CaseyWhen my wife was on here she chose to be blue to avoid being targeted for having an opinion and dealing peoples bullshit. 🤷♂️
AndrewGravesSVMy gf did the same, NS do be pretty sexist sometimes
JAHpowI just like being "one of the guys".
BigPurpleSkiSuitI had a pink name but lost it.
SofaKingSickpeople treat girls super weird online, not particularly on NS but it happens here too
i get why some girls don't identify themselves, ive seen the most insane messages and replies that girls get from internet weirdos, from pathetic flirting to visceral hate
katrinathe internet is a weird place. one thing I've noticed on current NS vs NS of like 10 years ago is now when someone is being a prick or whatever people are generally good at calling it out right away which I think is great.
gorbdawggybrenti just want a motherfucking purple name bruv
someone tell me how
CLQHave an 8+ inch cock
katrinait used to be really bad, i don't think it is nearly as bad as it once was, it's come a long way.
skiermanYeah, all the fun got sucked out of it harder and faster than a girl on prom night.
paige.When I joined after lurking for quite awhile it seemed like at least half the women had blue names, and those who did tended to be taken more seriously and receive less gross treatment than those who had pink ones. I wanted to be judged on the quality (or lack thereof) of what I posted - I never hid that I was a girl (hell my username is clearly a girl's name), but I didn't want it to be a standout feature. And I was never given reason to regret it.
Then recently - after a decade of having a blue name - I was forced into a pink name with no explanation. I just posted one day and my name was a different colour. I haven't been able to figure out if this has happened to anyone else but it makes me surprisingly self-conscious about my posts because I stand out so much more.

Piss_BoyI kinda want to see if I start reffering to myself as a girl i will get a pink name lol
PeppermillRenoMost lady skiers IRL use mens skis and not womens ones.
mikemacI think of skiing/outdoor community as something that opened me up to being more accepting and welcoming and open minded and generally more friendly and loving .... but then you come on here for the first time in years and see the Sierra thread 🤦♂️ and see some of the most hateful/homophobic/toxic shit imaginable.... and remember it’s a lot of teenage trolls wanting to participate/learn about skiing, but ultimately anonymous hiding behind their keyboards spewing hate into the void....
it’s similar to when I was a kid but I think it’s gotten worse with social media and general polarization in the public discord. It’s like either ppl think you should be able to say whatever you want regardless of hurting others feelings or you should be cancelled for stepping outside the new norms...
When I was a high schooler I probably didn’t realize how bad we were bc we shit on everybody and used derogatory terms for EVERYBODY at any given time - not just women.
it was almost as though bad language were a way to buck the system, but then you meet different types of ppl and realize that words actually do have meaning.... and your just as bad as the “system” if you’re continually putting people down
maybe a lot of young ladies want to be on this sight but ya don’t want to feel like they have a target on their back.... definitely sucks how many ppl on here lash out w some sexist/hateful stuff.... but the internet is just people... and you get all kinds, even within communities that you would normally expect to be more open minded.
skiermanI downvoted you for writing so much.
Cunt.
