Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 8:10 AMHey Daikaiju fans!
This is probably an odd question to ask, but are there any other girl Gfans out there besides me and Something Real? I'm just curious, becuase I know girl Gfans are very rare within the fandom. :O

Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 8:15 AMMy girlfriend is a [goofy] fan of Godzilla, but recently just fell in love with Gamera.

She's a HARDCORE Godzilla fan, not just any random Godzilla fan.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 9:03 AMI've been trying to get my girlfirend into Godzilla, she is pretty excited for Gareth's Godzilla! That being said, the Showa period G-Films are hard for her to get into lol!
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 11:50 AMWhat makes you think Something Real is a girl, besides her/him saying "this girl" in most post responses. Anyone can claim anything behind a computer screen..... maybe a real name or facebook page might offer better proof... Just saying, all isn't as it might appear online... As a risk manager, that is a professional fact. No offense meant to anyone how is who they say they are...but asking that question online is always pretty funny.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 12:43 PMYeah I'm kinda with GaryZilla on this one. I don't think SomethingReal is a girl. Specifically because they mention it so much. You don't see the rest of us saying "in this guy's opinion" every other post.
I've known lots of fake girls on the internet in online gaming and other areas, and one of the tip offs is usually how loud how they are about their gender.
Most actual girls behave the same as any other member, or are oftentimes specifically MORE reserved about their gender because they don't all that extra attention that being a girl usually brings with it online.
Not saying "SomethingReal" is a bad person or a bad poster. On the contrary, they are usually pretty constructive. I just don't think they're a girl is all. Sorry if that makes the pool smaller than you originally thought :-(
There were some other posters who I thought might be girls when I first started getting active a few months ago, but I haven't seen them post in awhile, and don't remember their names. They never actually said they were a girl, I just kinda guessed. Sorry if that isn't much help, I'm just trying to say...there might be a larger silent minority out there, that maybe just don't want to reveal themselves if thats of any consolation.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-27-2014 3:27 PMWHAT DUMB PIECE OF CRAP THINKS IAM A GIRL YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK ON FACEBOOK YOOSUQ.
SpaceGodzillaAdmin22520 XPApr-27-2014 3:30 PMTeam Ghidorahhahaha @G2014 Rules, relax dude, I'm sure they were joking. And if not, it's impossible to tell what someone's gender is for the most part on a forum, when you mask yourself behind a displayname. Don't take offense to it, just clarify so people know.
GodzillaMember5639 XPApr-28-2014 1:52 AMGARYZILLA and MADISON - Oh, dear. Here we go. I tell you what: I'll not use my descriptors any more and attempt to bar my vocational habits from now on if that makes the two of you more comfortable? If my referring to myself by my biological gender with regularity gives you reason to feel distress, I'd like to apologize. I had no intention of doing so. That being siad, I'm flattered that you've obviously chosen to devote some of your time to considering whether or not I'm female. As for pictures and Facebook - I don't possess a Facebook account, and why on Earth would I suspect that you'd believe any image someone uploads to the bloody internet? Is it possible for a woman or man to place false images on a Facebook page? I believe so. :)
BaragonMember425 XPApr-28-2014 3:12 AMWhy is any1 questioning if some1 is lying about their gender? This is a message board it's not like any1 would gain anything by lying. I could see if this was an MMO which is unfortunately known for supposed females getting perks from other players, but in this scenario there's no point.
As for the thread question, no not a girl, and never even mentioned my love for godzilla to any girl I've dated much less tried to get her interested so don't know any female gfans besides the ones on this site.
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPApr-28-2014 5:53 AM@SomethingReal
Well to start off, no personal offense intended. I only brought it up because it was germaine to the thread discussion, not because I want to start an internet fight or anything.
Secondarily, whether I'm wrong or not, it doesn't make me uncomfortable or cause me distress. And even if it did, that's no reason to change how you post. You shouldn't change your content or wording just because a couple guys don't 100% buy into it. God knows I wouldn't start making my posts shorter just because some yahoo or two said so.
As far as the facebook thing: Yeah I wouldn't expect you to link anything. I don't think either of us are asking for proof. Or at least I know I'm not. It's just not relevant. The content of the post is what should matter....not the gender of the person posting it. And even if we were asking for proof, you don't owe us anything. I sure as hell wouldn't link my social media information if pressed for it, so yeah, there is no reasonable expectation for you to do the same.
So yeah, for me, it doesn't really change anything regardless of your actual gender. I only shared my thoughts here because it was the point of this particular thread. Anyways, yeah, if I'm right, I'm right....If I'm wrong, don't hate me lol.....I guess it doesn't strongly matter to me, so it shouldn't strongly influence your posts.
@DURP004:
I honestly don't know what the point would be, but I've seen people do it before. Quite a lot actually. Best example that comes immediately to mind is the Starcraft 2 forums. Several Starcraft 2 players run Twitch streams, showing off their gameplay. There are even a few girls who regularly stream their games on Twitch. Those women are obviously female, no questions asked.
However, when you visit the forums, every month there are probably a dozen threads or more each created by a different account each saying "Hey check out my Twitch Stream!!!" with links to these girl's streams. If it was the same account every time I'd buy it, but it's always different people. Like all these guys are wanting credit or trying to impersonate the female streamers.....for no reason that I can discern other than they can I guess.
This is not something that happens with the male streamers. If the forums want to direct people to a guys stream, they say "Hey 'SoInSo' is online, check him out here".....not "Hey, Check Out My Stream" like what seems to always pop up for the girls. Well some guys post "Hey, Check Out My Stream" but it's always the same account linking the same stream, instead of multiple accounts linking to the one stream.
So yeah, in summary, just because there isn't really a point, doesn't mean that it isn't done.
