So the most interesting thing about Empire showdown - Page 2

My impression of Adrianne Curry is that her goal in life is to be viewed as a sex goddess or something by nerd.

Probably her goal is to make money and she thinks this image is her best way to get it.

I'm not advocating objectiving oneself. But some people do that, and it's not illegal. If someone is offering compensation for such a thing and you are okay with that then what's the big deal though?

Also, if I'm the assclown that MaxDamage is referring to, I was being sarcastic. I don't really care about rights when they are being equated to gender. Perhaps I'm just not knowledgeable on the full scope of the subject. I just think we are all human, why does the discussion of rights have to come down to whether you are male or female?

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.
We aren't here to babysit or pander.

*MANSTAMP*

I'm a man, and I give this manstamp, my manstamp of approval.

I'd just like to point out that the protesters in this video are a FANTASTIC example of how Canadians really are. It's a myth that we're polite, laid back, and welcoming. 100% complete bullshit myth.

Christ guys stop being so fucking apologist.

It's the woman's job. Men like hot women. That woman makes a living off selling her appearance. It's the WOMAN'S decision to objectify herself. Good for her.

I'm confused, you guys have a problem with a woman who was paid to be eye candy, being exactly that?

Rothnang · 2013-01-27, 03:42 PM

I have no problem with her wanting to be a sex symbol, she can do that if she wants to. I have no problem with people flirting with her or commenting on her body either if she enjoys that.

What I didn't like is that SOE hired her to do all that at an event as if that is a natural part of the culture of Planetside 2. Like it's somehow gone from "Combat on an epic scale" to "Combat on an epic scale, and tits".

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.

What's all this idiotic talk about women being "accepted" in the gaming community. If a woman buys a game and plays it she's part of the gaming community. If some guy thinks that gives him cause to be an ass to her then that's just him being a pitiful douchebag.

Nobody gets to arbitrate who is or isn't welcome in the gaming community, people only get to decide whether or not they want to make an ass of themselves.

It's the culture of any entertainment industry.

Eye candy is eye candy.

Do you have a problem with the new PETA commercials too?

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

This seems relevant to this discussion:

I've watched this on twitch over and over and I can't find the tits part. I need a link.
Can you see the man announcers tits as well? I'll bet his are nice.

If she is the best that they could manage, they should just give up on having women sex objects in the first place.
