Garena esports discriminating ?

For a moment I thought they were. But I did some more research and found that they are based in Indonesia.

Pitchforks away. They realised they done messed up so have withdrawn the crazy rule. Just remember not all countries/ religions have the same open mindness on these issues as a lot of us forum users.

I'll never understand why PR always spouts complete BS. They know everyone knows they're lying, right?

Same here

I think my favourite sentence is this one:

That's...i mean...what the hell? Where does one sign up to become a "member of the lesbian, gay, transgendered women"? What's the difference between a lesbian and a gay woman?

But seriously, I'm sure that organistation just dug their own graves with this, regardless of their eventual retraction.

Don'tcha know?
You have to sign up when you're a kid to be allowed into queerness.

And it's not even free. =c

Dangit! Looks like it's too late. I guess I'll never be a professional league player now

To be honest, neither do I, I tried
Dota once.

They probably weren't lying though, which is the part that's hard for all of us to understand. If you start out with the assumptions that;

1. masculine players are better at video games, and
2. gay and transgendered women are more masculine

then I guess I can sort of see how a person from a culture with different values from our own would come up with these rules. This is becoming a good case study in why cultural moral relativism is wrong.

I so would like to know on what basis they came to that conclusion. One could argue that there for some magical reason are pretty much only male top players, but I doubt that is actually related to the skill potential, more to the fact that maybe woman are just too intelligent to engage in stupid competitions. xD

Top two in Halo 4 finals, not exactly the most masculine of guys.

I never said their assumptions were right.

I don't think you said that and I don't think they are right, but I wonder about the line of reasoning that makes them think that males might be better at pushing buttons on a keyboard.

When will people just stop caring about who sticks what in where?


"Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered Women members may probably have some unfair advantage."!?
This isn't even sexism or homophobia, it's just psychotic rambling.

Or who doesn't stick what in where. Some people are Asexual.

Well there has never been more than just a few top players that are biologically female in the history of gaming.

That doesn't say why that is. Maybe it is just such a unfriendly community to woman that they do not play.

Did you know that there are professional female teams and players? Did you know that those teams and players are below the level of their male counterparts? Do you think those professional female teams and players are worse because they do not play?

Did you know a lot of male professional players exist who are below the top male professional players? Do you think they are worse because they do not play?
If you look at how many male players are there and how few of them are noticeable as "top players" and you apply the same % on the few female players that are there you end up with practically no professional female players on the very top.
I don't know exact numbers, but I am certain that female players, especially ones who strive to be the very best, are very very rare compared with male players who do so.

Also so few top soccer players from USA, they must be genetically bad at it...oh wait they play much less than in other countries just as girls with videogames
