Females in the gaming industry tackle sexism

I'm sorry, Prophet, but before I reply to that, please write the bolded part;

in english. Normally your posts are at least decipherable, but I can't make heads or tails of the bolded part.

I have to apologise, but I'm not going to explain English words not so frequently used by yourself.

Edit: To respond to your second part; do you think it is unnecessary to discuss this with other gamers? Do you think the issue is limited to the people developing the games and not the people playing them?

That is indeed strange. How can nothing weigh more than the ripple effect?

 

[Graal]

I've made you a tutorial on how NOT to be an idiot who spams threads with useless junk that contributes nothing to the discussion at hand:

Hope this helps.

Or maybe you should hire an english tutor so you can learn to string more than a few words together in such a manner that they actually make sense?

If you're unhappy with how the government does something, do you only write a private letter to Zuma or do you garner public awareness on the issue?

Wow Graal. Lotsa sand in that mangina of yours hey?

No, just tired of having people like you having lots to say whenever other people are having a discussion, but nothing to contribute. If you don't like what's being discussed, move on. Last I checked James wasn't banning people for not taking part in certain discussions.

Also, lol at making a sexist jibe in a thread about sexism. Great job.

Which will be of no use if you don't want to grow your understanding of words infrequently used by yourself or read and think. You didn't know what immutable meant and were too lazy to bother looking it up and demanded the spoon for clarification. Hence snippy remarks to my use thereof.

Let me be simple:

Is it only the government being sexist?

If it is only them than yes, fix the entity.

However you fail to see that this is also an issue which can be influenced through the ripple effect. Thus far you have done nothing compared to someone who actively tries being a better person. All persons who came in contact with that person also are effected. Enough of this will rub off and cause actual change VS flabbering only of the mouth online.

I'd wager the same for the article writer and mygaming. Who have they contacted? What have they done?

Or was this only for sensationalism as per usual when usual suspects are involved?

Comparing a man to a woman's vagina as an insult is totally not at all sexist.

Graal, I suggest adding Prophet to your ignore list. It makes forum discussions so much neater.

How is me referring to the sand in your mangina sexist at all. Last time I checked we're both guys?

Seriously man, there's much more important stuff to get worked up than this. Molehill, mountain.

Stop and consider what "mangina" means.

You're insulting him by comparing him, basically, to a woman. It's not exactly subtle, and the implication is - that by calling him a "woman" - his opinions on the matter are not worth anything, and disregarded. By logical extension, woman's opinions aren't worth anything, and to be disregarded.

That is sexism, unambiguously. I wish people would actually THINK about the stuff they say.

It's also a word (along with the equally absurd and offensive "white knight") used consistently to denigrate men who stand up for women's rights and social equality, as though there were something bad about that.

Casual sexism is still sexism, and it's arguably the more insidious.

I can assure you my English vocabulary is rather impeccable. It is only when confronted with poor sentence construction such as yours that I have trouble understanding what you are trying to say. I understood the individual words in your post perfectly, it's when you (attempted to) put them together in a sentence that it makes no sense.

However you fail to see that this is also an issue which can be influenced through the ripple effect. Thus far you have done nothing compared to someone who actively tries being a better person.

Sensationalism? Seriously, Prophet? You are aware that the article was a response to last night's #1reasonwhy Twitter movement, in which various females in the gaming industry tweeted about sexism in the industry.

I think Azi's advice is solid. Ignore list it is.

See, and there's the issue. You not only downplay the issue of sexism in the gaming industry, but you're not even aware when you're being sexist, or why.

Actually what I'm implying is that he's has some deeper irritation that's aggravating his ability to calmly discuss a topic without getting too emotionally involved in it.

I mean I have quite a bucketload of sand in my own mangina, but I tend to keep it in check. I just don't make mine as transparent as he's making his out to be. So by that rationale, I don't see how my supposed "~ism" is applicable at all if I'm applying it to myself as well.

Interpretation is unfortunately, just that.

Sure dude, whatever you say. Your word is after all, absolute. My apologies if I offended you ever so slightly, you would know if it was intended.

THIS. I honestly believe that a lot of people make sexist assumptions and comments without even realising it. That's why things like #1reasonwhy can and do accomplish something - simply by promoting increased awareness. A lot of the responses I saw on Twitter yesterday were from men who admitted that they'd unknowingly been part of the problem. That's a big deal.

Actually what I'm implying is that he's has some deeper irritation that's aggravating his ability to calmly discuss a topic without getting too emotionally involved in it.

Implying that women are irrational. Sexism - you're still doing it. It's exactly the same as "joking" about women having PMS when they're angry about something. The point is to undermine and discard legitimate arguments and grievances by implying that they're "emotional".

Okay, explain then why when talking to a male do you feel the need to combine 'man' and 'vagina?' Why not 'man' and 'penis,' or 'man' and 'anus.' Why vagina?

Why use a part of the female anatomy to insult a male?

 

[Necuno]

The irony...

Have I used loosely the words rape or vagina? Yet I'm the one being ignored for having an unpopular view.

Seems it would have been better to just word woman badly when using mygaming instead of speaking my mind. At least then you are not ignored.

Sadly point proven it seems about the article.

Oh dear. Have I made any reference to females at all? If anything I should be scolded for "attacking" an individual.

Would it be better if I said that he has a lot of sand up his anus? Or in his eyes? Or how about his femur? How does the part of anatomy (real or fictional) alter the point I'm making? Yeah, it doesn't.

He is acting like an emotional individual with a clear lack in ability to interact in a rational manner. I don't see how the fuck this relates to women or any specific woman at all. Unless of course you start assuming that everyone else shares that train of thought. Which is equally as retarded as type of sexism, subtle or not.

 

[qornea]

Inb4 male gamers once again telling females how they should feel about sexism in the gaming industry.

Nailed it, imo.

What part of "mangina" and its unambiguous implications do you not understand? This is exactly how casual sexism like this persists. You don't even realise how sexist the word "mangina" is.

It would not imply that Graal's attitude is somehow feminine (and, therefore, bad). So yeah, it would be.

Mangina.

Man + vagina.

Disparaging comparison with women on the basis of (allegedly) irrational arguing.

Implying women are irrational.

This isn't rocket science, it's simple semantics.

Until we get the same venom and oomph surrounding the whole range of ism out there, I'll not comment at the ridiculousness of the comments of this thread ......

Funny how its always the same people

 

[Graal]

snip

Mangina implies that I am a man with female genitalia. Who would've thought! You want to tell me I'm over-emotional by calling me a man with female genitalia, and then claim there's no sexist connotations to it? I mean, really?

Funny how its always the same people

No offence intended, but it's funny how it's always the people who have nothing of worth to contribute to a discussion who want to make rubbish posts like yours.
