no seriously there's no way that's true either like shooters have to have way more dudes lol

and idk I feel like the ratio is at least the same if not better than starcraft

like is cap just going off superiormoba and topdeckmoba here or what.
(also I enjoyed playing topdeckmoba for a bit but the fact that it's a major game is kinda hilarious but whatever)

Saying there are not a lot of women in dota isn't wrong, I just don't think it is the reason the community has moments when they mentally damaged.

Girls a dope guys. They literally make everything better, like kosher salt.

LoL, women not using voice chat when they play online games is common to all games and there is a reason for it. Like a 3 year old that wants attention and doesn't care if its positive or negative, teenage boys will act like little assholes if they know a girl is on the other end of the mic.

yeah I've definitely heard that from girls before.

I just assumed the thread was some m'lady fedora dude for whatever reason, because reddit I guess.

ALSO what is dota being compared to here like League is just as shitty idk.

Flaming people for what they are, is so low. Anyone who attacks race/sexuality/gender already made themselves look really bad.

Flame people for their shitty actions, for what they do. The things that they can control. At least that's how I see it.

Unfortunately a good deal of gamers are mentally children who are also racist and sexist.

But its the internet, so I can act like an asshole and its ok. Right? RIGHT?!

When really, its the internet and I can act like as asshole and nothing will happen to me because its to much effort of figure out who I am.

Man, I need to find that story when some kid sent a women rape threats, so she hired a PI and then called the kid's Mom. I was almost crying I was laughing so hard.

What Plansix is talking about can only at best be inferred from Cappa's dumb ass tweet. If he's speaking about how men treat women in our scene he didn't do it very eloquently.

His tweet when read as stated is completely idiotic. More men = more idiots? His experience in the dota community (negative) and thinking other HUGE communities are better? Sick bias buddy. Anytime you get a MASSIVE amount of people together women, men, or mixed it's going to be pretty idiotic. Now make that demographic 12-25 year old gamers competing with one another and have more or less full anonymity.

He's just on his high horse again, which he seems to be doing a lot lately.

oh if cap's saying that people in Dota are jackasses to women because there aren't enough women that seems pretty valid. Just like any homogenous group is probably more likely to treat someone who is different poorly.

That just seems like a super generous interpretation lol, his tweet just seems dumb like everyone acts like idiots men women whoever

Yes, I think his tweet is stupid. But the idea that any homogeneous group is going to treat people that are different poorly isn't like a new thing. Its been true forever and dota is no different.

And as I said before, ladies are awesome and we need more of them. And to not accuse them of catfishing and other BS when they are good at the game(Looking at you topdeckmoba)

I'd say more girls play Dota than SC2. Waaaaaay more, both in percentage and, obviously, in absolute numbers. Nor they seem to be the kind that seek attention based on their gender in their majority.
Capitalist is just not a very smart person.

Girls I know that play DotA 2: 1
Girls I know that play SCII: 0

So there are more girls that play DotA than SCII (logic!)

Edit:
%-wise it may be higher in SCII but the absolute number in DotA2 must be higher for obvious reasons
But does it djent?

dunno if the RATIO is different between sc2 and dota
the volume clearly is but that's a bad indicator right.

This is the sort of in depth fact finding I expect from GD. Well played.

I am aware of a couple of ladies that play dota, only from them appearing on the dota streams on twitch. I have met a couple while playing as well.
