Lu Xun Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Have you ever considered that having porny-websites drives female users away, #1, and #2, that this game might be intended to be family friendly in order to expand the total market? Having mom shoo-away 14-year old Claire Bennett is not good for the total player population, although given game culture she may not stay anyways. .

Shylock Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I am a Dioist. Hath not a Dioist eyes? Hath not a Dioist hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Pig Disgusting Swede is? If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Dioist wrong a Pig Disgusting Swede, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Pig Disgusting Swede wrongs a Dioist, what should his sufferance be by Pig Disgusting Swede example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Xun Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Who are you, Anita Sarkeesian? No, just someone with basic business sense, no? If you guys really want a sausagefest with people swarming over female impersonators, be my guest. But if you want a community that is mixed company, act like you have mixed company; why yes, there are girls on the internet, you've just driven them all away. .

But if you want a community that is mixed company, act like you have mixed company; why yes, there are girls on the internet, you've just driven them all away. If a few scantily clad female cartoon characters is enough to drive these women away then perhaps they shouldn't be on the internet to begin with. Or maybe, just maybe, if the thread content doesn't interest them they could, I don't know, not view it? But that would be too simple a solution and instead they would have to cry out about those evil men right?

Lu Xun Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 @Wilhelm II: I don't understand why you've photoshopped NPKJI's head onto your own body. @Jaime Lannister: Amusingly enough, women make up around 50% of internet users and now make up 48% of gamers, as of 2013. However, how often do you see women around your neck of the woods? It's an informal polling, but I would say less than 10% of the population here is female, when women as a whole comprise 50% of the gaming market. So why is that? I've seen more female hostile communities out there, but you're tending towards that direction. Think about it with the shoe on the other foot. How would you feel if your community aggressively posted Yaoi or other male homosexual and female-oriented pictures on your website? Imagine if I had a pretty boy kissing a bear-type homosexual in my signature. Would you feel comfortable or uncomfortable with this type of signature around? Or how about a thread dedicated only to softcore gay porn? This is why I've posted Bruce Jenner, an impending MtF transsexual on the boards. If this is the main type of woman you want around your part of the Internet, so be it. Most of you have your own forums and own community websites. If you seriously want to swap pornography, I'm all for it, I don't keep my own porn folder, but there are websites I go to. Just do so in your own private spaces, instead of on the public forums at large. 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Xun Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Check PMs for extended views, and yeah, I've met real women on certain websites that would be far more offensive (worse than 4chan) than this website, but that's a hardcore Internet user's view. Casuals are more easily offended, but a totally hardcore community would be by nature a small one. If you want to tap the casual market, PG or PG-13 makes sense. .

Just do so in your own private spaces, instead of on the public forums at large. All I can say after reading this is that you must think women very thin skinned. Or that the slightest hint of a sexualized picture or comment will somehow offend and "drive them off". I'm sorry but I don't see the need to censor myself that way and I don't see half the human race acting that way either. And I would not mind at all yaoi material as long as it was in an area marked as such. A diffference between "aggressively placed" after all. I am not about to scream sexism or oppression, one can after all have fun and not be hostile to individual users. I seriously doubt female users are these exotic animals you think they are anyway, the "a girl on the internet!" trope became old years ago.

Nothing in that previous thread was anything beyond PG-13 you know, you seem to have a very liberal definition of pornography.

I am not about to scream sexism or oppression, one can after all have fun and not be hostile to individual users. I seriously doubt female users are these exotic animals you think they are anyway, the "a girl on the internet!" trope became old years ago. Women are not unheard of in these communities, but they are few. Count the first 100 members in the community, and note how many of them are female, or claiming to be female. They comprise a distinct minority. Regarding thin-skinned, actually, I've met MORE than my share of thin-skinned women who can't take any abuse or any criticism at all (!@#$y women are a thing, if you actually spent a lot of time dealing with women, although I'd imagine there are an equal number of male !@#$). The ones that aren't, I notice they take porn threads and other things in that category as a matter of tolerance. Simply because they're not screaming at you to shut them down doesn't mean that they're not treating such things as unnecessary annoyances, if a website were trying to increase the number of female users they would deliberately cut down on this kind of stuff; it may please the men to have such things around but men suffer less from having to move "wimmenz!" threads to alliance forums than women do from having threads that would make them unwelcome. As I've previously said to Luka, the problem is not hardcore users, who are happy being on Ogrish or places where amputated and realistic-looking limbs spin around the browser window or are happy looking at boxes of transsexuals being cooked and eaten (and let's be honest, would these things offend you if they were on your forums, legality aside? I'm fine with looking the other way at these things, but how about you?) the problem is that things that are significantly less severe than these examples can offend casual users, who can decide that this is a good reason to find something else to do. And lastly, about the Yaoi, are you asking for a forum section, specifically a forum section for yaoi, cute men, and gay porn? If not, would you feel annoyed if you were on a board section and every day or so someone updates the Yaoi thread and pushes it up to the top, and you have to avoid clicking on it because you don't want to see two effeminate men with roses clutching each other in a, well, the adjective is superfluous, homoerotic embrace? Nothing in that previous thread was anything beyond PG-13 you know, you seem to have a very liberal definition of pornography. You've been watching too much anime; the Japanese have a relaxed attitude towards nudity and sexuality, it's part of their social model. I was told Fox Fire had an animated gif of a girl licking some type of snack food off the face of another girl? I think that would not obtain a PG-13 rating in theaters around where I live. .
