amp316 said: Long story short. It was all because of a joke that Galaki made about PMS when a female (I think that it was Marucha) typed PMs in a thread title. It wasn't an offensive joke at all but she flew off of the handle, told off all of the mods because nothing was done, took off with some of her female friends, and created her own site called VGirlz which ironically doesn't allow men (not that that's sexist or anything). So basically it's all Galaki's fault. |
Not exactly how that went. She asked for sexist jokes to stop as it isnt funny to the her or others. The PMs joke is hardly the only exmple of sexist jokes on this forum. I could easily find other examples which never gets moderated even though as Marucha pointed out, is against the rules.
Beyond that there was males on the site that was invited including me, BananaKing, nintendoPie as well as others. The site was locked down as she wanted to work out all the kinks before opening it up to the public
And its kind of hard to tell somebody what they should and shouldnt be offended by since you arent that person. And seeing how she wasnt the only person who disagreed with the mods id hardly say she is wrong for how she felt

But the problem was that she couldn't come up with any other examples when asked. I remember that thread well actually.
Now I'm not saying that sexism hasn't, doesn't, or won't ever happen again here, but she wasn't giving any more examples to help her case.
And please... there was nothing offensive about that joke. And if she was offended by that then she probably gets offended by things like the color red.
