I agree with you 100% but .. well.. its easy to tell them, but it this is the internet.. i can't check if anyone listens to the advice we give..  I'm pretty open and outgoing in real life, so it was pretty strange to me..  but i do see students (I part-time teach) who have those problems.. even then it's its hard to try to open them up, let alone internet strangers who we met here on this site.. thats the part those users will have to find out for themselfs..

Dont be ridiculous. Are you trying to make a list of approved outfits she's allowed to design? We've seen numerous instances of them pulling outfits from old games, and they do the exact thing here and it's a problem because women in games are only allowed to dress like nuns.

Instead of focusing on the fact that this Smash Bros has so many female characters it could make a separate game, which is great, you're gonna focus on non-issues like an outfit looking like exercise clothes on one character designed by a woman that has canonically existed for years.

XD yes, it's not an easy thing to do but it will only get harder as they grow old, seclusion will become more hard to leave behind and making new friendships becomes more and more difficult as we get older. Also as adults we have less patience to help people learn the boundaries and apropriate way to behave in adult friendships that they didnt learn growing up.

Can you link to the site? 

You guys are making me seriously depressed -.- haha

sorry -_-'

I'd always assumed there were female users on this site, however, I don't care, because I don't come here to socialize with any specific gender. I come here to talk games/devs/state of the industry and other such news, which are all basically gender neutral subjects.

Hate to say it, but the video game industry isn't terribly welcoming for females in general. It's difficult to willingly insert yourself into an environment where you are the minority, and the majority makes it abundantly clear that it doesn't particularly care for your input (Not just gaming, and not just for women either). It's like putting a sign on your clubhouse that says "BOYS PREFERRED, BUT GIRLS PERMITTED IF THEY DON'T COMPLAIN". It's not an exclusive club, but it does more to deter them than entice them. If you want women to participate, you would have to actively encourage them to and help reverse the mindset that they shouldn't. It's not enough to leave the doors open for all and ignore all the previous bad blood that been incurred over the years. Again, that isn't just applicable for women and video games, either.

Also, some of the members' signatures and avatars don't... really help much. Seeing scantily clad women and bouncing boobs while trying to scroll through the boards isn't exactly appealing to most ladies, surprisingly enough! I've gotten used to it, having been following the industry for awhile, but ya gotta admit, most males would be none to keen on joining a board where the majority was women and several members per thread have a signature with homoerotic pictures of shirtless men.... hmm.... I might be giving myself ideas.

That's never gonna change. And honestly. If I did run into a fourm like that. And wanted to Join, I wouldn't care about those photos. I've seen photos like that here away. My own signature is close to that. I'd only get pissed off if like when those spamers posted those penis porn photos. You could block said photos with the signature disabler. Or any browser addons, if they personally annoy you. There are some Gifs that take way too long to load. So I block them.

i should look in my mail box and see if i still got the very first mail from a girl i wanted to have sex with
