The sentence "nobody would be talking about her at all if she weren't female" can only be read one way, which is how I read it. He didn't say anything about her looks, he just said "female." Therefore he's saying that because she's female, her appearance is a fair topic. Pretty clear if you ask me. | ||

She played in a female only tournament.... Now perhaps she's actually on par with male players on that team, that I don't know. But from what I gather she got this position because she won a female only tournament, something that I don't really see as an "achievement". Perhaps if she had gotten into Code A, or something, then yeah I'd be like "yeah, that's a pretty legit move." I just hope she actually plays in GSL, and does well. Otherwise women are just getting preferential treatment in team acceptance. | ||

It's a huge achievement and without female only tournaments we will most likely always have men only tournaments. It's not a special treetment it's just fair. | ||

Last time I checked the rules of tournaments doesn't state you need to have a penis to participate. | ||

I don't see what the big deal is. I'm just as interested in how the male pro gamers look, too. Nada's body thread anyone? | ||

When fdemale gamers get chosen by their looks instead of their skill, this takes away legitimacy of the female players. In this case however aphrodite won a tournament that had most likely the strongest female lineup so far. Colagirl (who lost to aphrodite) was a grandmaster. So skillwise she is not bad. Let's see how good she gets as part of a professional team. | ||
