indeed, i thought he was white until this thread. His face just looks black because its dark in the suit and his nose/mouth looks like that because pictures of sc characters aren't drawn very accurately.

Anyway it's pretty sad that people have to call things racist because there isn't an even numbers of the races in the game ect, or that because a black guy is an scv-worker that it's racist.

That article reminds me of Sam Harris going into a book store and finding a random cookbook and using a recipe to make his own doomsday prediction.

She analyzed further that Zerg gameplay is like the development of an orgasm.


I... agree.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

that is a black dude: broad nose, dark hair, dark skin.

Slave controlled vehicle. Confederate earth. "I'm locked in here tighter than a frog's butt in a watermelon seed fight.''. etc


What the hell does that saying even mean? Wtf is a watermelon fight? Do people actually throw watermelon seeds at eachother? And why is a frog getting in between the fight? Is the scv implying the watermelon seed will go into the frogs anus if the fight is not correctly supervised?

I don't think you are supposed to get the reference.

this was a good laugh

sent her an e-mail (lolathegrig@hotmail.com) apologizing on behalf of all masochistic starcraft players and sent her several pictures of a lone girl in need of help out there in the starcraft community and explained her valiant feminist struggle in this male dominated game world.

Don't know if your joking or not, but w/e

Someone has got to be the worker, its kind of racist/sexist in and of itself if you make sure everything you create, be it a game or a book, ensures that no minority is conducting any lower, menial, or stereotypical act. The White must be the scv! The black must be the BC! The Women must be the marine, and the man must be the medic! Kind of retarded.

Anyways, this article gave me a lot of laughs. GJ feminism.

Edit: To the guy on the other page who said the scv might not be black- he is clearly black. Doesn't matter if he speaks in a southern accent or not, because shock, lots of blacks live in the south.

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.


hahaha i always thought that the top of the hatchery lookd like a pulsating anus. and the queen a big flying anus. and the muta a small flying anus with teeth.

In starcraft 2 ^_^!

I'm currently reading how she describes Zerg and I though she was describing porncraft lol

EDIT: What the fuck? She forgot Kerrigan as the most powerful being in the current SC universe. How the hell can you say that Zerg are evil when all they wanted is the Protoss Gene Pool..
Then is the Overmind a woman? Don't get me wrong but I wouldn't hit that big chunk of brain..

If you check out how the Overmind converse with his cerebrates it's kinda Roman Catholic-like or as if he is reading something from the bible.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

oh my goodness... what a ridiculous article. First of all the author makes assumptions about what the reader already knows about sexism and male/female gender roles, which is shitty writing. Secondly, this :
quote: "The power of the Zerg lies not in how many productive buildings you have, but in how many reproductive (larva-birthing) buildings you have. Also, their power lies not in efficiency of building (more marines per minute) but in keeping your troops alive long enough to get them nurtured and grown up to a state of power. (Good job for those of you who are putting together the gender argument already)."

Seriously, has she even played the game? In general, the Zerg are ridiculously about macro, and the 'Toss and Terran are more like the ones to keep their troops alive longer until they have ammased a powerful army. (Only in a guardian build would that idea make sense for Zerg.)
The author's general idea of games reinforcing gender stereotypes is valid, but her actual evidence for Starcraft is quite lacking and misguided =/

Oh god, you're referring to "The Sperm and the Egg" by Emily Martin. Fuck did I want to throw that book into the fireplace while reading it.
