So the most interesting thing about Empire showdown

The woman in purple looking fit.

I'm watching the stream and half of the audio keeps cutting out and half of the stream is adverts so I have to flick through half an hour's worth of stuff just to see people soloing.

Waaaaaaaaat.. she is extremely unattractive.

Then again, she is standing behind Our Glorious Leader:

I was a little weirded out by her, since they constantly talked about her like she was going to start giving blowjobs under the table any second and she seemed to revel in the objectification. Whatever floats your boat I guess, but this is sort of exactly the kind of thing that makes the eSports aspect not very appealing to me. I'd much rather be known as a mature community that welcomes women as equals, not as eye candy.

Mature communities recognise that men and women are different.
Equality has nothing to do with sexuality in this instance as women like to be looked at, dress themselves up and often socially are more flirtatious in that respect - that is part of their sexes majority gender identity and has FUCK ALL to do with sexist men or "oppression".

It's not universal, and a lotta girls don't necessarily want the attention. But it's their job to handle it, not the guys.

Girls wanted nothing to do with gaming conventions, content to call the guys that went to them nerds and losers ..until there was money involved.. now they want a piece.

Guys built this world, we're not holding women back, if anything we've been extremely accomodating - but they want to be treated "with respect" and "as equals" simply by showing up, well sweetie, in a mans world these things are EARNED.

We hand girls a lot of things on a plate, but if you want to be equals in a masculine environment, that means doing away with pussy-pass preferential treatment you get everywhere else.

Far from excluding women, we want MORE in gaming. But if you expect US to change for YOU when you're entering OUR world, you have to realise how ridiculously cheeky that is.

That's the deal, it's not about asking girls to compromise themselves at all; it's about us not compromising for them. Boys will be boys, men will be men. If you can't take jokey flirting or NORMAL sexual behaviour from people in their teens through to adulthood; you're not only not ready for male dominated scenes - you're not ready for life.

You are responsible for yourself, your own feelings.

Holy shit. I was pretty sure after the post a little while ago, but now i'm 100% sure. A real life MRA* in the wild! Congrats on being a shitbag.

*For those who don't know, that's "Men's Rights Activist", go look it up.

100% this.

Uhhh.... yeaaa... What exactly does your entitled manchild outrage have to do with the fact that I just don't like having my hobby be turned into a peepshow?

What does E-Sports have to do with your hobby being turned into a peepshow?

E-Sports is the reason why women are slowly becoming more accepted in the game community.

Besides, this event wasn't an "E-sport event", it was a PR stunt. In E-Sports, the winner of the competition isn't determined by popularity votes.

Yeah, we don't need women. They do nothing to increase the population, nurture it to be prosperous, and even in help it progress, the same way in which men do (and in some cases better). Oh wait....

Men are objectified in some cases as well. Not as much as women perhaps, but it does happen.

In a man's world those things are earned... by being born with a penis.

Indeed, it's sad when people can't accept what gender is truly superior...

As for the eye candy commentator, I was wondering just who the hell that woman was...

I thought maybe she was a Dev I hadn't seen before, shame it sounds like she ended up being hired just for her nice tits...

I'd rather not participate and this level of epic stupidity.

Oh god, please stop, my sides are splitting with laughter!

Max is either king of the trolls, or we should put together a donation fund for him to get some therapy for his abusive upbringing/repressed homosexuality issues. He really needs our help you guys.
