I've met a lot of girls who love swords. The ones I've met aren't as interested in HEMA (tho expressed interest in fencing), but have enjoyed the fantasy aspect of swords. Honestly, I don't blame them from keeping away from places like this lol. Not only do guys like to talk to girls like they don't know anything, but on this forum, they talk to each other like they don't know anything. My cousins who are like 16 and 18 enjoy the pink katanas I show them lol but no more than that

I was wondering when someone would chime in. No wonder there isn't a female presence on this forum that stays for any amount of time. Yea I stopped wondering why a while back, with all the "women can't be warriors" mentalities that are a bit too common. This forum has an old world mentality that isn't too attractive to newer people. Idrk why people care so much about women not being on here? Is it really that big of a deal? If some wanna join they will, if not that is fine to.

Makes sense, I’m just saying I’m on a gun forum that is totally friendly and there are none on that. Can not always say it is the people, maybe some just are not interested.

You apparently thought that your other comment was all fine until MOK stepped into the thread and then you deleted it. So I'm not sure I trust your judgement.

I still think it was fine personally, I’m just going to listen to the mods so if he asks for me to not post it then I won’t. That’s all I’m gonna say on this matter as these tend to get out of hand quickly and I’m not here for that so.

It's safe for that, aside from the occasional martial arts Master who will never take you seriously for it. But all this is something I never show in real life

I honestly don't blame women for shying away from places that have a user base that'll objectify them or think rape themed rp is something you just casually post out.
It isn't so much people talking down to them for not being knowledgeable about swords as the casual misogyny. Guys can sign up here not knowing what end to hold but don't get that kind of gender based disrespect.
I would have liked to think that stuff was beneath us. It's gotta be a trip for a mod to have to actually tell adults to stop being creepy weirdos.

But man. You are straight up obsessed with that

Dude I’m not and no one else is complaining. If the mods have a problem they can tell me. You don’t talk to anyone else like this?

But man. You are straight up obsessed with that It goes beyond that really stupid moment in forum history. How many times has Mok had to step in and tell dudes to stop being creepy? This is like the 3rd time I can think of in recent weeks. It isn't just one time, and folks don't seem to take a hint.

And before anyone thinks "it's sad I can't be the real me in front of them" I am not emotionally invested in being that side of me in public, and the side they know is just as much a part of me as the nerdy stuff is. Besides, why else would I come online lol. I don't think I would find a truck forum very interesting

Or maybe my brain repressed them lol
