There is plenty of reason to insult you when you come out with a sexist attitude like that, maybe tossgirl didn't do well in bw, but does that say that women are completely incapable of being good at sc? no, it just means tossgirl wasn't amazing. | ||

having said that though SlayerS_Jessica herself scouted based on her skills and looks. That line kind of disappointed me with the "and looks". I hope something was lost in translation. Because honestly if she is a good player she could have one tooth and the face of a horses backside for all I care. The games are what matters. | ||

I do feel the need to insult you because your stupidity and misogyny is insulting to me. Yes biologically men tend to be more athletic than women but for one it's completely irrelevant in e-sports, and second that doesn't mean "men will always be superior at everything they do." I'm just confused why he isn't banned already for his comment. Such language would get you fired from most jobs. | ||

The probable reason why mainly guys are doing so well at the top level is simply due to the numbers of males playing games vs females. having said that though That line kind of disappointed me with the "and looks".

Right have ment, the way she looked from a gaming POV, not from a body pov Like, she looks professional not like she looks great | ||

 I suppose it's cool in a way, if she doesn't make it in GSTL and all, she can at least take some wins at MLG and other events. PS. I hope that's 22 Korean age. Still kinda old though for a progaming career start. | ||

It's business. If you have to pick between two players with about the same skill, you should always go after the one that has the potential of bringing you more fans and sponsors. | ||

Take for example the constant spelling and grammitical errors that pop up all the time. This alone makes me think the bridge between us and them has a few holes, and things are getting lost in translation. Regarding whether these values of beauty still excist, I really couldn't say. Spending a few months in korea I became really aware of the significant of being attractive. but maybe I was to generalising on that subject in my previous post. I'll let someone more deep-rooted in south korean society tackle that subject. Here's an interesting post made earlier in the thread. I'm not blaming them for ignorance towards their widened cultural context. I think there is something wrong with what they see as acceptable and I try to point that out. It's part of the process of cultural exchange. Only because they do not (yet) notice their grammatical mistakes it does not mean there's nothing wrong with it, even though they do not seem so important and someone should point that out if they think it is important. I'm not saying "they should have known", but "i dont think that's okay" (e.g. Physiognomy) Btw, I'm sorry if I can't respond to everyone so quickly. I'm on a tablet device and al that posting, quoting and editing is kind of cumbersome | ||

Women consistently prove to be superior multitaskers. They also have better listening skills, and will probably be much less likely to ignore an in-game audio alert. On her name, I was hoping she would go the same route as Alicia and have a name that's counter indicative of her gender. Something like SlayerS_Rupert or SlayerS_Stephen. | ||
