You're trying to imply that I said things that, in fact, I didn't.
Which is par for the course for those of you arguing in favor of keeping women out.
1. You've ignored history when it wasn't convenient. When people found examples that were directly relevant, you've ignored them.
2. You've distorted what we've said and claimed that we're either gay, sexual deviants, or at least terrible feminist liberals out to "revise history".
3. You've erected all sorts of straw-man arguments, claiming everything from making this right being a blow against an "oppressed" population of male gamers to the need to "protect historical accuracy" to "supporting female players is bad for sales" to "real fans wouldn't care about this". That we've shot all of these arguments down, with none of the cursing and insults that we've received, is telling.
4. When none of the above worked, every one of you has resorted to using foul language and trying to shout us down.
5. When it's been pointed out that the posters in the thread are at least 2:1 for including females, that gets ignored, too.
6. When it's been pointed out that it would hurt nobody at all, that gets ignored.
In short, you're trying to imply stuff that hasn't happened, as part of arguments that are unsupported and spurious, to build a straw-man case... again.
I'm not exactly a feminist radical, people. I believe in freedom and fun, preferably for the maximum number of gamers, and I think that female players are a very important audience, from a business perspective.
I've participated in this debate because I know that a lot of women are very reluctant to defend themselves on "male turf" because of the horrible, crude things that get said to them. I've put up with being told to suck dicks and balls, being told that I'm not properly functional sexually, and have been cursed at repeatedly, because I have a pretty thick skin and I'd rather take it like a real man than watch you do it to a woman.
