The Girls of Lookout Landing

Trident_tiny by Kirsten Schlewitz on

Excuse me, girl.

My friend introduced me to LL.   She doesn't post here anymore, because y'all were assholes to her.  Why?  You'd think you'd want women around.  Don't you want a girl that loves baseball?  Don't you want a gf who goes to the games with you and can discuss the ineptitude of the FO and the race for Strasburg? 

 

Star-divide

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not on this site to pick up.   Yeah, I enjoy being a novelty; I'm not afraid to admit it.  But I'm here for the baseball.  No, I don't always understand the statistical analysis.  My dad is a baseball statistician.  He's been trying to teach me that stuff for years.  It doesn't stick.  But that doesn't mean I don't love baseball.  I've been a Mariners fan since my parents first stuck an oversized onesie on my week-old self.  I had a baseball in my crib.  The 2008 team might have failed already, but no matter.  That's what being an Ms fan is. 

And that's why I stick around.  No one in this town understands the absolute agony of loving a losing team--and they sure aren't clever enough to express it in the hysterical ways I've seen on LL.  People here wear Cubs hats and have no idea that the old-school bear even represents the Cubs.  They're the worst type of Yank and Sox fans.  They just don't get it.  So I come and hang out with y'all to remember what it means to be a real fan. 

For the most part, I can take the shit y'all throw my way.  Women in the kitchen and womens' intelligence jokes don't bother me.  But don't tell me I'm here for attention or any kind of bullshit like that.  In this town of drunkards and sleezebags, I could get much more gratifying attention in a much shorter time (clearly the CL posting proved that).  I'm here for the baseball.  Keep that in mind and you might get other women to stick around, too.

It takes one undesirable to pee in someone's cornflakes.

I’d like to think that the regulars have been amicable, but I can think of two incidents where people have just been straight up pervy or assholish. LL is the greatest site on all the internets and the community is a big reason why, we’re capable of being better and need to do so.

I'll toss a rec out for this

I think that the regulars have built quite the community feeling around here, a big reason why we can stand the losing seasons and inept front offices – but there are also the people that jump in here, throw a few barbs, and then escape. Those are the people that I can see others having a problem with.

The female factor is a novelty, sure, but after a few GTE explosions (and the infamous whiskey diary) I think that the novelty disappears (at least in my eyes) and you are just another piece of the community.. I dunno, just my two cents.

You can do what I did.

Listen/watch to as many games as possible when she’s around. Make your kid(s) play/watch/listen to baseball as much as possible. Talk to your family/friends on the phone about baseball. Eventually you’ll wear her down enough and she’ll start tolerating baseball instead of disliking it. Then, she’ll start liking it and talk to you about it.

The only offense I can think of that I have made

were several references to Eric Bedard having a vagina. It was a crude joke meant to convey I think he needs to “man up” so to speak. If you found it offensive then I apologize. I do sometimes fall into the trap of typing like I am talking sometimes, and I work in a place where it is nothing but dozens of men all in a confined area. We tend to get downright disgusting sometimes and I forget about my filter. I don’t have a thin skin though, so if I ever say anything out of line then I would like people to tell me so that I can be sure to correct the problem. It is never my intention to be purposefully mean or hurtful.

2. The majority of y’all are extremely cool and went out of your way to apologize even if you didn’t offend. Thanks.
3. I like being an outed girl, because I can post things like “watch Sex and the City for tips” and not get called gay.
4. In that same vein, why is it that Cubs players are all attractive and the Mariners, in addition to being crap, also are ugly?

Uh, WTF

Dude, I started posting to Lookout Landing over three years ago (and was around for L43), probably before most of the current “regulars”, including NOLAwhatever, who I’d never even heard of until someone told me to look at this post. Yeah, people were kind of jerks and assholes from time to time, but nothing worse than you’d expect anywhere on the internet. I don’t know if it’s gotten worse recently, but when I do scan through posts here it doesn’t seem any different than before… there’s just a lot more than there used to be!

I didn’t leave LL because of people—I mostly left because I can’t search for relevant stuff on here anymore since SBNation’s big “upgrade”, and because, well, I moved to Japan last year, and baseball here is just a bazillion times more interesting to me than the MLB (which was always the case, I suppose, but it was a little different when I was going to 50 Mariners/Rainiers/etc games a year). I think, though, even if I was still interested in following the Mariners beyond the 30 seconds a day I see of them on TV here when Ichiro or Johjima does something, it would be pretty hard to keep up with things; I just don’t have the time to read LL like I used to, and since the busier posting times are all during the wee hours of the night here…

Honestly, I don’t know why there weren’t women on LL back in the day (when there used to be a ton on AN and we all thought it was a strange phenomenon). I actually thought it had more to do with the team itself than with the blogosphere.

I'm still not sure it's the same

What you seem to be saying/thinking is that NOLA is daring or encouraging people to treat her like shit because she’s female posting on a 99.9% male site. I don’t think that’s the case.

Oh, no, that's not the case.

I am saying, though, that she seems to be calling extra attention to it, and then getting angry that the extra attention is also bringing extra assholes.

But I also don’t feel like going back and reading gamethreads. Like I said, I recommend bansticks if the problem is really that bad.

I mean, last I checked these blogs were generally kind of devoid of Willie Bloomquist fans too—so if someone came on like “WillieBloomquistFan” they’d probably get similar treatment. Well, or they’d be trolling. I don’t really know.

(For the record, I am also not saying Willie Bloomquist is a girl)

Also many fans on AN use *girl as their usernames, without them being targeted.

No it's not reasonable

But life isn’t reasonable. It’s the internet, you can’t see the person, it’s extremely easy to be an asshole to someone you can’t see and who can’t harm you back (other than worthless internet comments). I agree with Deanna that NOLA did make herself a target, for good and bad. She gets a lot of good attention, but there are people in all walks of life who, consciously or subconsciously, like to bring other people down.

I hope this fanpost curbs the assholishness because I think that NOLA is a good poster, and am not interested in seeing her run off. But, at the end of the day, I mean…it’s comments on the internet.

NOTE: I have not read the game threads or seen the assholishness in them. I also have no problems with NOLA, I don’t try to treat her any differently.

that the regulars don’t rely on lowest-common-denominator insults to make their points – they put some thought into it.

yeah, that's too common on the internet though.

We always kind of had problems with people who just showed up and immediately made ninety billion posts like “I’m the new guy and I have something to say!!!! Wheeee!”

I think in general, people either are the type to lurk a long time and then post - and usually become great members of the community - or are the type who would just sit down at a table of strangers in a bar and expect to just be able to be a part of their group immediately.

Perhaps some of the people who aren't "regulars"

are lurkers, and when they post and make inside jokes, it comes across wrong, because other posters don’t know who they are, but they feel like they’ve been part of LL because they’ve been “lurking” for so long.
