Definition:	'''GOTIS''' for short. Due to the fact that the fields of math and technology are mostly dominated by men, the appearance of a <span style="color:magenta">girl</span> is rare, and is sometimes exciting prospect for lonely [[neckbeard]]s. The response of a normal person in real life would be "Oh, a girl" and then moving on. But on the internet, that sadly isn't the case. The userbase of the site the <span style="color:magenta">girl</span> has stumbled onto will often straight-up worship her as "The only <span style="color:magenta">girl</span> on the Internet" and she will gladly embrace the attention, no matter how creepy it might be. Many Internet nerds think that nerdy <span style="color:magenta">girls</span> are rarer than the rarest [[pokemon]], so many internet nerds are terrible with women and see a <span style="color:magenta">girl</span> who has similar tastes and humor to them as the hardest thing to find on the planet. If you have just one of these people on a forum that there's a low number of <span style="color:magenta">girls</span> on, and they're particularly desperate, they'll [[White knight]] for the <span style="color:magenta">girl</span>, defend her from criticism, however deserved, and generally be her [[Nice Guy|lapdog]]. When you have an entire forum doing this, the <span style="color:magenta">girl's</span> ego swells to tragically large proportion, as she's upheld as the queen of her internet community and becomes above its rules. The obvious symptoms of GOTIS are: *Attention-seeking *Arrogance *Semi-nude photography *Constant whining *Narcissism *Excessive flirting *Fishing for compliments *Expecting and accepting undeserved social privileges (ex. [[IRC|ops]]) *Casually dropping hints about their gender over and over *Being completely unaware of having GOTIS *Denying GOTIS <u>'''Remember'''</u>, if you are a female posting in a "troll" community (i.e. /[[b]]/) and you put personal information on the internet ever, you are forever branded a GOTIS sufferer and you will be ruined. The only questions are when and how.
Common usage:	The term was originally coined by [[User:Sheneequa|Sheneequa]], but the subject has been around as long as there's been nerds, and only recently has it been given a name. It is typically used whenever an Internet user calls out a <span style="color:magenta">girl</span> on the Internet that is taking advantage of their gender to gain the aforementioned social privileges.
