Interesting, I didn't know this was an issue loll. The only time I seen someone be remotely sexist is when they call another user a women but thats in a joking way so I don't really think its offensive

But yea, sexism should be kept off the forums

I guess the problems is that, in the internet, we're used to believe every person is a guy. So we either make sexists comments without think somewhere a girl is reading this, or just 'cause we aren't used to see how a girl reacts to X or Y random comment.

In my experience, I've never seen/talked to a girl on this site, so I might have done sexist comments already without realising it migh be offensive. And also because of that, I would get very salty about a ban/moderation since I normally talk to others in an offensive way.

Loll, I talked to two girls on this site, one was Lumikki (idk if thats how u spell her username) and shes great, specially with all the yuri posts on her wall although I dont think shes active anymore, the there was this other one who tried to turn vgc into a dating site lolll. But apart from that, I didn't really talk to any other girls around here. But maybe thats what vgc needs, more chicks!

On the other hand, the thread that kljesta64 linked too above contains material that could be considered sexist, and was noted as such by some posters. Others would view it as innocuous banter.

could be but it isnt.. its just a way of expression. It wouldnt even been taken seriously by some posters if it werent for that other thread. my point is that this is happening all the time and no one cares until something major happens and all of a sudden everyone is smart and wise and starts to report people all over the forum. some people on vgc are not worth it to be taken seriously by mods.. and yes it was just a joke no harm intended.

And it is for all of those reasons that I did not moderate the comment when you linked me too it.

I don't want to start banning people for every comment that could conceivably be considered sexism. That said, anyone that thinks this site (not you) hasn't historically created a hostile environment for women and feminists generally is likely being naive.

is this because that thread asking where are the girls on VGchartz?

Maybe. I think it's a combination of that, and the Zoe Quinn scandal. I'm reading through them right now.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I do not understand why you banned my new account. I had not broken any rules as I had only made 3 posts. This is really unfair and I would really appreciate it if you could unban my original account.

IF you would like to continue this discussion, do it via PM.

As for your alternate account, I left the reason in the ban attached to it. If you continue to post or create new accounts, your original account's ban (which is temporary and only for 10 days) will be extended:

"You were banned for a specific reason for a limited period of time. The only permitted reason to make an alternate ID is to directly communicate with mods, not to post in threads your disagreement with a ban! If you wish to write to mods, do so. Do not post."

Can anyone explain to me which threads/posts prompted this response?

I don't read every post of every thread, but I haven't really come across anything on this site both recently and in the past that I would say is sexist. At least I can not come up with any specific examples.

The male users on VGChartz have had little or no interaction with human females. We live in a world where technology rules over people's lives. Social interactions of both males and females will continue to decline over time as people become more dependent upon technology.

Oh c'mon, interactions between males and females has always been... shit.

We masturbate more and rape has declined. That's progress.
