Say what? Surely you must agree that Terran gameplay is indeed characterized by a consistent build up followed by a great release that is very reminiscent of the male orgasm whereas Zerg play a different more sketchy kind of game. That analogy I thought was spot on. The earlier and to me contradictory remark about the Zergs supposed female economy however did make me think that she had no idea how the races are played (before she redeemed herself). Zergs nurturing their units? The Overmind, or anyone assuming his role, sacrifice units like no other. If anyone is nurturing and babysitting their units it would be a Terran. Treating every Siege Tank like a baby and every Marine like a potential rape victim. | ||

Treating every Siege Tank like a baby and every Marine like a potential rape victim. Exactly, I almost want to write a madlib of her paper and paint zerg as the dispensable, brutish, primitive, unintelligent MALES who are carelessly sacrificed like animals. Much like human MALES have been treated throughout human history, as very much disposable and expendable, each individual zerg unit is disposable and expendable. Their buildings look very phallic to me. I haven't read the whole thread, but the spore colony is clearly an uncircumsized penis and the evolution chamber and hydralisk are both mighty phallic looking. It's men who suffer the most from war, nations are built on the blood and bones of young men and boys. Far more men throughout human history have been killed in war than women. Similarly, in a game of starcraft, even when the zerg win, they almost ALWAYS suffer the most casualties. Therefore, starcraft encourages us as a society to view men as disposable, the last off the titanic, the first into the battle. I really hate to go off on a tangent here about gender relations, but I'll leave you all with this. Feminists and gender egalitarians, and I make the distinctions because feminists are clearly not interested in equality, as that could not be achieved by empowering only one gender, often forget one immutable aspect of human nature. Eggs are expensive, sperm is cheap. Females have finite reproductive capacities, men are virtually unlimited. Therefore, men very indeed ARE disposable, our species could easily survive, grow, and prosper with far fewer males than females. Though this sounds very darwinian, remember just how much most of humanity is driven by animalistic instinct. It behooves us, from a purely evolutionary perspective, to preserve females, it doesn't hurt us to dispose of males. This is reflected in how our societies behave and it has been throughout human history. One needs only to point to the fact that males are far more frequently relegated to jobs and activities which endanger their lives than women, including military service. | ||

Women in this and many computer games are depicted as sexual objects, and nothing more. Simply put, women are much more than that. Women, men… we are people, humans… nothing more, nothing less. Just because some of us have breasts, and others penises, does not make either more of an object of sex, nor more an object of power. Lol how old is this person?? Isn't it supposed to be penii, not penises?? | ||

Women haven't taken any roles, they have been given roles by men really. Since men have set the standards for acceptable behaviour for women, the women have pretty much been forced into submission. So I hope you don't think that women throughout history have chosen to be submissive, they are born into a pre-made gender role. Men are too, however since men have had much greater power than women historically speaking (and still today) they don't really complain now do they. What do you mean "with no assurance of success". So you are saying it's dangerous to let women be equal and be in charge more? lol please. Think of all the shit man has started; wars and what not. I don't really know what to say about this one, except that I think you're having too much bias against women, going into this discussion. actually this sites says different... http://www.sacredwarrior.org/?page_id=701 | ||

I think that alot problems are not men but the women who infuelence there decisions, women are no angels so dont presume they are, they have went against there natures and thats why our world is so screwed because each generation isn't being taken care of as it should of been and isnt being taught in education either. Nature always had it so roles would be played and going against nature is why the world is in state it is in now, it nothing do with equality it was everything to do with a balance. | ||

Who would have though that women are what the're stereotyped to be unless some crazy fool capitalizes on it? Even more, who would have thought that Starcraft engenders female steriotism unless a dumbass crazy fool points it out? (Also, everyone must recognize that this makes ZvZ the sexiest mu) ZvZ is my favorite. | ||

and regarding ZvZ..... what does that make Jaedong @_@? EDIT: In defense for the woman, just because you write ONE article and troll through a feminist lens doesn't mean we all need to email her as angry starcraft nerds "wtf j00 n00b u n33d to get laid and gtfo back to the kitchen bitch." That type of reply does to us exactly what this article did for her. | ||
