"Video Dames" is clearly the best option.


I'm pretty sure it just has to be someone's avatar. The existing "fake" gang tags are avatars, not attached images.

I just tested the preview, and the [img] tags work if the gang tag image is someone's avatar (like your saints row one) but for the attachment that Vacuum uploaded, it didn't work. So if someone really wants to waste money either changing their title twice, or sticking the avatar on someone else's account, we can all waste even more money adding the tag to our titles! :buddy:

The other day I got a very important message on Ask.fm, and that person convinced me to make a clarification for this thread:



The message I got was related to Girl Games and trans women. I want to clarify that while the games we're making fun of are blatantly exclusionary on many levels, in this thread, we are all girls. These games want to define "girls" strictly and narrowly, so in this thread, I want to do the opposite. The bad messages in these games effect everyone, so therefore everyone is girls. Including everyone who identifies as female, which includes trans women, or, as I like to call them, women.

When I react to and analyze these games, I am going to start with what offends me personally, but of course that is not going to always be the same for the rest of you. People with different experiences and backgrounds will have additional things to say about why these games are dumb and bad. I have no authority to speak on behalf of a trans woman, a queer woman, a woman of color, A MAN, and so on, about how these games affect them except on a very superficial level. But that's why I made this thread!

I want you to tell me, and I am eager to hear your opinons and experiences. Ultimately, I want to increase my own awareness of all these issues and the awareness of the entire thread as well! It's no good to go around tearing down only some problematic aspects of these games. If you are reading the thread, if you are experiencing these games, then your opinions are valid and you will be heard here.

Okay, now go back to making silly .gifs, thank you everyone.

I know this was literally 200 posts ago (I'm catching up ok get off my back GOSH), but I love you for this. Just wanted to let you know~

As a trans woman, I might well have somewhat of a different point of view on certain bad things these games do, and I'll be happy to share my opinions on things, if people care.

..maybe even if they don't care, fuk da po-po

Also tried making Marceline from Adventure Time and realized that this was the best I'd be able to do due to the lack of pants. Half-decent, I guess.



:swoon:

Here's what I ended up making in that game.



HI

Jesus Christ, updating the OP with warning of KNIVES IN EYES for future viewers.

I currently have the video playing in another tab and i'm refusing to go to that tab. I don't know if my imagination is worse than what i'd actually be looking at but yeah, eye stuff freaks me out hardcore too.

 Jesus loving christ.. That is genuinely disturbing, on multiple levels.

What a good girl game. :allears:

I was about to say "Hmmm I don't know if this can count as a girl game, it's on Armor Games and that isn't a girl games website, nor is it over the top feminine. But then at the bottom under "related catagories" it says "Dress Up" and "Girl" so yay :haw:

E: Drillerbot is ready to mine

You can put a heart on your cardboard box. That kind of works, right?

You can also put a swastika on it, for some reason.
