I'd appreciate it if you didn't have random sexism in the show for no reason. Like when you used the word "bitches" repeatedly--some of us do find that word offensive. Don't get me wrong, swearing is fine, I was in a dreamy happy place when you were saying "fuck protoss". And it's not like I've never laughed at a sexist joke (when the joke was actually funny). Just...please, don't be sexist just for something to say. (Bear in mind: you will probably have a disproportionately large female audience. First, because I'm pretty sure zerg is the most played race among girls, and incidentally this trend existed before Sasha broke onto the scene--old female tournaments were like...60% zerg 30% terran. Second, Sasha is one of your presenters, and I'm pretty sure Sasha brings all the girls to the yard. I noticed this when I attended WCS NA live to see her, expecting to be one of maybe three girls in the audience, and then noticing the live audience was like...20% female. And then by contrast I watched the stream for the WCS EU finals, and couldn't spot a single girl in the audience. Correlation is not causation, of course, but I still suspect Sasha was responsible for quite a bit of that demographic difference). | ||

I don't find this offensive but I'll echo the sentiment because you're all a bunch of supernerds and it's painfully awkward. | ||

Jokes aside, someone start a gethenryawebcamandmicfund2013. Liked watching the IEM games and hearing, in a sense, how you all think of your own play. An insight into a bugs mind, I guess you could say | ||

There's a difference between a forum post from a 13 year old, and a video web broadcast of professionals controlling the content on their show. They could be culturally sensitive if they choose to be. Or they could actively choose not to be, and that might work out for them too--I hear Destiny manages to attract viewers with his style. It's a stylistic choice I suppose, but it's a choice they probably want to make on purpose and not by accident.

From my experience, women in their 40s find it extremely offensive. Women my age tend to be mildly annoyed by it, although it usually won't cause me to turn off a stream, just flinch a little and grimace. And I'm completely out of touch with what kids think these days. If rap is any indication, kids these days are all walking around calling themselves "bad bitches"--but something tells me rap might not be a completely accurate way of understanding the younger generation.... | ||

I kinda like the laid back, sponsor free, small nature of the show. So I disagree, say whatever you want guys =D as long as its in jest. | ||

When you use it as an insult you're equating something negative with femininity. For example, when you call someone a whiny little bitch you're saying that whining is inherently feminine. It's sexist in pretty much all the same ways that "faggot" is homophobic. | ||
