It's not supposed to be an insult but has become a popular racist pejorative. 1.1 Who made you the chief censor of the internet, and what can/should be used or not ? 1.2 Since when 'mongoloid' is a 'race' ? There is an ethic group called 'mogol', but clearly the common use of the adjective 'mogoloid' is not directed at them. now-a-day when someone use 'it is a terrific idea' it is not meant with the etymological meaning of terrific : 'that inspire terror' 2. Use your words wisely because inadvertently opting to use racist insults makes you look bad, and your argument worse. It is ironic that you trhow away term like 'racist' carelessly in a sub-thread where you object to the abuse of the term 'abuse' (mind you you only object in half the cases.... only when it serve your argument) 3. Insulting a reluctant woman and Seducing a receptive man are not equally "abuse". point in case. Insults, no matter the time, the place, or the circumstances, are unnecessary. be that as it may, 'unnecessary' does not imply 'banned'... especially when the 'banning' seem to be very selective. apparently the threshold for 'insult' is quite asymmetric. | ||

Title of the topic: "Where are the female casters?" What a cool and mature community we have. Don't generalize the entire community based on the first and last things you notice in a thread that has dozens of pages  .I think people have made some pretty salient points in this thread. We generally understand that its partially demographical, but also we know that there must be some sexism involved because it exists everywhere and would likely exist in this scene as well, although I doubt its meaningful or serious as younger people tend to be more progressive. I guess it exists in a lighter form, more as people just making jokes although they might not be aware of how offensive those jokes might be if they were female. | ||

Title of the topic: "Where are the female casters?" What a cool and mature community we have. We have gone dark places since this thread started. People have done a careful, well executed dance in an effort to prove that sexism is not a problem on the internet because everyone is a jerk on the internet. And that is it is female streamers fault that there are sexist men harassing them because they are stealing viewers from SC2 players that are better at the game than them. They steal these viewers with a webcam and their "package," because the sexist men cannot resist to look at them due to a total lack of free will. Just when you thought we had gotten over the issue of blaming women for attracting unwanted attention from men, back to the 50s we go. Its been a good time and a nice reminder of how far we have to go with some of the parts of the community. | ||

I don't understand why we are arguing this. It's offensive to Asians and people with Down syndrome. Might be a good idea to not use it. I think we've learned from destiny's incident that whether or not you think it's ok is irrelevant. | ||

EDIT: and as for your edit. its pretty uncool to admit your okay with offending people and the problem may not be your understanding of sexism but your understanding of humanity. | ||

I asked you for clarification. Now I understand that you are trying to equate the harassment random females online have to endure to that of public figures that step forward in the spotlight. If your point is that sexism does not exist in gaming because everyone gets shit there are a few holes i would like to punch in your argument. EDIT: ninja edits op :/ oh and im 100 percent saying that women have no harder time playing video games then men. only the women who advertise they are women, say they are "a girl gamer" or say things like "im really good for a girl" or think that "girls need girl tournys" and such have any issue but the same shit happens to guys who do this too. maximus black joined a pro team but hes not good at sc2, can you guess how much hate he got from the community? its the same exact hate katlyn is getting now. is it because shes a girl and hes a guy? no its because these people advertise themselves or put themselves in scenarios that demand levels of skill they dont have and people and specifically gamers resent that you are incorrect. no one pointed to maximus black's gender as a reason for his success. | ||

He can even post “evidence” that doesn’t even support his claim, because his argument is so broad and overreaching, it can’t really be argued against.

How do you argue against that? how is talking about maximus black or kayln broad in any way lol. im talking about super specific scenarios. the opposite is true where in fact YOU are not posting any specific evidence to prove YOUR point http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=405217 go watch the vod about this very topic where destiny can be quoted saying "one person said they wanted to rape my child" your telling me that some dudes said "tits or gtfo" and a girl went crying and shouting SEXISM SEXISM but destiny can get emails about rape fantasy over his child and thats "just the internet hating again" but has nothing to do with his gender? btw am i being "too broad" or are these specific and cited examples working above poster. go to every video game stream and find me a girl who is not streaming with webcam. then go find me the LOWEST girl streamer with a webcam and what will you notice? the girl with the cam has substantially more viewership. she doesnt need to use a webcam. no one cares how she looks if she can be entertaining without one? i watch lots of games without webcams it doesnt detract too much from the stream potential but of course it helps. now on those girls who are streaming webcam are they bad at that game? yes. so the ever defensive gaming community sees this bad gamer and insults her for "not being a real gamer" or other childish comments getting potentially more aggressive and you automatically think, yep this is because its a chick right? wrong. by using a webcam you are now way more out there. you are now saying to the people watching, both me in real life and me in game are important. if her in real life wasnt important to her stream why does she have a webcam? i will admit that there are "prejudices" or "preconceived" notions of women who use webcams and im sure there are a few women who get some "unfair" treatment but i would hardly call these VERY FEW people who target women gamers reps for gaming and sexism in gaming because for every sick individual who hates women, there are equally sick individuals who hate men in order for there to be sexism in gaming i believe that one gender must gain significant advantages by being male/female and that gender must also experience less obstacles put in his/her way on the way to playing said game. I dont see this anywhere in gaming. anywhere.... in.... gaming.... | ||

This is like that one guy who argued that women's rights was the reason the economy was bad in Poland. You can't get this kind of funny on TV. | ||

People do attack douche-bags by insulting, such as saying that they'll rape their children. How is that the same as girls getting attacked *because* they're girls? On a second note, why can't both be wrong on their own merits? Threatening rape is bad, objectively, and we should stop people from doing it. Harassing women is bad, objectively, and we should stop people from doing it. The fact that other people in the internet do it doesn't stop it from being bad, objectively. | ||

Just stop, and to some of you; stop being a dick -> you'll make friends -> you'll be happier -> men and women rejoice -> magical esports and casting -> worldpeace. [Insert mandatory Community clip titled "Gaayyyy"] If there's any kind of demand, though, why not work together and make a nice collection-(fan?)-thread about casters that includes female casters? No? | ||

This thread is still open to provide a road map and further proof the insane justifications of sexism exists in the community. Very meta. Plus its funny shit.

Well its all ok, only because everyone is being treated like garbage. It can't be a problem if everyone is being abused and then the abuse isn't really there. Seems legit. | ||
