You do realize that there are actually multiple studies that demonstrate that high attractiveness is correlated to increased chances of getting a job right? And considering it's mostly men that are in positions of power (fact), it's not unlikely that men don't hire women based on their attractiveness.

Women are hired based on their attractiveness all the time. This isn't exclusively a merit that is based on women alone; attractive men get hired more often and promoted faster also. | ||

Both of those things you described are exactly what I'm talking about. You're talk about a double-standard, and I'm talking about the fact that people being sexually harassed. furthermore your talking about men "verbally attacking" women on streams with sexual innuendo and you think thats a sc2 thing? or a gaming thing? thats an internet thing. you are not at sc2 interwebs.com, right next door to you on your sc2 internet is the same internet broadcasting sex to the 10th power. trust me when i say the "verbal attacks" are not sc2 related in any way shape or form but rather unfiltered internet assholes. do you read youtube comments lol? do you even read anything else on the internet? Again, you're not only misconstruing what I said, but also are being unnecessarily condescending. Just because vulgarity is used in other places on the internet, it does not make it right, nor necessarily acceptable. There was actually a thread not to long ago talking about how new casters rarely make it because of how much negative feedback they receive. In some cases, the feedback may be warranted, but if it is unwarranted, it doesn't matter which gender they are - cutting them down is not right, and we shouldn't simply "accept it" because it's only half as brutal as encyclopediadramatica. im not saying dress and act like men to be accepted im saying that how on earth is a genderless activity giving girls so much grief unless they bring it upon themselves? the girl kaitlyn who was taken on quantic or ajuil who is a DIAMOND PROTOSS and got on a team are examples of girls abusing the fact that they are girls, or for my semantics guy "taking advantage of a sittuation", and not deserving it. if girls want to be treated equally then you must also WANT to be treated equally. me a masters player, will never be recruited to a team because there are tons of guys like me. by sc2 standards if i was a team owner i would only ever take players who were at the VERY LEAST gm level. yet somehow 2 girls who cant win a single pro match are "pro gamers". they could have declined the offer because clearly they are there for marketing but they didnt which tells me that some girls complain about inequality and others abuse it. you cant have the best of both worlds I agree with you here, but I can't defend everything Quantic, as a team, decides to do. In my opinion, they made a poor decision if they were looking for a talented player who can win titles. But what you're arguing is that there is a double-standard, but say: NO ONE CARES IF A GAMER IS A GIRL OR A GUY. thats what im saying. this sexism thing is a falsehood made up by girls who decided to hang out with guys and someone metaphorically slapped her ass and she freaked. And you blame "girls" for creating an illusion of sexism, despite the fact that singling out a specific sex as the source of unfair favoritism, you in fact, are being sexist by it's very definition. Now, while I agree that sexism is wrong, you have to see both sides of the coin and realize that both men and women can be sexist, both towards the opposite sex, and their own sex. That being said, this thread is about female casters, so discussing Kaitlyn in this case is largely irrelevant. So, let's say there was a black guy who wanted to cast SC2. And let's also say he wasn't very good, like at all. People would say "Hey, you suck.", along with a bunch of racial remarks, like "I didn't know they could afford computers in Compton." but even if our black caster friend was a good caster, inevitably, there would be people who would still throw his heritage right in his face as an insult. After enough of this, even if someone pays him a compliment jokingly, such as "This nigga is a good caster, and I'm saying this as a white guy." it would probably still piss the caster off, or create a unwelcoming environment, one that says "No matter how good you are at what you do, you'll always just be that black guy who casts." Then at this point, he can take the high road and embrace that role, even poking fun at it, or become discouraged and retire. Unfortunately, the latter of those two is more likely to be the case, because there is only so much a person can take before they say "Fuck this." and stop what they're doing. You could say "Hey, black people say racist things all the time, but cry about it whenever they hear racism." It's the same fucking thing though. It's not right no matter who does it, and it's not right to try and justify it because you believe there is a double-standard, because if you believe there is a double-standard in regards to a race as a whole, then you are buying into the belief that a whole race generally conforms to a certain set of standards. And the same goes for sexism. | ||

no one attacks women any more then they attack men? there is a double standard but there isnt anyone worth mentioning on a mission to keep women out of gaming or esports at ALL. if your problem is with "anyone attacking anyone" then your problem is with humans on the internet and guess what, you wont win lol if your problem is that you feel women specifically are being targeted then what you are actually doing is noticing when women are attacked but not when men are. since there are so few women in sc2, when someone attacks one it seems like its a bigger deal then it is when every single male in the community of merit has been harassed in ways NONE of these women could imagine lets talk about women casters since of course this whole topic is derailed. CASTERS ARE AS FOLLOWS - lauren elise - knew nothing about sc2, she was brough on purely for her looks - kelly milkies - by far the worst caster ever called helions race cars and this may seem unfair but her accent didnt help her in any way and it most def hurt her. its hard to cast english with a bad accent this isnt her fault but you dont see me losing my legs and complaining that the other runners are faster then me such is life. may i add she ditched sc2 for greener pastures and that photo shoot didnt help i honestly cannot think of anyone else who qualifies as a caster does anna or seltzer count? no they are not casters or "hosts of shows" smix is the best translator thus far regardless of her head nodding but she isnt a caster so find me one women caster who has been CHASED AWAY but actually is pretty good? as a side note, i actually have met more racist black people then white people, just saying | ||

@Poster above: one thing not to be dismissed is that the "examples" (Kelly Milkies, Lauren Elise) and the community may actually prevent that we ever see good women casters. Women that want to be recognized for their cast, not for their look. Women that want to be respected by the community (not gonna happen before quite some time....) Women that want to do what they enjoy without any gender consideration, without getting insulted, without getting belittled and told to "get out because it's a men game", without their skills being dismissed while their look is the only thing that matters ("show boobs", "you're cute", etc, things men will never get because men aren't the target of discrimination), without being threaten of rape by some idiots when they do something these dislike a lot (again, men don't really get that sort of threats...), without being considered noob at this game when they tell things untrue/not correct (things men caster also do, but they just get a "oh god he's wrong", while women, like we saw with Lauren Elise, will get something along the line of "get out, girl, it's not your turf, etc). There's a lot of reason that would explain the fact we actually never saw good women caster, and may never will for quite some time. What could even be the point, as a woman, of trying hard, just to get much flame when you finally get to do what you truly enjoy ? | ||
