Well..

Nowadays it is not so odd that girls play... and personally I  _really_ don't want that guys act/play differently with me.. It is more like, annoying  

[Amtie]

More girls need to play Tremulous. That way if humans get wiped out and have no spawns, they can still repopulate a builder.

ROFL~

A nice addition to trem would be a female human player model tho i think.

I agree, and why do all the humans look 40 years old or something like that? Make em vary a bit, in race and sex etc.

Sorry, but most avid internet gamers (guys) have never seen women in real life, so it is only natural to become intrigued when one is present .

[PIE]

... a large large portion of guys will pretend to be girls online so that people will act differently for them.. seriously.. hitting on a girl in game is not going to make her want you unless she has some bad self esteem issues. Get some control :evil: . The ones that start posting their boobs for attention or whatever you should feel bad for because they are obviously bigger loosers than the guys who oogle them.

[jaywor]

Tremulous is a GAME not a dating service. Just play it.  

[Mario]

wtf

[Henners]

Aiyeeee more thread necromancy! Can we not start getting some rules about this?

[Mwa]

I quite like the fact that the thread was necroed. It means I can post my funny awnser without necroing myself.

believe me :p

he can actually do both

And does, quite often.

[PIE]

Aiyeeee more thread necromancy! Can we not start getting some rules about this?

... but obviously you don't object.

I like undead threads myself.. its a lot better than someone starting this thread all over again and someone saying "do a search".

[Henners]

I wouldnt mind if the necromancer actually had something to add. But recently all of these resurrections have been with utter drivel based posts

[Nux]

Yes Lava, my butt touches my poo few times a week, therefore my poo do exist.

Is poo poo only after it has come out? When is poo poo? Is food poo after you have eaten it? What if you eat poo? When can one define something as poo? Interesting.. I shall consult my philosophy and biology teachers..

That's enough poo from you.  

I get the impression this is less of a philosophical or socio-statistical endeavor.. and more of a "*giggle* I'm shooting the avatar of a real live girl!! *giggle* =D"... Trust me. Flirting does not mix well with armed-combat.

@mods
please lock this sexist thread

@mods
please lock this sexist thread

Can you really call the thread sexist? The initial question was 'are you a girl who plays tremulous?' which could provide evidence toward a more blurry 'gender-line' than generally accepted.

Can you say it's sexist to find out the facts? It's the opinions, prejudices and discriminations that we might find sexist. Say for example, the reason he gave for his asking:

i would like to know if im playing w/ or against a girl so i dont accidently diss them or make them uncomfortable in anyway! plz u should let us guys know so we dont treat u wrong.

But even that is no more sexist than a man carrying heavy bags for a beautiful woman. Or leaving his seat so that she might rest there.

But on the whole, I think it's the opinions that are expressed in reply to the thread that you find sexist. Not the existance of the thread itself. Is it a better idea to shy away from those opions and pretend they don't exist?

It's a general discussion thread. It's about tremulous to an extent. So why lock it?

Mr. Arguementy signing off

[vcxzet]

"are you a girl who plays tremulous?" it is not obvious but it is sexist. Imho it doesnt matter who plays tremulous. It states it is strange to see girls playing video games. It is the same as the racist version below:
Are you a black man who plays Tremulous?
------
Btw read the post not just the topic

[Nux]

Eh?

I'm pretty sure more males do play it than females. Sexism and Racism are both about prejudice.

It would be sexist if you were to say "Girls shouldn't play tremulous" or "If you're a girl, you must be rubbish at playing tremulous".

[Undeference]

Are you a black man who plays Tremulous?

Actually, that would be racist because it would be implying that a "black man" inherently acts differently from anyone else. However, it is physiological fact that men and women are different. Accepting that is sexist (just as the distinction between "man" and "woman"), and denying it is stupid.

[Paradox]

God, this thread is almost a complete flame war. Please retrun to the original topic.

Are you a girl who plays Tremulous?

so what is the difference?

[Dj_Pong]

:-? omg, who cares? If you want a GF turn off your computer and go to a bar or something...

Ill say it again.

(0o).. Actually I don't really see anyone getting flammed.. I think basically its been established that there is 1 girl playing tremulous and almost everyone wants to molest her because they don't realize girls exist outside of games, and then some people think any time you bring up girls its sexist.. so the topic has evolved since its been completed.. its not a flame war imho...

I also don't think its nice that your telling god what to do.. he didn't turn this into a distracted off-topic thread.. the people posting did! :p

[Undeference]

.... corrected

Are you an X1 who plays Tremulous?

Actually, that would be xxx-ist because it would be implying that X1 inherently acts differently from Y1. However, it is xxx fact that X2 and Y2 are different.

so what is the difference?

(Nice rephrasing.) How can I explain the differences of differences clearly? Delta-delta.
Do I really need to explain the differences between men and women?
Do I really need to explain the differences between one complexion and another? It is similar to asking how many attractive or ugly people play Tremulous. Those are both subjective and irrelevant.

If, however, it were found that 999 out of 1000 Tremulous players were white, that might be concerning. In that case, it would be useful to know how many black people play.
From a purely statistical standpoint, it is known that more males play computer games than females. If Tremulous's statistics do not correlate with those of other computer games, what is Tremulous doing right or wrong?

Other than that, it shouldn't matter. (But it is psychological fact that people act differently with different groups of peers. If they consider a member of a different race differently from a member of their own race, that is probably the result of racism.)

[LAMAK]

I don't really care if gurlz play this.It doesn't effect me. :roll:

[Paradox]

Axel and wullah are girls. Flossbaby (Lucky) is a girl

[Lava Croft]

Axel and wullah are girls. Flossbaby (Lucky) is a girl

Let them all send their portraits to Faces of Tremulous!

That is, via my email or via #satgnu on Qnet IRC.

(But it is psychological fact that people act differently with different groups of peers. If they consider a member of a different race differently from a member of their own race, that is probably the result of racism.)

so you are saying that ppl act differently with different groups of peers, but if they happen to do that to someone who is another race than that is racism.

imo its not the result of racism but the cause.
