depends on their looks imo
no difference, except the nicer voices
Why shouldn't they be allowed to have the same hobby as we have? I only played some mixed games with anna, and I've to admit that she's better than me. :-<
jello aim!
Parent
and cuter oFc :]
Parent
Nvm, I'm trying to teach you as best I can!
Parent
need your opinion as well!
Parent
girls should just stay away from the internetz
Parent
away from nasty boys like me!
Parent
they have no e-penis so they dont belong

(apart from kitty, she doesnt need an e-penis)
why do u make a difference between boys and girls in gaming? o_O
They just play it because they like it, just like we do D:

auroraangel is still the bestest
Parent
schnee ownzzz
Parent
no opinion, they do what they want,
My opinion is that men/boys like evantej shouldn't be involved in gaming and most definitely not competitive gaming. My experience is that they turn up on customer lists of cheat coders.
tell us more about this!!!

:]
Parent
<3 irZ


!! WHERE ARE YOU !!!
they play more lame in general ;)
ask kitty
i hate when people act all retarded as soon as a girl enters the scene, it's either some kind of whine about them beeing girls or people start treating them all nicely and so on just because they're girls, like "oooooh, a girl, i must instantly start a discussion that is absolutely meaningless but makes her feel good"
Well, whats the difference with how alot of guys treat girls irl?
Parent
girls are simply evil
agree@reallife
Parent
agree with the espitaliatard
Parent
girls come and go, but epics are bind on pickup :o
stupid journal evan.. rly
Agreed aswell.
Parent
umm, I left it open for anyone, so even girls could respond with their experiences. It does serve a purpose anyway so we shall see.
Parent
what purpose?
Parent
sexism, misogyny, competition and why do girls still have separate competitions in gaming? Read cuttyP's reply, kinda highlights the main thing for me, and I just wanted to get some opinions about where people stand on the issue :< is that so bad ? eventual purpose is for an article.
Parent
I dont see the difference really.. It's mainly a men's sport cuz males tend to like it more than girls do, but the girls that DO play this game are just like the boys that play it. I've played with christa, irZ, kitty and tracy (princess) and I can't say it's any different than playing with just men.

and still, I dont see the point in this journal. if ppl tend to react different cuz there is a girl on comms it's because they are teenagers acting stupid, imo. nothing more nothing less and certainly nothing to write about.
Parent
Well yeah, but thats only half the issue, the players aren't really the problem. It's the competition, who continue to make "girl-only" competitions etc kinda adding more oil to the flames.
Parent
Girl-only compo's are stupid imho. Any girl contesting in those has no self-respect.

The only difference in gaming between men and women are that there are more men than women in gaming and that we have different sex-organs and a different voice, but even the latter is not always true. HI RAZZ :P
Parent
I'm glad you see my point ;)
Parent
So you are saying 2000 years of history and experience < Ronners personal opinion :P

There's a reason to have seperate competition. As I said before: this is just femenist bullshit. Having same rights =/= having same capabilities.
Parent
I don't think there is any real reason to have separate competition in competitive gaming at all.
Parent
never thought you to be the sexist type.
Parent
I'm not. I'll say it once again: equal rights doesn't mean equal physiology. I'm pretty convinced that if you look at the brains of man and women you will find differences cause by differences in biology and the way you get raised as a child.

I dont know if women could be good ETplayers, but they dont show interest in it. Looking at other games there's rarely girls in the top rankings. Maybe I should check out Halo and see if they got any top players who are girls.
Parent
Could be partly true, however have you ever considerd the fact that maybe why not many girls are found in top rankings, are due to the fact that this game is ruled by mens to 97% ?
You do the math.
Parent
I think cuttyP has no clue :P Stop this feminist bullshit. Women and men are not the same, giving them the same rights doesnt make them equal biologicaly or culturaly. Afaik in korean progaming only bunny made it to the top, currently being the only girl playing in Starleague ...
Parent
well yeah, but the ratios you have to think of that. 19/20 players at the top of a game might be male and that 1 female represents a much smaller group so its not a lack of skill as such just in proportions.
Parent
I dont think so. Male and female brains are just not the same. Female are better at multitasking for example. They can have a conversation with you while perfectly eavesdropping on somebody else at the same time.

