But please put yourself into my perspective. Think like you are a girl for a sec. A girl has her boobs signed (and btw, I see the humor in it. Its funny). GOTTA LOVE GIRL GAMERS (emphasis my own) Do you not see? Yes, okay men like breasts. Since that's the case, now I know never to mention anything opposite of that on a male dominated site. Please, just stop posting about what I said. I get it, what I said is BS to all you. Thanks. Stephis, I haven't posted yet, but I really do want to have this discussion, so I hope you'll keep posting. That said, I don't appreciate the "victim" stance you're adopting. You came out of the gates calling several people, some who deserve it and some who may not, sexist. This is not "just stating your opinion", them's fightin' words, so you should be prepared to defend it. The one comment "gotta love girl gamers" by itself doesn't say to me what it does to you, and so I would like to you to explain your opinion calmly. Even though it does bother me that nerdy girls of all types often see their minority position as an opportunity to dress slutty and get fawned over, I don't see that this statement is necessarily stating that all girl gamers do this, or that they all should. Some men on this site literally don't know any women who play or watch Starcraft, and seeing evidence of one who obviously does is nice. With regards to the comments about this being a step forward for esports, this is clearly true. It's a well documented psychological and sociological phenomenon that women are more attracted to men they see as having high status. Therefore this photo can be seen as evidence that playing starcraft well can earn you respect from women, rather than disdain, as many of us have felt before. Please do not see this as a personal attack on you, and please extend us the same respect you would want and answer with something other than "you're all men so you wouldn't understand." That's just demeaning. | ||

Despite the fact this objectification of women does occur in other sports, it doesn't follow that it is in any way right. In fact, Starcraft players should actually seek to avoid cases like this in order to promote equality in the community instead of promoting another patriarchal sport. Instances like this do inevitably undermine women who wish to be viewed as more than 'eye candy' to men. How do you think the majority of female Starcraft fans, (or females in general) would respond to this kind of behavior? Stephls obviously feels uncomfortable about it so why should it be the case that others would feel differently? On the other hand, a lot of male responses have commented on the girl's weight/appearance and/or expressed approval of this. For me at least, this just represents a lack of respect towards women as equals and the objectification of women. | ||

Well, if you ignore the obvious watermelons in front of you which are extremely uncommon on the more slender ladies(save implants, but let's not go there), the fingers are a dead give away. I wouldn't call her "fat", but she may have a little meat on her bones. | ||

Chill out people. Girl wanted her own breasts signed, nobody made her. If I went to the next MLG and got HuK to sign my chest, would this swing the sexism of the SC2 community back to neutral? If anything you guys are the ones being condescending. Let people make their own freaking choices, women don't need to be protected by men 24/7. The only thing that's offensive about this in any way shape or form are the people insulting the girl and the players which isn't OK under any circumstances regardless. Not to mention it looks like they got warned/banned anyway. User was warned for this post | ||

Not sure whats with all the comments on her appearance. I think it's great to have a wide range of fans no matter what anyone looks like. We should accept everyone who is making e-sports bigger. | ||
