To be fair, how many players play 2 pro games, don't stream or cast and have farewell threads dedicated to them? Still found some of the comments ridiculous mind. | ||

Naturally emotional creatures man (pun intended because there are a lot of examples of the boys not being too thrilled about losing either). You need to have that killer instinct. | ||

They replayed sOs vs Innovation on Neo Planet S where sOs went tempests versus Innovation's standard comp. It lasted 1 hour and Eve eventually won. Since everyone agrees Aphrodite is among the best female pros and pretty good at the game regardless, Eve was still good at the game. Certainly better than most of the lot complaining about girls on teams. On August 05 2013 10:35 StarStruck wrote: How about tossgirl losing to Greg?

Of course, it's just so amazing the level of nonsense that comes out. Shit I would never say out loud in front of my girlfriend, mother or sister. | ||

From my view, some of the positive stuff is incredibly' patronising and to overlook that is to perpetuate the very sexism that people rail against. It's not just negative comments that create a sexist environment. | ||

'It's a man's world' kind of infers that it is a natural state of affairs, or is some kind of unchangeable, immutable law of nature. Saying 'it's an activity largely populated by men' is more neutral. | ||

I don't want to seem like an ass, but people are making a fuss over nothing. She basically did nothing for the entire course of her career. | ||

Saying 'it's an activity largely populated by men' is more neutral. I always wondered why so many people try to attest social issues to deep, abstract things like society/culture, or the human psyche. Female oppression is soley from one reason-- physical inferiority. Look at the world around you. Strong animals prey on weaker ones. Hell, look at our history. Men have suffered a hell of a lot worse things from other men that women have. People try to find an explanation for murder, or war, or oppression, anything else, but if you just look at life itself you'll find your answers. We are no more different than lions. We kill, mate, eat, and die. It's how it's been since the dawn of life, and it's how life will continue to be. A few people in developed countries try to find the root of humanities problems and the answers to what they deem as barbaric, while the world around them burns. Life is violent chaos, where the weak die or are manipulated, and the strong live until they meet someone stronger. A "scholarly" approach will do nothing to change the nature of life. | ||

"All you people and your skooling and your fancy educations trying to understand the world through your books and the writings of people you never met. I look out my window and see facts. Women be smaller than me, they cry more and they don,t know how to change a tire. That's all the proof I need to know that women don't like to play hard video games."

Also I find the "we are no better than animals" argument really ironic. The very sentence and its articulation, logic, and self-awareness certainly isn't something a hippopotamus would say or think. | ||
