I hope that my expectation that this will never completely fade is wrong, but I whole heartedly doubt it. On the other hand, one thing I know for sure is that the people supporting her are not going to stop in their avidness, myself included. I hope to see her work hard and show the world that gender shit, whatever her circumstances are, doesn't mean she can't be a bad ass nerd baller. I think this could be a turning point in this community myself. Think about the guys who were ripping on the female players when all they had to show for themselves were a few puny leagues just for women. They are EATING their words now with bigger names than anyone in the female scene (sorry other female progamers) being taken down by, you guessed it, a girl. Online gaming communities have moved a hell of a long way since I played CS 1.6/Quake DM/TFC in terms of maturity, and you would have been laughed out of chat if you suggested a girl could do as well as a guy at these games. Scarlett's success could mean doors open for many other players. | ||

Beating a korean, then almost beating another one, then beating DeMuslim? Demuslim beat Nestea just recently >.> and she beat DeMuslim, so technically she beat Nestea? =P Seriously amazing performance out there for the foreigner community. You out did a lot of people, Canada showed a strong showing just with you and huk combined. What do you mean by that? Excuse my ignorance, if its common knowledge, I wasnt very active in the community during the last month. | ||

He quoted someone talking about the biological differences between males and females. And because he mentions that Scarlett is biologically a male he gets temp banned? I mean what the fuck who cares, it's even mentioned on the OP. I could understand if he was taking the piss, but bringing up a relevant point is enough for a temp ban and over sensitive idiots to have ago at him? User was warned for this post | ||

I know what it means, but I have no clue what it's got to do with Scarlett. :-/ Edit: Ah ok, I read the OP. Should have done it the first time I visited the thread. Now I understand. To me, it makes no diference, what so ever. GO SCARLETT!  | ||

I'd be willing to assemble and send one off. I have a desktop that's a few years old but will run fine if wiped completely. Just upgrade graphics and CPU and Scarlett has a nice computer with Vista and a 350GB harddrive. Not super but hey it's better than a laptop. | ||

She might not have had reassignment surgery already but it would be appropriate to refer to Scarlett as a "she" due to preference. | ||

She was born physiologically male, but she is a woman. I really don't get why that's so hard for people to grasp. Saying something like "And Scarlett as far as I understand is a male" is inaccurate, hurtful, and ignorant. It's just as worthy of a ban as making a racist or homophobic comment. | ||
