I died a little inside after reading this article.
http://www.vanguardparty.com/articles/starcraft.html
It is a bit long so let me summarize it for you: (actual quote) "Zerg = female, alongside Zerg = unknowable, evil beast yields a culture who regard female = unknowable, evil beast. This is obviously a problem. Women are human, men are human."
Ms. Kelly Alerenson, the author of this article, tries to argue that Zerg runs on a "female" economy, which relies on reproduction, and that Zerg buildings look convincingly gynic. She analyzed further that Zerg gameplay is like the development of an orgasm.
Now isn't that a bit too far? OH LOOK! Reproduction --> Gynic buildings --> Evil beasts --> WAHWAHWAH INEQUALITY!!
I'm all for gender equality, but these people piss me off. And relating this topic to Starcraft is just overkill, a blasphemy... downright moronic.
I got a good laugh out of the things she says though:
"Fight sexism. Fight gender stereotypes. Think of people as people, not as sexual objects, nor as the unknowable other."
(and while you're at it, fight the damned Protoss and Terrans for always oppressing Zergs.)
"A Nydus Canal is a large, vaginal opening, that if a Zerg unit enters, it may emerge at the other end, in a manner that "greatly puzzles most Terran scientists." (This quote is too much to not mock: What? Men cannot understand the vagina: the symbolic representation of women? I never would have guessed.)"
Btw, what scientists don't understand is instantaneous teleportation, not the fact that it looks like a vagina. Nice IQ.
GAH!

Stupid people are the great equalizers of the world, unfortunately, they must exist.

Don't really care what some retard on a small website has to say. Feel free to bring more attention to her obscure work.

LOL
God help you if you ever take some cultural anthro or women's studies classes. Entire academic departments are built on churning out articles like this and then the peer review session and the author have a good mutual cry together about how unfair the world is. My Medical Anthropology class was full of articles like this, where the author would find the most tenuous bullshit to get outraged about. One article was written about how the sperm/egg model was sexist because scientists described the egg as more or less sitting there and the sperm as active and swimming towards the egg.
Its why the term "sexism" doesn't have any meaning anymore. Its become a meaningless charge used so we're supposed to get all share in the author's outrage about absolutely nothing.

The real problem is that shit like this infects liberal arts academia like a plague. The author almost certainly learned how to produce papers like this on demand in class.

Lol WAT? :D
That's all I can say after skimming that stuff through.

HAHAHA
what the fuck is that? who wrote this crap?
I say we try to bring that crap website down through server overload
|
honestly I've had to sit through stuff like this straight-faced in college lectures.
It's why I avoid pretty much every class of that type now

Goliath
"Checklist completed…. SoB."
(Again, not only being a sexually derogatory statement, this implies that only males will be empowered; leading the force.)
Damn the Goliath is such a sexist.
This article seems like some female student wrote it looking for any type of ridiculous piece of evidence possible in order to make it longer.

Also, one of the Zerg's greatest strengths is a building known as a Nydus Canal. A Nydus Canal is a large, vaginal opening, that if a Zerg unit enters, it may emerge at the other end, in a manner that "greatly puzzles most Terran scientists." (This quote is too much to not mock: What? Men cannot understand the vagina: the symbolic representation of women? I never would have guessed.)
I was just skimming and I LOL'd at that.

Its true, Russians are the highest race

uhhhhh... wut.
i really don't understand their argument... see because the nydus canal is a hole, therefore it is a vagina, and the nydus canal is a zerg building, and zerg are evil, so women are evil???
i get where they are coming from for the female unit responses kind of, but i really don't think blizzard is trying to make the game sexist...

Valkyrie- In an overly sexualized Russian accent.
"Don't keep me waiting."
"I have ways of blowing things…. Up."
"You're being very naughty."
"Who's your Mommy?"
"(Stallion neighing)"
i never knew that "achtung" is russian.

This shits like 7 years old who gives a fuck
|
In addition to the nydus canal, the hatchery looks like a thing with multiple vaginas. And larvas come out of them... such an insult to women.
|
ok what the hell? This is all some joke made by some retard trying to make his/her own theories supporting his/her argument.
