It's all part of my master plan to turn every user gay (well the cute ones at least).

I am married.

We'll settle for Sean Connery then.

The pervasive sexist culture of gaming in general actively discourages and punishes female participation.

This. Everyone; read this. I'm actually kinda sick and tired of gaming culture since it's sexistic as fuck, both among gamers and developers. You've seen Samus Arans latest outfit in SMash right? That's what's wrong with the gaming industry as a whole. It's abigger issue than the AAA industry



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

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.

I almost forgot that it happened.. it spawned this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=159056

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.

Actually, I was invited to VGirlz as well.

Is this really something that you should be admitting?

I...don't know actually.

Turn the safe search off... :P Maybe...Like many have mentioned, sexism is too high on the interwebs sometime.

I mean long side this thread there is another about Samus (a strong female role model) in not much at all (as a selling point).



Hmm, pie.

Samus' "new" outfits first appeared in Zero Mission and Fusion, so I don't see the problem here! :S
