It made perfect sense you just obviously didn't understand it. Why would we segregate bronze players? I DON'T KNOW PREHAPS BECAUSE... THIS IS ACTUALLY BASED ON SOMETHING IN THE GAME?? I'm not calling the podcast sexist i was responding to someone actually calling me sexist somehow. I'm saying, why should it even exist it we are all equal in the game. Why do women need 'exposure in the scene'. They can get noticed just the same as anyone else can (obviously even easier infact), really don't think they need a podcast with a stereotypical pink font for 'Girls in Starcraft' to make their opinions shared. Half of the comments are now about their appearance; So is it doing what you are saying is intended here? | ||

Half of the comments are now about their appearance; So is it doing what you are saying is intended here? all 4 of these women are involved in the game and the scene in some way. what's your point then? everyone needs exposure in the game, this podcast just happens to have focused on these 4 ladies. they have also had incontrol, wheat, and i'm sure many others, are you saying those shows are in fact insulting to you in some way??! wow. some people are hard to please. btw, if you're getting trolled by the typical morons with those appearance comments, i don't know what to say. idiots are everywhere. just because they're getting baited to post those stupid comments by this podcast doesn't mean the podcast itself is garbage or sexist. so you know what? instead of posting on why this podcast isn't needed because you perceive some inequality, how about a bit of thanks for these people who are taking time to post quality content? | ||

Anna's interview was the most hilarious. ill never look at incontrol and napkins the same way anymore. pretty messed up to hear that kelly went through all the harassment people throw at her. its good to see that she is taking it very well and not letting assholes get to her. when is the ETA of the next episode? itll be pretty interesting to hear some masters league female interviews. or diamond if u cant find any masters league :o the lighting round does need to be faster though =P the last song made me wince >.o but overall, it was a good show | ||

Wasn't there a Master Zerg Female player? I forget her name, but she was mentioned as missing and it turns out she was moving on with her life due to financial issues. | ||

Because females are greatly under-represented in e-sports and when it comes to being seriously involved with video games face a stigma from both general society and from the gaming community itself. If females were actually treated the same as males by the SC2 community then you might have a point but they're not. | ||
