[[File:No_boys_on_the_internet.jpg|right|frame|Rule 63]]
''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.

Even though times have changed in recent years, with more female tabletop gamers (and more female interest in sci-fi and fantasy in general), have you ever wondered why you don't see more girls involved in tabletop gaming?  It is exactly the above mentality. Even going deeper than the fact that IS going to come off to woman as "yur kind ain't wanted here, go awn and play with barbies in the kitchin", the idea that anyone who is female is going to use the fact that she is female to gain an unfair advantage of feminine wiles and man manipulation in every scenario is pretty insulting and sexist. And yes, straight men can (and do) interact with known women without even considering ''attempting'' to get them in the sack. It turns out people in general (be they Black, White, Asian, Gay, Straight, Male, Female and so forth) don't like being subject to causal bigotry. Claiming you're just "joking" ''at most'' glosses over about 0.5% of such activity.
No, this is not some [[Katawa Shoujo|crazy feminist extremist]] message, it is called common fucking courtesy.  If the tables were turned, you would likely be driven away as well.  And in the end you only suffer from this. Imagine all those people that happen to be female who, if they got into it could come up with interesting and inventive homebrew settings, well constructed characters and campaigns; even those who are not goddesses of creation yet someone who contributes their share to the experience in a positive manner!  But they never do, because a bunch of unenlightened basement dwelling troglodytes drive them away with a barrage of stupid insults that lost any theoretical comedy value they might have had over a decade ago.
Sincerely,
Someone with common sense and social understanding.

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.

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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:
