Both Huk and Destiny were completely cool about the whole thing, truly nice gentlemen all around. I was too nervous to get DJ Wheat to sign them, so he signed my wallet instead >.< ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v163/GreenMidgetYoda/zKGRZ.jpg) source: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/giiup/i_wasnt_going_to_post_but_i_have_no_one_to_really/ edit: made pic smaller | ||

Even with the progamers, non of them really seem very "nerdy" but I'm sure there is still those that live in their moms basement. | ||

on topic though, I do think this is pretty hilarious, and you'd think that a pro gamer is probably low on the list of potential people to be asked to sign a woman's chest. But she got a funny picture she'll probably enjoy for a while, and HuK/Destiny got to play with boobs. win/win. | ||

You seem like you would want to come out as a equal rights & shit dude but you only come out as an oppressor, defining what is right or wrong for a person to do.

I can see as a woman why you'd get upset so quickly, but honestly there's really nothing to be upset over. It has nothing to do with the portrayal of girl gamers. If you asked any male what they thought a typical girl gamer is like, I guarantee you that they won't say a girl who likes to get autographs on her tits. | ||

Compare photos of male gamers doing a shoot for a sponsor plugging their products to female gamers. The stark contrast is hilarious. Pretty sad that you are thin skinned enough to let something like this thread offend you. Lol. I agree with you that the chick who got her chest signed is a clown, but I don't agree with how you are trying to make a pointless stand in this thread.

When a man looks at a woman, the first natural impulse is to judge their attractiveness. It doesn't matter what you do and how you look.

Naturally, all human beings, regardless of sex, want to appear attractive, and as a result become "sex symbols." Some people go about this in different ways. Of course her actions were bound to start up some interesting discussions. It takes a certain person to actually do something like this in public, and I commend her for it. She is not afraid of who she is, and that is great. These types of stories help the spread of eSports, even in the most superficial of ways. Any publicity is good publicity. this is bound to show up on a number of popular communities with gaming inclinations. If you truly want to be outraged by perceptions of women in the world, take a look at the situation in UAE. Women basically have zero rights. Realize that you are very fortunate to be apart of the western society where you wouldn't be sentenced to death for doing something like this. | ||

Just becuase you see 1 whore getting her tits signed at MLG doesn't mean that all us men are going to think less of women...or women gamers for that matter. This happens in every sport in the world i bet, i don't see why you think that being a female gamer means that you have some special right to be treated diffrently. And im sure the memory of getting her breasts signed would last her a lot longer then some piece of paper wow great. Now she has a nice story to tell. "i hope idra stops raging, because other people will think that all pro gamers rage" See how fucking silly that sounds? Just think, if one whore getting her tits signed makes you so uneasy about female gamers .. Are you sure the internet is the right place for you? Your counterexample is actually a great example of how people, even or especially on the internet, don't give a damn about how silly their arguments or opinions sound when faced with logic. So much discussion pops up about professionalism and manners and esports over the smallest happenings, and none of them really would be justified if people thought rationally. Unfortunately for us all, we don't. Some intellectually lazy fellow out there will invariably look at one salient member of a population and use that to build upon his personal stereotype of that population. So while I agree that no one in his right mind should take an instance of a specific girl acting in a specific way and conflate that with intrinsic female tendencies, I don't agree that because it makes no sense, no one does it. | ||

So far the only time I can ever recall an SC2 progamer getting multiple fangirl chants was oGsTOP in last season's GSL (i think). I would have hoped that someone cute like MKP would have developed a following by now. Probably won't happen until SC2 is shown on national tv in Korea. | ||

1) I started this because I saw a post saying "gotta love girl gamers". It offended me as a girl gamer. Can anyone understand that? 2) I don't care about this girl whatsoever. She can do what she wants to do. 3) I admit what I said has flaws. I was just speaking my feelings, not trying to make an argument (like I said 5 times) 4) This has taught me that I will no longer say anything about women on team liquid Now please, lets drop all this? | ||

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 | ||

All the guy was trying to say was that the girl was desperate for attention and got it the one way she could -- with her tits. The poster did not imply that she sold her body for money. Yea, the female poster seemed a little offended because the statement "you gotta love girl gamers" implies that she would also get her tits signed in order to get some attention from Huk and Destiny when clearly that's not the case. | ||

Couldn't care less about the girl's appearance, it's the idea of boobs signed by progamers which is awesome. I would even say it's better if it's not a top model, because then it would probably be a fake to advertise esports. (you know, for those not convinced by the "be a progamer and you will win thousand of dollars per tournament", they could start the "be a progamer and you will sign boobs) Seriously, e-sport is growing (I too loled at that btw), but the hot chicks won't just start putting their signed boobs on community forums... And gratz to the guy who said "Achievement unlocked by Huk and Destiny", best sentence in the thread :D :D | ||

I personally don't view this picture as anything to do with gamer girls. I only am looking at this thread to see more tits, like most guys here. From the responses here, it's clear almost any post other than "nice tits" is going to be attacked. The thread would have been fine but then there are posts generalizing from this one picture... | ||

Its a chick who really fucking loves ESPORTS and wanted her chest signed. Which is a good thing insofar as she got exactly what she wanted, but the fact that people are being so juvenile about this is astonishing to me. I don't think it really has any implications for the growth of ESPORTS other than a funny joke, but I guess its cool that this sort of thing is happening. oh and as a side note to all the trolls that are screaming about "omg ugly slut" please go home and find a different forum to troll. | ||

Most girls just want attention, and if they have the assets to show off to get their attention, then why not? She was a gaming tourney, not a club. | ||

TorcH got to the final of his qualifying group, one BO3 from qualifying, in that GSL and HuK is better than TorcH. Also IdrA's results lately haven't been that great to be honest, he's in a funk. You're using the fact that he didn't advance in a tournament vs. the best Koreans in the world to show that he's bad? Is that a joke? Guess who else didn't advance in that tournament? Jinro, mOOnGlaDe, MVP, MarineKing, NaDa, and MorroW. Are those players 'bad'? | ||

I can honestly say I never EVER expected SC2 (or E-sports in general) to get popular enough for players to be signing boobies. That is so epic. They're nice tits too, so that's a bonus! Haha, gratz to Huk and Destiny, gotta be moving up in the world if your signing boobies. :D | ||

More girls, more girls with minimal clothing (i.e. those damn fine razer girls), and signitures on chests can only help and grow e-sports to draw people in and make them think e-sports can be on the same level as sports. kudos to the girl, huk, and destiny! ^ ^ | ||

Those game titles actually made me lol, especially Reach for the Tits. Anyway, I was specifically responding to the person who said that having players sign female breasts would help promote esports, which is clearly an uninformed and unintelligent comment. I personally don't want esports to go down the path of regular sports, since I think they differ so much in the both the player skill and viewer demographic departments. I didn't say that SC2 is going to fail as a sport, but I think that it would be bad to attempt to generate the "conventional sports" image for it. | ||

It has nothing to do with the fact that she was a gamer. I'm sure if she liked rock music, hockey or ping-pong she would have got a top player in any of those fields to sign her chest. @stephls : If your goal is to fight people being portrayed as sex symbols, you have about 7000 years of history to undo. Also, trillions of dollars in marketing campaigns. I'm not going to say there's equal representation of each gender in sex symbol roles - but it would be rediculous to say that only females are portrayed as such. | ||

Overexposure simply means you need a "higher dose" next time around to get to the same level of excitement and thus it might be more advantageous for us males to "save the dose of boob exposure" for the time spent with your girlfriend. (*1) Philippus Theophrastus Paracelsus (1493 - 1541) coined a very very good phrase: "Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ist ohne Gift. Allein die Dosis macht, daß ein Ding kein Gift ist." [Every thing is poison, nothing is without poison. Only the dosage determines if a thing is poisonous or not.] EDIT: tl;dr: I do like boobs, but I HATE overexposure of a good thing and think it is a waste to use things when there is no connection to them at the time and place. | ||

I don't know about the rest of you, but, I know I fantasize about famous people. That being said, my reply was directed at your correlation between the men oogling at the picture and the lack of girls in the professional gaming scene. You did not retort to, or even address your the fact that 'us banana eating un-evolved barbarians' had slim to nothing to do with the presence of women in professional gaming.

Why can't something just be fun, have a laugh, make a few comments and move on? I mean for real everything typed on the internet isn't 100% serious all the time. A few boob comments doesn't mean every guy on this forum is now going to walk around with a club knocking any girl they see over their head and dragging them back to their cave. And if they do end up doing that they probably would have regardless of this thread and said picture. Just so sick how everything fun deteriorates into something like this. News flash, this isn't the first girl in the world to have their cleavage signed. Even the old lady in Happy Gilmore got her cleavage signed! | ||

I don't really know the semantics of it, but, I highly doubt sexism plays a factor in placement for GSL spots. That sounds as if it would be somewhat illegal. If anything, it would help them get babied by GOM. (Similar to some foreign players). It seems like you're over reacting to some guys liking boobs. Simple biology I would like to reiterate that I haven't checked any facts in sexism in SC2 placement Why blame the girl who does this when this very thread already has a ton of people going "omgyaaaay half-naked chicks <333333". Now she is an 'attention whore', which is an insult, for abusing male stupidity and single-mindedness, but that's a fact of life or so? Personally I thought this was mildly amusing, and certainly it's nice for e-sports growth to have people with enough star power to make this worthwhile, but otherwise it's insignificant and hardly needs discussion. What sickens me is that every time something like this happens, there's not just debate about if it is sexist or not etc. but that there are a bunch of people who are so quick to insult the girl, going as far as to call her fat and ugly. Those things show a lot of male gamer stereotypes are actually based on real people that can quickly derail any discussion about women to appear degrading and hostile. | ||

It's like me saying I don't like any SC2 player just because I don't like some things 1-2 of them do that I consider disrespectful. There's a reason we're individuals, not sheep. Though, come to think of it that "gotta love girl gamers" guy must be a parents' basement dweller acne-ridden nerd, I mean that's the stereotype, isn't it. | ||

How would you feel if you were in a picture that got uploaded at MLG and there were 20 pages of people calling you ugly and pointing your acne or bad haircut?

IIRC, she uploaded it herself on a blog. Criticizing her for her looks is just as superficial and shallow as uploading a pic of your signed boobs though imo. Its not that she is fat or should not have fun and get her boobs signed if she wants to, but uploading a pic of it to a blog is blatant attention whoring, dont you think? gotta be prepared for some rude comments if you put yourself in the spotlight, the internet isnt disneyland. | ||

Let me just say that my posts in the beginning were strictly from my emotions and not very logical. There are some things that I said that don't make any sense and I realize that. (Like assuming that just because one person does something, then people will think that everyone in that group will do that). Honestly, I hardly care about this situation anymore. What I just want everyone to realize is if you truly want esports to grow, it isn't by signing as many breasts as possible. (Although I do know that this particular picture gives publicity, so its good. But think again that this woman was only seen on TL, r/starcraft, and at MLG. So is it really any promotion outside the community?). Anyway, if you want esports to grow, it is by accepting women into the community. Don't treat them any differently! Let them be gamers and ignore the fact that they are a girl or have long discussions about there breasts. Respect them. Like someone else had said, there shouldn't be a label of "gamer girls", it should just be "gamers". Its true, but that isn't how it is, unfortunately, Obviously, no one forced this woman to do this. She can and will do whatever she wants and I'm sure it was fun for her. More power to her. Hell, I'm jealous she even met Huk. I'm just more saddened by the posts that followed. Thought this was a more respectful community. I've learned that this isn't an issue that can be discussed on TL. Too many opposing forces, but there are people here that agree with me. To end, I just want quote a PM I received yesterday. The sad thing is, the fact that you're not able to say anything in defense of women's rights without being subject to criticism and ridicule exemplifies the fact that this community is so patriarchal. I was actually genuinely saddened to see that picture because it would be awesome for sex equality to be promoted in Starcraft as it is a developing sport and reaches a lot of people - male and female alike. A lot of people don't seem to recognise how significant and disappointing that incident actually is. | ||

To put it in perspective, girls do not need to do these things to be part of the SC2 community. Nobody is asking female gamers to act like fangirls, nobody is asking them to get their bodies signed or anything. In fact, a lot of the men in the community could be called fangirls, if we really wanted to go that far. They do things that any pro sports community would ridicule, at least. The fact is that one person wanted to do something that's considered a little edgy, (and yes, attractive) in other sports scenes, so power to her. If you want to promote sex equality in Starcraft, you encourage female gamers to go out and compete at high levels. Most fans and watchers aren't anywhere near pro level anyways, so judging the actions of one girl at a massive gaming event is pretty hypocritical, if you aren't going to look at all the stuff male fans are doing, too. (Trust me, it gets pretty wierd) | ||

If everything us humans had to do, had to comform to everyone else's moral codes, nothing would ever get done. The point is that "fun" is a bad excuse, because we do not live alone. People are citing "freedom" or "its just for fun" as reasons for not having to consider the consequences of their actions. Sure the women of the 60s were burning their bras, but what did they trade for it? Super skimpy clothes and plastic surgery for bigger boobs just so they can present ever more of their "attributes" to men in a competition to please the men. The way I see it they traded one supposed evil for a real evil because through the ever present boobs in our societies and the loose ways in which people treat sex we have lost so much. Especially the second one has disadvanteges only for women. The point is that none of us is alone in the world and we all have to respect "our fellow man". This means that if we are walking across the street without using a pedestrian crossing and do that right in front of an elementary school we are responsible for kids copying that behaviour and having accidents. If we go around half-naked or start having sex in public (OR show such behaviour on media which are available for minors ... like the internet) then kids will copy that too. Freedom is NOT the freedom to do whatever you want until you get sued for it! If you adapt one sentence which Rosa Luxemburg said ever so slightly you get a prett good definition of freedom: "Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit des Andersdenkenden, ..." [Freedom is always the freedom of the one who thinks differently] original quote which she used to criticise the russian revolution and the intolerant behaviour against non-communists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Luxemburg "Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit des Anderen." [Freedom is always the freedom of other people.] my adaptation which limits MY freedom when I infringe upon anyone elses freedom. I think this kind of behaviour was clearly visible in the reactions of the japanese people after the tsunami and many people admired it. No one complained and whined because that would bother other people with your own personal sorrows. The bottom line is that everyone of us is part of a society and whatever we do - unless it is behind closed doors - affects the people around us. Does anyone have the right to walk over the feelings of other people? If your society thinks it is acceptable for girls to let their boobs be signed by people then by all means do it, but DONT expect everyone else to follow you with that. | ||

Nobody is asking female gamers to act like fangirls, nobody is asking them to get their bodies signed or anything. In fact, a lot of the men in the community could be called fangirls, if we really wanted to go that far. They do things that any pro sports community would ridicule, at least. The fact is that one person wanted to do something that's considered a little edgy, (and yes, attractive) in other sports scenes, so power to her. If you want to promote sex equality in Starcraft, you encourage female gamers to go out and compete at high levels. Most fans and watchers aren't anywhere near pro level anyways, so judging the actions of one girl at a massive gaming event is pretty hypocritical, if you aren't going to look at all the stuff male fans are doing, too. (Trust me, it gets pretty wierd) It IS a womens rights issue, because it affects the way men see women and since this gets wayyyyyyyyy more exposure than your average girl asking for an autograph on a sheet of paper it doesnt matter it was only one girl. She is basically doing it for her own attention, but what happens next time when a guy asks "can I sign on your boobs?" It might create an awkward or worse situation. | ||

You are so fucking sensitive to this, WHY?? She asked them. No guy asks a girl to sign their boobs. ITS JUST BOOBS. Not only that; its just her fucking cleavage. Write another essay about it because nobody is going to care or read it. also; get laid. User was warned for this post | ||

People are citing "freedom" or "its just for fun" as reasons for not having to consider the consequences of their actions. Sure the women of the 60s were burning their bras, but what did they trade for it? Super skimpy clothes and plastic surgery for bigger boobs just so they can present ever more of their "attributes" to men in a competition to please the men. The way I see it they traded one supposed evil for a real evil because through the ever present boobs in our societies and the loose ways in which people treat sex we have lost so much. Especially the second one has disadvanteges only for women. The bottom line is that everyone of us is part of a society and whatever we do - unless it is behind closed doors - affects the people around us. Does anyone have the right to walk over the feelings of other people? If your society thinks it is acceptable for girls to let their boobs be signed by people then by all means do it, but DONT expect everyone else to follow you with that. Couple things, here. First, it was men forcing women to keep it covered up, now it's men supposedly forcing women to show it off. Honestly, I sincerely wonder what has to happen for people to be satisfied. The only answers I've heard have been to fundamentally change what people are attracted to. As long as you have a society where people want more sex than they're getting, you're going to have people talking about fairness and equality between sexes, and I don't think you can say that society now is any more evil than previous incarnations of the same aspects of human nature. No hate, but most of what I've seen of modern feminism is plenty of "this is bad" and very little of "this is what it should look like." As far as your last point goes, responsibility and rights. It's a two way street. If you want the right to have freedoms to perform actions, you do have the responsibility to avoid infringing on the rights of people to be protected from those actions. At the same time, society can't function if it constantly bends to the tyranny that could be associated with people who demand that rights are taken away from others because they are easily offended. So yes, I do claim to have the right to walk over the feelings of other people, if what they're asking me to do amounts to something that I deem ridiculous. Sure, I'm not getting all my buddies together for a bondage bash inside the local mall, (even if I wanted to, I wouldn't, out of respect for fellow mall-goers), but if someone came in to TL asking everyone politely to avoid any talk of feminism because it hurts their feelings to see it, I sincerely doubt that your stance on stepping on feelings would remain the same as the one you posted. | ||

It's not offensive to me that she got her boobs signed and posted the picture. Whatever. It IS offensive the number of comments saying she's fat, ugly, a whore, etc. WTF? In my opinion she looks pretty normal sized, but even if she were fat that's no excuse. When you see a person (male or female) on the street who isn't very attractive, do you shout about that to their face? I bet not, it's just plain rude and mean. It's equally unacceptable here. And the "OMG it's a GIRL!" thing in the SC community does feel really weird. | ||

No progamer is going to ask a random chick if he can sign her boobs. If it happens, you can come back here, quote this, and shove it in my face, and maybe I'll make a youtube video about how wrong I was on the internet, but... no way. That is absolutely not a statement you can defend. And yeah, it got exposure. The community is largely male, males are attracted by female breasts, and as far as I can tell from the picture, that pair isn't all that bad. You don't need a PHD is psychology to know that if you put it out there, people are gonna look, and people are gonna comment. Feel free to ask your fellow TLers to not look at the female chest with two "local" progamers' signatures on it. It's edgy, edgy stuff gets views on the internet. | ||

These kinds of topics should be confined to blog posts, if that, as no worthwhile discussion can be generated, only kiddie remarks such as "hur dur gotta luv girl gamers/breasts/swoon/etc" or endless bickering about how pointless this thread actually is. | ||

That's why I've never posted my tits on reddit. No need to discuss the fact, its intuitive. [/QUOTE] first, in that picture she is fully dressed and there was no implication either guy actually touched her body. if she was blowing these guys in the bathroom obviously no one would be coming to her defense. personally im not interested in her aspect of this situation at all, its the guys on tl i find sad. second i couldent care less about whose talking shit on reddit and wont make any attempt to stop the shit talk on reddit because i know its way past impossible. people go to reddit to see outrageous stuff and laugh, some people go there specifically to talk shit and nothing else. however this was reposted on tl and the insults im talking about were posted on tl. third if ONLY girls were calling that chick a whore i probably wouldent even care but from the way posts were worded, its from people attracted to women (prob guys) who have standards probably too high to be realistic (remember this is an INTERNET GAMING FORUM) who also think that other guys want to laugh at this girl being called a fat whore. girls have been using their looks for attention since the human race existed. yeah she did that for attention but religion in the world will cease to exist before women stop trying to get attention for their looks. theres bound to be plenty of attractive guys who read tl and can get hot girls, regardless it doesnt justify talking shit. | ||

What sucks is that when girls do stuff like this it creates a stigma -- it's hard enough being a girl in the SC2 community. I don't want people to think I'm there for the attention. Then again I'm not gonna ask anyone to sign my chest. BM on the girls part, imo.But also shame on all of you for making such crazy lewd comments. Let's be adults, eh? This is StarCraft II not a Harley bar. | ||

