However, I don't think it's a as trivial as you make it. Watching streams, and reading chat and LR threads, one commonly stumbles across sexism. Female players who have gotten good enough to compete in the MLG brackets are sexualized by the community on a regular basis, while those who are unknown, and shielded by the ladder, can still pick up on the vibe from reading forums. All the known female SC2 players deal with this shit one way or another, and more power to them for doing it. But I think the point here is that having to deal with it significantly shrinks the pool of women who you are going see work hard to integrate into the community. That dealing with it is "part of being a female gamer" is the exactly the problem.

Ask any pro, male or female, they all take losses seriously. They all get pissed. It's not your reaction that matters, it's how you overcome it, and that's a skill that almost anyone can eventually master. I hope I didn't write anything that could be read as implying this, as it certainly isn't something I believe. | ||

And Pugget, it wasn't you that said the thing about women not being able to handle losses. It was actually a quote that someone posted a few pages back from DeSakura. Kind of sad to hear a female gamer bash on her own gender like that, but whatever. It probably has more to do with her culture then with reality. Kind of off topic, but speaking of culture, does anyone know if women are seen as these emotional nutbags in Asian countries? I think that's a point of view that's rare to hear nowadays in the states, but is that still prevalent in the East? | ||
