On the ME3 multiplayer demo…
I decided to finally start using voice chat and warned a guy when he was getting snuck up on by a Phantom. Here’s what happened…
“thanks man—oh my god wait you’re a girl”
“holy shit what there are no girls on the internet lol”
“hey will you let me suck your tits”
And just as I was about to disconnect, guess what happens?
“Hello, dears, this is…what’s his name on here? anyway, the guy in the purple armor’s mother. Honey, I’m so sorry that these immature boys feel the need to act in such a way when you decide to try and help your team. It’s extremely offensive and rude, and they should feel ashamed of themselves. Let’s just say that my son will not just be hearing this now. (I think her son was the one who asked to suck on my tits [why would you even want to do that]) I hope your day is much better than it is right now.”
“Also you snipe very well.”
The most spoken for the rest of the match was me telling people where the enemies were and them saying ‘thanks’ in a very small voice.
Best. Mom. Ever.
That woman gets all the awards ever. If I ever end up a mother, I want to be as fantastic as her.
I’m so glad at least someone’s mom is aware of their son’s video gaming misogyny. My mom’s probably too much of a technodope to notice if my brother ever starts that shit—and he better not, or I’ll personally kick his ass.
