I hate to break it to you guys but women are terrible at games and don't put in nearly as much time to get good at it, the reason for that is because they don't have to. They get sponsorship deals as long as they are pretty and reasonably good compared to other women (most of which don't take the game nearly as seriously as other male gamers). I realize that most of you will think im sexist. I am not. I'm simply pointing out the truth everyone knows, which is that female gamers do well in the scene as long as they are pretty and their skill is almost irrelevant. lol are you for real? | ||

but the problem is, theres way more guys playing the game so the chances that there will be better players are much higher. If every single female played sc2, and the guys playing remained the same, the top 3 would probably be female players | ||

I realize that most of you will think im sexist. I am not. I'm simply pointing out the truth everyone knows, which is that female gamers do well in the scene as long as they are pretty and their skill is almost irrelevant. Acctualy that comment IS sexist. Saying that girls aren't as likely to become good gamers because nearly no girls take it at all as seriously as quite a few boys do, is not sexist. Saying that a girl will never have a shot because women are terrible at games IS sexist because then you are overgeneralizing a lot. Women has nothing hindering them to become as good gamers as men, except possibly that they because of either how they've been raised or biology (what is biology and what is society in gender differences is still debated) aren't as likely to first get interested in games and then care about competition as seriously as males. If a girl does though, she has just as good chance as any male to compete. Edit: In case someone is wondering about the difference of the two examples of what is sexist and what is not: A: All women are terrible at Science. Thus: X who is a woman, is terrible at Science. B: Those who haven't invested a lot of time into learning a lot about science and/or aren't interested in science are terrible at science. Most women haven't invested a lot of time into learning a lot about science and/or aren't interested in science are terrible at science. Thus: X who is a women is terrible at Science. Both of these is ways you could arguee before women where likely to be doing science, A is sexist, B is everything but sexist. | ||