(Trust me, it gets pretty wierd) Here's the thing about this. I gave Stephis a hard time yesterday for acting like a victim a fight she started, but I don't really think she's wrong about whether this is good for esports. In my earlier post I also said that I do believe this is a sign that esports is growing, as there exist women who think that being good at starcraft is worthy of their admiration, putting aside how this woman decided to express that. This is cool, because many of us male gamers (and I'm sure female gamers as well) have experienced disdain from "mainstream" women, more than from men, for spending so much time and energy on games. However, just because this is a sign that esports is growing does not mean that it is going to make it grow more. You say we should encourage female gamers to play and compete, and I agree. The sort of reactions that can be seen in this thread, such as insulting the appearance of the woman picture (whether or not the judgment is reasonable) or the desire expressed for her to perform additional services for the players, will make many women feel uncomfortable. Even worse is that these voices do not seem to be a minority. TL;DR: Women won't want to play starcraft if the community is seen as being full of sex-crazy adolescents who will ask them for "pix" and make lewd comments. If we want women to play starcraft someone needs to shut these people the hell up. | ||

When older, more respectable men see an attractive female wear cleavage-baring outfits, they have long perfected the method of quickly flashing their eyes away. They "looked", but they know to keep it discreet(which is cool with the ladies, they know full well you looked - they caught your eyes flick direction - but you didn't make it obvious). There is no way to do that, on the Internet, other than change the topic entirely. Respect and pro-gaming. As with anything, respect is earned, and in this case, earned through simply being a winner, earning sponsorship, and once again, WINNING. You don't earn respect by repeatedly losing tourneys. So steph, you said you want this differentiation between men and women gamers to stop, and just all of us being regarded one and the same. You also said "Put yourself in a woman's shoes" You understand what I'm getting at? We can't ask for either side to give special treatment to the other. We're not trying to be cold blooded. | ||

How does hiding behind a veil of anonymity make it any more acceptable? Some girl got her boobs signed and posted a picture. Whether she's drop-dead gorgeous or ugly as heck has absolutely nothing to do with the story so it's kind of sad that the community focuses on that. Harping on it (in either direction) only serves to push women further away from the community. My last girlfriend was somewhat of a gamer and she pretty much quit her game-of-choice's community because of immature comments about her weight/looks and people always hitting on her (and she didn't even post a picture!). Comments like those only serve to batter the girl's ego and make the commenter look pathetic. No one wins. | ||

The fact is that people were pumped because girls asking you to sign their breasts is a sweet status symbol.

She may have been showing off, but tbh, i think id show off too if i had my boobs signed by some awesome progamers! (And a previous poster said she felt this was degrading to female gamers? See, im a girl and i dont think its degrading at all :/ And it certainly doesnt make me feel like female gamers are being badly represented or whatever :/ ) And she certainly doesnt look fat. She looks normal. Not fat. Not anorexic. Normal. She looks like shes at a healthy weight. | ||

Nice post from Jinro. How did he get so wise? I honestly believe the vast majority of people on this site aren't stupid enough to see this and think that all girls behave this way and that's an excuse to insult them. There's just a few idiots about that make more noise than everyone else combined, and thankfully the mods here silence them. I would certainly never ask a guy to sign my breasts, but I have no problem with the girl in the photo doing it. I even think it's fun. A photo like this is not an excuse to treat her or me or any woman like she's just a piece of meat. I'm glad to see so many sensible people speaking up - hopefully we'll silence the idiot minority some day. Then we'll get more girls feeling brave enough to get more involved with the community, and we'll see the stereotypes change when there's more girl gamers about that just the ones in hotpants promoting Razer. | ||

According to average active viewers of TL, much less than 1% of the sc community comes here at all. Furthermore, a girl thinking about getting into starcraft isn't very likely to have visited a niche fan website for the game before trying it. I bought starcraft because i wanted to play starcraft, i didn't find this website for months after. Female culture is less accepting of gaming than male culture, thus you see less females gaming, It has little to nothing to do with a backwater website that nobody outside of a very small subset community has heard of. to take it a step further and say a particular thread is "the reason" girls dont game is another step into retardation. I got into starcraft because its a hobby my husband enjoys a lot, and i wanted to take part. I understand fully that teenage boys will make lewd comments about women, It is not going to stop me, or any reasonably motivated woman from taking part. People constantly jibe at July for being slightly overweight and nobody bats an eye, please stop this fuss over a few comments made about someone who quite clearly has a lot of self confidence anyway, A woman who is taking pictures of her tits, whilst wearing tiny panties... to post on the internet is very unlikely to be the sort of woman who gives a shit about what a 15 year old types in a post. Chill out guys | ||

This community is normally amazing but this thread is kind of a black eye right now. QFT. More threads getting out of hands like this means less boobs for me to sign in the future, which means less incentive to stream/practice, which means less motivation for most people to practice and place well in tournies, which means the death of e-sports as we know it. TL:DR if you hate on boobs, you're destroying e-sports. | ||

I honestly don't view this as a form of wanting attention, it was cute/fun and she just wanted to share it with people, if you don't want to give her that kind of attention, don't look or post (kind of hard, but yeah... you get my point). I don't understand the need to be blatantly mean. | ||

According to average active viewers of TL, much less than 1% of the sc community comes here at all.

