For those who don't know, I'm DS The Drunk Heavy and I put videos on YouTube. After playing with several lady dusters, most of which do really well, I decided I'd like to show some love to them. I would like to get rid of the "she's a girl so she must suck" stigma. My idea is to have a "Ladies Night" series showcasing some of the female Dust community.
If you're interested, let me know! You can message me or drop a line here!

To propose an event that excludes others based on their sex, in this case males, is the definition of sexist . That's what you did so that;s what you are. Consider this..: Would you post your initial post but replace the word girl with black. Here I'll do it for you.. Quote:For those who don't know, I'm DS The Drunk Heavy and I put videos on YouTube.

If you're interested, let me know! You can message me or drop a line here! Would you DARE post that? no. Why? Because it's racist as all cluck. But since you are taking about girls, it's all fine. It's not you Sexist bigot.
IMO, your comparison is completely unrelated. Female gamers have a stigma that follows them, whether you're one who promotes the stigma or not. To a lot of male players, girls are inferior based on gender alone. This series would highlight the skills and show the community that gender does in fact not matter one bit.
Calling me a sexist for trying to get rid of the problem is like calling a gay rights activist a homophobe. |

Haha, nah man. I'm alright in that department. I am super white though. I can definitely see why you'd assume that though and I expected it. No worries. |

I can definitely see why you'd assume that though and I expected it. No worries. But Judge Rhadamanthus is correct, in that by asserting that female gamers who are good at this game need to be spotlighted simply because they are female and good at this game, you are indeed being sexist even though that is not your intention. I'm sure there are plenty of girls who are awesome at this game, but prefer not to disclose their gender simply because of the hassle that comes along with being a girl in a sea of socially awkward, hormone-fueled young guys. You should only judge other gamers by their skills at the game, their gender is irrelevant.
That's exactly what I'm trying to fix. I'm sure there are many lady gamers that don't use comms because they don't want the perves to start their BS. I see how the idea can be construed as me being sexist, but that's not the case at all. I think it would be fun and eye opening for many to see how beastly some ladies are at the game. If I can change a few minds about lady dusters, the series has served its purpose. There will be naysayers, but that's expected. |
