If she is on the roster, I hope she plays and succeeds. It would be sad to see her get written off after a loss as being "a stunt". She will have to play well to get respect from the wider community I think.. | ||

SlayerS_Jessica herself scouted based on her skills and looks Why should looks have any bearing... are they recruiting her as a player or a publicity stunt? | ||

It's not like bw where you gotta get a pro gamer license to even be considered for a spot on a team. | ||

Negative reactions to having a girl on the team etc. I wouldnt be suprised to see the same disparaging remarks aimed at her on TL.net  Unfortunately it seems to the mentality of the community....(ie the reaction to the female interviewers at NASL for example..)Oh please give it a rest, said female interviewer already has more fans than most players who are actually you know, good at the game. Boohoo it must be so tough being attractive! Everyone gets negative attention, there are haters for every community figure male or female, I'm sick of women trying to paint the entire community as being full of hateful misogynists just because they received some criticism. | ||

Regardless of how well she can actually play, this is clearly a publicity move. That in itself wouldn't be too bad but: 1. It appears like a demonstration of equal opportunities and emancipation while 2. subversively reinforcing chauvinistic stereotypes by associating womens success with their appeal to men. So it's not just sexist, it even disguises itself as the opposite. It puts womens success at the mercy of their appeal towards men, which is one of the most subtle and unfair prejudices towards women. And you cannot tell me that her looks and appeal to men did not play a role in her recruitment. They could have picked thousands of other girls. And if one tries to argue that one has to pick from the thousands of girls by some aspect, then making it her looks reinforces the picture of the dominance of male interest whether you want it or not. The people here saying that her looks are not important are making it even worse, because they are acting as if this issue did not actually exist. Even if she plays well, it still reinforces the stereotype that only women who appeal to men can be successful. And the same is true for TossGirl. You should rethink your enthusiasm. | ||
