I figure I don't really have the voice to support esports in a significant way, but she sure does! I support someone who supports Starcraft! Good luck Anna! | ||

I'm sure Anna would recieve a lot of critique (or 'hate' as you put it) if she casted the GSL as well, their situation isn't really comparable. Anna gets a lot of auto-fans from iNcontroL aswell, if kelly started dating IdrA I'm convinced her fanbase would grow. Wish I would vote, gl Anna! | ||

Except kelly knows 10x more about the game than Anna... And has a shitload more to do with the community than 'Incontrol's girlfiend.' Pageants are disgusting, I can't condone this nonsense and can't stress how ridiculously unrelated to Starcraft this is. (which is what people are trying to make it out to be) | ||

Anna has done a lot for this community and even though this has nothing to do with Starcraft, it's always nice to be able to help someone out when she tries to do so much for us. | ||

Pageants are disgusting, I can't condone this nonsense and can't stress how ridiculously unrelated to Starcraft this is. (which is what people are trying to make it out to be) I think it does have something to do with starcraft. It shows that we are a community that can and will actively rally behind something or someone. It shows that we, unlike many other communities, will actively support those who support us. This makes the starcraft community very appealing to advertisers and companies for potential sponsorships. I, for one, feel this is a good thing. We have done things similar to this before. Remember back like 6 months ago when there was that poll for top video game villan of all time, and Kerriganwas down by a couple of thousand votes. Then Husky made a video calling our attention to the problem and we went on to crush our way to victory! Or when Day[9] was going for the shorty award on twitter. Well, he didn't actually win, but he came damn close against someone with a far larger fan base. I'm well aware that some cynic is going to quote me and say "so you sayin we know how to be lead like sheep, derp derp." But I think it shows that we can band together well and we look our for our own. And has she done anything for the community? I mean, what do you want? Do you have to commentate the GSL before you can say you are a contributer? Ms. America is one of the most uptight, rip at your opponent "Mean Girls" style contests in existence. She is a contestant, and she is willing to get up and publicly say she likes this game. Well, you got my vote. | ||

Anna is a girl and her thread stays open, Fudd (I presume) is not and his thread is closed. I'm not saying TL mods are right or wrong in their decision, but simply pointing out a trend in society. Take the below for example: + Show Spoiler + http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/4999258/A-spurned-pash-that-turned-to-bash Student Christine Te Rangimarie Makaore now lives in Palmerston North, but in 2008 she was in Alexandra, working in the hospitality industry. About 2am on November 16, 2008, Makaore returned from a night’s drinking to the backpackers hotel she was staying at. Rather than stagger to her own bed, she entered somebody else’s room and started kissing a man that she didn’t know. It’s not clear if the man was awake or not, or if she just jumped on top of him and started work. Another man staying in the same room fled to the backpackers’ lounge. As would be sensible if certain activities are happening in your room. Makaore disengaged her tongue and followed him, hurling abuse. She asked for a fight, but the man said no. Undeterred, Makaore punched him in the chest repeatedly for about a minute. The man curled up to try to protect himself and managed to get up and run off, but Makaore followed, still throwing punches. I’m not sure why she was so offended the room-mate left the room. At 9.30am the man went outside to get some food from his car. Unfortunately for him, Makaore followed him and started kicking him in the legs. She then grabbed his backpack, pulled out his iPod and threw it to the ground. She then threw the man’s cellphone against his car and hurled other items on to a nearby garage roof. The man under attack managed to scoop his iPod off the ground and take shelter in his car, locking Makaore out. That didn’t please her, so she smashed the car windscreen with her fist. The man drove off to safety but suffered from a sore wrist, a bruised head and grazes to his legs. Ouch. Having someone punch their way through your windscreen would be somewhat alarming. The judge noted Makaore’s lengthy list of driving offences, saying she was probably the North Island champion at notching up driving-while-disqualified convictions. He said it was unfair for Makaore to “use her width” and “throw her weight around” against people likely to have been smaller. On two assault charges, two of wilful damage and two sentence breach charges, Makaore was sentenced to 225 hours’ community work and six hours’ supervision. Okay, so imagine this now. Imagine Makaore was a man and the victims were women. If a man jumped on a sleeping woman and started kissing her, and then chased another woman, hitting her in the chest multiple times, then the next day saw her again, kicked her multile times, grabbed her gear and smashed it, and then smashed the windscreen of her car, well what sort of penalty do you think he would get? Is there anyway it would not be jail time? http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2011/05/if_she_was_a_man.html I disagree with you. Taking the other side of it, let's say iNcontroL was in a voting contest for something big, like the chance to represent the USA in the Olympic sport of bear-wrestling. You really think TL wouldn't support it and let a voting thread stay up? It has more to do with the importance of the competition and the importance of the individual to the community than their gender. Also, that story was hilarious, and yes there are many examples of double-standards for different genders. I just don't think this is one of them. | ||

Be it women's bodies in beauty pageants, or people's ability to play starcraft. The very goal of competition is to objectify things that we normally cannot. | ||
