You overlook the fact that a pretty red dress and makeup is hardly a big deal for more mature and adult audiences. So maybe you should focus on criticizing the maturity level of the community, and possibly yourself, if it can't handle something as pathetic as a woman wearing something mildly formal to an event that wants to take pride in its formality. Let's try to get passed being hypersensitive over women in the community being "attention whores", especially considering how many male ones already exist in the SC2 community overall. And let's not kid ourselves about the rampant subtle sexism affecting how receptive we are to female gamers and, sadly, female figures in general. If there is an ounce of truth at all in the "attention whore" stereotype, The community is so off-putting to most women that the only ones desperate enough to put up with the abuse in the spotlight TEND to be "attention whores", and the sooner that's realized, the sooner things will get better. | ||

No wonder this is even an issue; people in this community have no sense of how the world works. | ||

And then suddenly there's Miss Oregon in full attire. What is the point they (the women) are trying to make? The huge disparity in appearance and clothing just adds to the awkwardness that is always so dangerously close during e-sports events. Now this is exactly what they should be wearing. Still sexy, still very feminine but way less in-your-face. Great example. Well, I don't know about you but that pic is still in-my-face. But in a good way if you know what I mean :D. | ||