Chill out guys I'm not sure what July being overweight has to do with this. It is a noticeable aspect of him, so obviously there will be some comments about it, but July is generally well-loved so they will be good-natured. If there actually would be people screaming "DEATH TO THE FATTY", they'd be banned (and this has happened), so that means you can't just categorize all comments about someone's weight as equal. The posts here perpetuate a male gamer stereotype of somehow hateful of and hostile to women. Maybe you can see past this: after all, it just happens on this tiny insignificant niche website(??) - but really, as far as the argument is concerned, teamliquid is all that matters. It was said on this website, which is representative for gaming websites. It happens on other places too, but that's not relevant other than to say the bad example shown here shows up beyond here too. I mean, good for you to not be offended by this, but what actually is your point? Because people should be 'big enough people' to not care too much about the hostility to women, then it's actually bad to be annoyed when said hostility happens? | ||

You realize that the attitude of elitists who believe that only a select few are capable of making good posts are probably the major contributing factor to the lack of new, quality posters on this site, right? TL has always come off as an extremely elitist and cliquey place, at least in my view. JUS SAYIN' <3 | ||

That's a TL member for you, so moderate: personally I wouldn't call "serious" people spamming fat/whore to a fangirl just sharing a funny memory with her (soon-to-be-ex as far as this thread goes) favorite SC community... I mean, cmon, you would see more skin on a beach. The idea was clearly not "I wanna show my booooobs", anybody would do this elsewhere than in a nerds' nest, right ? However, bad assumption to believe other sc2 fans would just see a sc2 fan thing... I guess asshole gamers are assholes before being gamers. [if this makes any sense in English] And to the hot-blooded feminist, just know you're playing against what you try to defend. Less passion, more reason All-in-all, epic thread. I'm new here but after the eagle stuff and some other random threads, I'm enjoying myself on this website. Expect more monologues hehe. | ||

Both Huk and Destiny were completely cool about the whole thing, truly nice gentlemen all around. I was too nervous to get DJ Wheat to sign them, so he signed my wallet instead >.< I doubt when you can have two fellows sign suggestive parts of your anatomy, you're too nervous to have a third fellow sign them. I'm not quite sure what to say beyond this. Funny stuff, I suppose. | ||

She's obviously a fan of both players, and a fan of Starcraft 2. Who are we to judge her, I can bet that loads of people have asked for autographs from people before, and some in more Tasteless (hurr) places than that. Just let it slide guys, we never see people bitching because Brian Johnson (Lead singer of ACDC) signs girls chests, why should here be any different. Apart from the obvious "hurr this isn't music, this is ESports arguement" the principal still stands, it's a fan, wanting an autograph.....off a person who their a fan of. | ||

1. There is only a handful in this thread taking it too serious, the rest reacting to it. 2. How can anyone call her fat? Especially since a lot of Americans post on this website, that's skinny by US standards and definately normal (and feminine) by European standards. 3. Go Huk! | ||

Someone asked if they could "touch my bicep." I said no I signed a dudes chest (he had a shirt on). I got challenged to an impromptu arm wrestle and immediately accepted. Victory obv Someone asked if they could take a pic with me pretending to hit them. I said no to that as well. Just thought I'd share in the off-chance any of these turn into a mega serious discussion as well. | ||

Well the problem with this is that if the person were a dick, they could use a little photo shop and seriously get incontrol in trouble with that somehow. Saying incontrol hits his fans and goes in an angry rage ahhh blah blah blah imba imba. But that would be a sweet ass fan picture though if I had one | ||

But I think every progamer should draw their own line when dealing with fans and nobody should judge them for it, so I'm not criticizing incontrol or anything. It's just a bit sad because it was a funny idea | ||
