You pander to someone, whether that someone feels pandered is irrelevant. It is possible to "fail" to pander to someone. For example, I might try to pander to vegetarians--by offering raw steak. They would be disgusted, but that doesn't mean I didn't try pandering to them. A "male" not *feeling* pandered does not mean he wasn't pandered. | ||

It indicates that she is not capable of stealing builds off of better opponents, let alone create her own, and just repeat the couple builds she learned over and over, for 10-12 hours a day, like so many progamers out there. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, would be awesome if her hard training would actually pay off. | ||

Regardless of the fact that Scarlett is a community member or very skilled SC2 player bringing her up as the poster example of a female gamer IS a difficult subject, and certainly leaves room for discussion either way. Though his comment might not have been the most friendly im not sure the content of your comment holds any real relevance for THAT particular discussion either. | ||
