A common meme, '''No Girls on the Internet''' means exactly what it says. The phrase originates from the [[grimdark|godawful]] Early Days of the Internet, where it was seen as the dominion of basement-dwelling, generally male nerds.  [[Old School Roleplaying|Most of these]] have since migrated to [[/tg/]], so the meme fits perfectly.

===Dawn of the internet===
''If I can pontificate a bit, for your edification.  One of the rules of the Internet is: "there are no girls on the Internet." This rule does not mean what you think it means.  In real life, people like you merely for being a girl. They want to fuck you, so they pay attention to you and they pretend what you have to say is interesting, whether or not you are genuinely interesting, or that you are smart of clever, whether or not you are actually smart or clever. On the Internet, there is no chance to fuck you; this means the advantage of being a "girl" does not exist. You don't get a bonus to conversation just because someone wants to put their cock in you.
This view is a "literal" interpretation and is considered the origin of the meme. Men are generally early adopters of any technology or social structure in modern society. As a result, the early days of the internet contained an extremely small number of women. The phrase was therefore an objective observation of the state of the internet population.


''When you make a post like "hurr durr, I'm a gurl," you are begging for attention. The only reason to post it is because you want your girl-advantage back, because you are too vapid or too stupid to do or say anything interesting without it.  You are forgetting the rule "there are no girls on the Internet."  The one way around this rule, the one way you can get your "girlness" back on the Internet, is to post your tits. This is, and should be, degrading for you, an admission that the only interesting thing about you is your naked body.
===Vidya===
As online games became more popular in the 90s, sociopaths of both sexes, but usually male, figured out a good way to get free shit: pretend to be female (or, in the female case, pretend to be interested in you). Various idiots would give clan status, items, game currency, and other valuables to anything with glorious cleavage in the hope that they would receive female attention. The meme evolved into a phrase to protect guildmates and friends from giving away their hard earned items to random fraudsters or from mistakenly engaging in ERP with other dudes. Most importantly, it was designed to protect lonely friends from ultimate shame when their "internet girlfriends" were inevitably revealed to be some dude with a confused sexuality. This era also gave rise to a related meme/saying of GIRL - (Guy In Real Life).

As the internet became more mainstream during the early and mid 00s, it was revealed that women DID use the internet. Unsure of whether a self proclaimed female was legitimate or not, people started to demand proof in the form of photos. These women discovered that they could get a lot of attention simply for being female. This phenomenon manifested on 4chan as the boards were spammed with thread after thread of camwhores or trolls looking for attention. The spam began to displace high quality threads much like how carbon-monoxide displaces oxygen. Suffocating oldfags attempted to discourage the attention whore cancer by abrasively demanding that any girls display their tits or GTFO. This attempt backfired to a cartoonish degree as the camwhores complied with the request and thus made the spam threads more popular than ever before.

Newfags began to argue with oldfags over the hostility and abrasiveness towards the camwhores.

The result is one of the best posts ever made on 4chan:


The "mentality" or message the quote from [[/b/]] is trying to captivate is that the internet functions as an equalizer, a fine point of equilibrium. No one could give less of a fuck about who you are as a person as long as you're anonymous; you paint the picture others see  you as without accompanied (gender) bias. However, the second you as a female decide to <b>needlessly</b> express or inform others that you are female, you are doing it for attention, to spark a reaction. <i>Why else would anyone do it?</i>
[[File:Titsorgtfo.png|900px]]


This is the resultant of females' inherent (biological) advantage in social situations for merely being a female, thereupon attempting to regain their lack of said advantage/attention [on the internet]. [On the internet] This <b>could</b> be a result of said female being "<i>too vapid</i>" or "<i>too stupid</i>", therefore not able to convey enough attention through words and arguments/actions alone; consequently we have the "<i>hurr durr, I'm a gurl</i>" posts <b>where they don't belong</b>, <b>where they don't matter</b> or <b>where they are simply out of place</b>.
With the 2020s rolling in the NGOTI became ''mostly'' a dead meme since after 30+ years of the Internet existing everyone grew up and out of the spiel and the newer generations were raised with the Internet and were more adapted to it. Ironically we may be seeing a double subversion since on one side the camwhores have now evolved into the camgirls who outright exploit the fact that they are declared girls and use it to mooch money off of desperate and lonely men, just like many have years before.

In short - There are Still no Girls on the Internet


To extrapolate further, in a given scenario which perfectly demonstrates this advantage (applicable to any place/situation where hitting on someone is a plausible and relevant move):
[[Category:Meme]]
 
*You, a female, are at a bar
**You get free drinks and showered in attention from males for just being female &rarr; you are desirable
***Thusly, you have males honeying their words and their actions towards you in order to present themselves in a desirable manner to you, a female, a potential mate (additionally, this behaviour is mostly automated by default in males)
 
 
Furthermore (as you damn better fucking know), this benefit does not exist on the internet in general. Accordingly, we frown upon attentionwhoring, especially where it's not pertinent.
 
===Summary===
 
As long as you, as a female, are not fishing/revealing that you are so for attention where it would not amounting to anything significant, no fucks will be given. However, if the reverse were to be true, we will be, and justifiably so, calling you out on your attentionwhoring, and ask you for one final way to make an amendment, a positive and appreciated contribution to any topic:

Rule 63

The phrase originates from the godawful awesome Interesting Early Days of the Internet, where it was seen as the dominion of basement-dwelling, generally male nerds. Most of these have since migrated to /tg/, so the meme fits perfectly.

Interpretations[edit | edit source]

Memes, being living breathing documents, are constantly evolving. Consequently, 'No Girls on the Internet' has gone through several different stages during its multidecade evolution.

Dawn of the internet[edit | edit source]

This view is a "literal" interpretation and is considered the origin of the meme. Men are generally early adopters of any technology or social structure in modern society. As a result, the early days of the internet contained an extremely small number of women. The phrase was therefore an objective observation of the state of the internet population.

Vidya[edit | edit source]

As online games became more popular in the 90s, sociopaths of both sexes, but usually male, figured out a good way to get free shit: pretend to be female (or, in the female case, pretend to be interested in you). Various idiots would give clan status, items, game currency, and other valuables to anything with glorious cleavage in the hope that they would receive female attention. The meme evolved into a phrase to protect guildmates and friends from giving away their hard earned items to random fraudsters or from mistakenly engaging in ERP with other dudes. Most importantly, it was designed to protect lonely friends from ultimate shame when their "internet girlfriends" were inevitably revealed to be some dude with a confused sexuality. This era also gave rise to a related meme/saying of GIRL - (Guy In Real Life).

Tits or GTFO[edit | edit source]

As the internet became more mainstream during the early and mid 00s, it was revealed that women DID use the internet. Unsure of whether a self proclaimed female was legitimate or not, people started to demand proof in the form of photos. These women discovered that they could get a lot of attention simply for being female. This phenomenon manifested on 4chan as the boards were spammed with thread after thread of camwhores or trolls looking for attention. The spam began to displace high quality threads much like how carbon-monoxide displaces oxygen. Suffocating oldfags attempted to discourage the attention whore cancer by abrasively demanding that any girls display their tits or GTFO. This attempt backfired to a cartoonish degree as the camwhores complied with the request and thus made the spam threads more popular than ever before.

Final Form[edit | edit source]

Newfags began to argue with oldfags over the hostility and abrasiveness towards the camwhores. Soon women began to exploit their cleavage to give their posts and arguments greater weight in the eyes of legions of newfags. As a forum that despises identities, 4chan decided to fight back against the cancer of female shit posters who started every argument with "Im a girl and i think that...."

The result is one of the best posts ever made on 4chan:
