A common meme, No Girls on the Internet means exactly what it says. The phrase originates from the godawful 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.


A /b/tard said this:

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.

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.

In short: TITS OR GET THE FUCK OUT

Clarification

(As there seem to be feminazis, white knights and other confused beings stumbling upon this saying, a clarification is in its place.)

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 needlessly express or inform others that you are female, you are doing it for attention, to spark a reaction. Why else would anyone do it?

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 could be a result of said female being "too vapid" or "too stupid", therefore not able to convey enough attention through words and arguments/actions alone; consequently we have the "hurr durr, I'm a gurl" posts where they don't belong, where they don't matter or where they are simply out of place.

Example

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):

  • You, a female, are at a bar
    • You get free drinks and showered in attention from males for just being female → 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:


All you fags ought to know this already.

It is generally safe to assume that someone, particularly in this corner of the internet, is male until proven otherwise.
