition, and introducing them into a female ecosystem is a threat to them, as they become outcompeted every single time.

Women tend to join male hobbies to increase their perceived sexual market value. And once they join, they want to change them to cater to their tastes. This is also prevalent in music scenes and even sports. And the worst part is that a lot of guys fall for girls who pretend to like their hobbies. That is not to say that there aren’t girls who genuinely like male hobbies, especially if they had a good relationship with their fathers or older brothers who may have shown them their hobbies. And I know for a fact that girls like that tend to be more tomboyish which in turn makes them be hostilized by other girls growing up.

I'm not really talking about genuine local and fair egalitarianism that wishes people to simply have the same opportunities.
>That's because males are high-skilled competition, and introducing them into a female ecosystem is a threat to them, as they become outcompeted every single time
So, not introducing males into female ecosystems but doing the opposite will achieve egalitarian goals, as males will not overwhelm females while females will still slowly gain "equal representation", i.e. more power. Seeing how they are leftist ideologues they see society as male-dominated so this is working towards their goals.

I usually just don't include women in my games, m8. You ever play Call of Cthulhu with a woman? It ain't fun. The only one they ever seem to consistently like is WoD, and even then it'll only be Vampire. Part of the reason why I stopped going to /tg/ was because they shun away anyone that has a minor problem with this shit.

>You ever play Call of Cthulhu with a woman? It ain't fun.
How come? Just curious.

>or she starts roleplaying porn

I've seen this a lot myself, as it happens. It's very odd because it's stereotypically the opposite of what you'd expect them to do, but it's like they get bored with taking it even semi-seriously, or something.

I get that it's gay nerd shit and it's hard for people to get in character and whatever, but don't fucking play the game if you're not able to do that. Though I've never really been a fan of comedy RPGs at the best of times.

It’s definitely not egalitarian. And the push is to end male only spaces where man can be themselves and bond with other men. Which is why they also demonize male friendships by always implying homosexuality, and even going so far as attacking friendship itself since women in general are awful friends. I know this is purely anecdotal but I work for an all male tech company that hasn’t imported all the SJW leftist garbage ideas you see in the US. Not a single woman or faggot is employed. Last month, we had a female marketing consultant doing some work with us for like two weeks, and the environment changed completely. We usually banter a lot and talk shit and stuff, tease each other, and for those two weeks, all of that died. That even affected productivity - for the worse. Keep male spaces and hobbies male only.

Well, it seems like a good idea initially. I'm a big fan of CoC because the system is simple (if not a bit flawed) which makes it more roleplay and story intensive, and because it takes place in the real world, you don't have to really transport your mind to another reality, which is something some players have issues with because it makes immersion harder sometimes, or whatever.

But in the case of Call of Cthulhu, it's STILL a problem, because I've tended to find that they get bored because of how roleplay intensive the game is, which is exactly the reason why you might originally think they would enjoy it. They enjoy making CHARACTERS and enjoy creating detailed backstories for those characters, but when it gets down to playing them, they get a bit dismissive.

user I urge you to find even the tiniest amount of self awareness because even with that you'd be able to see how hypocritical and ridiculous you are being. I'd also like to point out you're responding to two different Anons,
I'm hoping by pointing out he didn't post any evidence was because you assumed he was me and not because you think he needs to. He wasn't arguing your stupid conspiracy he was simply pointing out your dumbass hypocrisy and a strong recommendation that you shut the fuck up.

I'm sorry, what the fuck is being demonized and how? You're making a pretty big leap to an argument that you haven't even established yet. You're making a whole lot of pretty extreme conclusions based on a fuck ton of very wild assumptions. You do have to give specifics because all you're spouting off is some bullshit conspiracy and your explanation is "the media."

Look your entire argument and the conclusions you've drawn are all massive assumptions based upon the behavior, I'm not making any assumptions I can quite simply and accurately explain the behavior and I can find examples and proof in psychology if I really fucking had to but regardless my argument is incredibly more sound than yours.

Yell out “Honey I’m home!”

My gf plays as a member of my D&D group. She doesn't have any triggers. She only has a slightly lower attention span so she gets a bit bored after about 3 hours. But yea, I see how "damaged" girls would flock to the game.

Jeeesus Christ, okay I'm starting to understand what you're actually trying to argue with the context this post provided. Basically you're not actually explaining the reason why women are joining traditionally male-dominated hobbies, you're using it as confirmation bias of an already existing belief. This is not an effective or reliable way to examine things, that's why your left with such an incredibly faulty argument full of massive assumptions.

I wish the things I'm saying aren't most likely entirely lost on you, I really think you could benefit a lot from what I've offered but I know you're probably just offended and dismissive of it all.

I'm a girl who got out of gaming because I was sick of all of the other girls coming in and ruining everything. And now just look at the state of sci-fi conventions, gaming, and even MTG - It's all gone to shit. I blame all you faggots for not telling these girls to STFU or leave. Oh, but I was "the mean" one. Y'all just HAD to be white nights.

...

First off, tits or gtfo, second off, I’ve been warning the faggots over on /tg/ and Sup Forums for years, always told to gtfo. So let em rot for all I care. Shit is useless distraction anyways.

tits or gtfo

Show tits

>pic
Basically this. Holds true for pretty much any activity, but is most apparent in nerd hobbies because the barrier of entry is usually low.

See if you faggots had taken this to real life we wouldn't have a problem.

Accusing others for being faggots and not showing your tits its kinda rude.

Lmao the part about weirdness around child birth is spot-on with my manager. She turned 30 last year and I kid you not, I've heard her tell people how much she doesn't want kids and is disgusted by childbirth pretty much every time a co worker of a similar age brings their kid into the office for the afternoon. Every time. Then she lists a bunch of excuses for why she's still single and childless, which the women all agree are 100% valid, and concludes she will probably adopt some day. Like clockwork man. The redpilled man inside me hears her screaming out to the men nearby to knock her up as soon as possible, but the feminism rot in her brain only let's her express that desire through weird roundabout ways like described above that only veteran Sup Forumsacks really catch onto.

>tits or gtfo
>lmao dez thots tho. how do we fix wymyns?

I won't fall for your trap!!!!

No tits then gtfo

Rude!!!1111

Rocks fall; you die.
Give me that sheet.

*kisses you* :3 Pls play WoD with me, it's your favourite *kisses you again* kissies for my darling.

They are usually fake geek girls to get attention, infiltrate and wreck mens hobbies like rpg's to get that male worship despite wrecking the guys beloved fun hobby in the process.

I am not rude you know the rules of pol. Follow them or gtfo

Okay, fiiiine. You want post or pre op?

I want with todays stamp :)

Women mostly want attention from men and will go where they think they can get such attention. I remember playing recreational soccer and having a lot of fun until they made us put women on the field. Suddenly we had to play soft (no more slide tackles, no running at your opponent, no kicking the ball hard) and pass the ball directly to the women just so they would feel included. I actually preferred to do my school work than to play a non soccer version of soccer. I went to the bench and yelled loudly "Why bother playing at all if we can't play a real game? I'd rather go to school." The league shut down soon after everyone realized that males were not allowed to play real soccer anymore.

Did you know that soccer used to allow hard body checks if you touched the ball first? Slide tackling also used to be a legal play. It used to be ok to taunt the opposing team too. Society is so pathetic and soft these days that I wonder how much longer it will last before it has it's Roman Empire Collapse moment.
