It is a really slow Friday.... The day right before the long weekend....
Not much going on at work and for some reason skype is pretty empty today..

As everyone knows, I have an all girls team and I'm also part of NA ESL. You can ask me questions regarding that or just w/e comes to your mind.

Q: I think it's generally true that the stigma for playing video games competitively is stronger for women than it is for men. Western societal values certainly decrease the number of women who consider playing competitive games like Starcraft 2 in the first place. However, it's also fairly well-known that there are many male gamers who are, well, sexist pigs. How much of the lack of female gamers (across the all ranges of skill) in Sc2 do you think is a result of society discouraging them, and how much of it is a result of the gamer community driving them away?


EDIT: changed "'a lot of male gamers" to "there are many male gamers who" since the first seemed a little over-the-top. I didn't actually run a poll or anything so I thought I'd word it more vaguely.

EDIT AGAIN: also I just realized this is kind of a loaded question. I can ask a different one if you'd prefer that lol I don't mean to open a whole new can of worms, so to speak.

I've got a random one:

I DL'd this big music pack, was listening to it and this song came on. I was all "wtf" but it was kinda funny, so the question is:

What's your reaction to this song, and how would you react if someone important in your life (you pick, parents BF grandparents w/e) recognized it immediately and started singng along if they happened upon you listening to it out loud?

@Blazinghand:

In my opinion, I don't think society is big factor. SC2 is a RTS game and the average girl wouldn't be interested in that. I noticed most of the female players enjoys games like Mario, puzzles and such. Consoles like Wii are pretty popular. SC2 is more than a pretty cool looking game and it requires a lot of thinking and technical knowledge of the game.
However, the small percentages of girls that do enjoy SC2 are driving away by the community. You need to have thick skin in this community. You are either going to be on the spotlight and get trolled/harassed/judge or stay as low profile as possible. Both options are non sense.

PD: no worries

How do you feel about some of the top women figures currently in the BW/SC2 scene. For example, SlayersEve is currently on the team simply because she is a girl. In my opinion, I really dislike the fact she is brought to the GSTL games. They have stated previously she was recruited based off of her looks and the fact she simply plays the game. They have no intention of playing her when she sits with the team is GSTL games, being that she is a diamond level player. She seems to be a sideshow to me for everyone to look at. Do you find this offensive and degrading to women who can truly compete and not be there because of superficial reasons?

This makes me question why they had Torch sitting with Startale even though they never played him. Or introduced him for that matter.

@CrashD a baller? I guess lol. Super Hero? mmm Xmen- phoenix
@DisAstro sure!
@Carthac I don't find it offensive. Perhaps she was brought to the team because she is a girl and brings more free advertising to the team, or perhaps it was only because they truly saw a potential in her. It is only a matter of time
Each individual is responsible for their own decisions. I don’t judge nor do I feel offended if another female gamer makes inappropriate decisions.
There will be always someone doing the wrong thing in the wrong place and giving a poor image to the world. I honestly don’t get stressed about it
