Complaints about moderation and freedom of speech are for the website feedback forums. They will be treated as being off topic and dealt with appropriately. No more Iron Lady talk, no more gender debate. This is a thread about a StarCraft player. Last I checked what's in between your legs has no impact on how you play the game. I agree with some of the comments here that the moderation on this thread has been dreadful. It's way too soft. I have gone ahead and simply deleted a bunch of comments that fail TL's community standards. Yes, those standards are determined by the mods. Yes, those standards are not perfect nor even uniformly applied. But we try our best. Spare us your righteous indignation over any notional impairment of free speech. This is a private site. It's a club. There is no "right" to free speech here. We only tolerate quality speech. By who's standards? Ours. Go read the TL Ten Commandments. And if you don't like this policy or our way of running our house, leave. - mensrea | ||

But her gender is a girl. That means that referring to her as a 'guy' is ENORMOUSLY offensive. You might not think it like that, but it is. So if you have a grain of respect in your body, you would call her a she, per her request. | ||

Can we get off the topic? Scarlett is Scarlett, and that's all anyone needs to know and care about. | ||

I can't believe 20 of the pages are filled with irrelevant bashing just because of Scarlett's personal life. Can we get off the topic? Scarlett is Scarlett, and that's all anyone needs to know and care about. Yeah but is it really surprising? Its a complicated and unprecedented issue in the SC2 community. And I think most people dont mean to specifically single out Scarlett. They are talking about transgenered issues in general. So I dont judge the so called "trolls" to harshly. I have opinions too, but save them for another website/thread. Point is this is all pretty inspirational and I hope to see Scarlett do well in more tourneys with the help of the new team. | ||

Certainly, but it's also disingenuous to pretend that's not one of the reasons she is getting (positive) attention and has a fanbase | ||

Riiight yea definatly the ooonly one bro lol. Being from the same country has nothing to do with this opinion or anything lol. Try to be alittle more objective in the future please cause your statement is just pretty false. | ||

She is pretty unique. Hundreds of people are really good at SC2, so obviously those that stand out in one way or another will get more attention. I personally don't see a problem with it. | ||

I often wonder about how hard It must be to be a pro, with so much pressure on your every move and every result. Good luck. Your play at IPL4 seemed inspired. I can't wait to see it get better! | ||

NOT SARCASM Sigh. Males having "focused vision" and "better tracking of moving objects" are largely urban legends, popularized by a few pop-psi books without much scientific credence. As for aggression, I will just sit here and wait for you to be trodden on by any of the numerous goal-oriented women out there in the real world. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