Males are better at math, whether its biological or cultural, that besides the question. I guess these difference are the reason why professional competition has separate leagues fro men and women. Hell, even at school the boys had to run 5km wheras the girls only had to run 3,5km etc.
Parent
There are far more biological differences than you specified, but it's not the topic. :p
Parent
so if women are better at multitasking (which I know to be true :P) why are they still so underrepresented in strategy games, which as a matter of fact demand A LOT of multitasking?
Parent
its not rly multi tasking tbh, u just need insight in the game
Parent
can you link me to the differences in males/females brains (wiki or smth), would be appreciated!
Parent
i dont care
i dont understand, why u dont ask the girls instead what we r thinking about playing with boys only?!
and imo there is no difference, but some kiddies act like retards if they play with a girl...
"May I open the teamdoor for you, madame?"
Parent
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
like that episode in south park where those kids start acting like monkeys? Or are they mean to you?
Parent
there were a lot stupid actions i had on vent, but i dont wanna tell them, because well i just learned dont to care. although its hard sometimes and i had to ban some ppl from vent because of their rude statements.
Parent
ah, sux, sry :/
Well, ur right to not pay attention to them if they act so retarded. Prolly their first contact with a girl :P
Parent
Burn them.
because they steal the attention you need? :P
Parent
That too. :(
Parent
i like girls
Where is the difference? Unlike real sports, ET and other games don't give anyone physical advantage. I'm a very small guy and know how it is to be treated like that in school competitions. So I think E-Sports are a great thing to play together with girls/women just because both genders are equal here.

: D


how tall are you?
Parent
i cant laugh since oyu know how to deal with dihydrogen monoxide :[


im 180
Parent
Well evan i guess you should know the answer yourself because as soon as one girl enters your journal you immediately reply to her that she should show some pics and that you will make a pic of yourself as well for her
it seems u study evan pretty well :]
Parent
Nah, I just remember shit that tends to occur often here
Parent
nice remember skiLLz :]
Parent
i miss those conversations with manki about how horny you get when you see a naked girl and about girls beeing shaved or not, ahahahahahahahahaha
Parent
shaved > all tbh
Parent
agree, no to pubic hair1
Parent
hahhaha i miss manki in general, i guess he is the dumbest et player :d
Parent
Go play with dolls
and what about gays?
Go play with dolls
Parent
i played a lot with irz, I didn't treat her any different than i would do with men, it's just the same to me, only a bit of a higher voice and u can really have nice convo's with them, atleast with irz, so it's actually quite the same for me
Looking at the 'skills' you need to play computergames, its no wonder girls perform worse in some area's. Beeing able to place onself in a 3d environment, converting a 2d image into a 3d images inside your head is easier for men on average.

Also, most big military leaders were male, females just dont the competetive edge. When playing ETpub and girls join I always wonder how they can be such good medics, actually playing with you instead of just being the next medic who shoots you in the back while you are in a 1v1.

They somehow lack the aggresiveness, and I'd prefer to have them play a supportive class: defensive medic or support fieldops.

They are teh pwn for teamspirit however :P
I suppose sqzz is a girl
Parent
so busted. Actually I blame Roos for giving me that oppinion.
Parent
pherhaps he is just a little feminin
Parent
Sqzzz is very well in touch with his femine side indeed.
Parent
They can make more money that way.
Yeah, I remember the naked Mousie pics. She sure was hawt.
Parent
nP4me .. if they want to play why not?
theyre the same as men accept for the looks and some other details.. why shouldnt they be allowed to play??
les seules don't only have the looks:)
they also have nice aim.
I remember this report on tmf of pro gamers, and there was a female cs team in it, they went to a female lan where all these girl teams all over the world were gathered and they were well prepared, tax wise nstuff...
das allemaal hetzelfde:D
Parent
ye k they are nice to look at, but still i don't think looks are everything:D
THAT GIRL IS TEH SEX
Don't make a difference :/


EDIT: I wonder how girls think about playing with boys :o
these xfire girls are at least very retarded
gamers are gamers.
right, not gameresses
Parent
girls can't think so effectively as boys sorry but that's true
i baked a nice cake which tastes realy good even a girl couldnt do it better :]
no actually im not good at baking cakes, however I _am_ good in making lemonade :p
Parent
so we can work together to eat a good cake and drink limonade :o
Parent
make a cookie for me??
Parent
only lemonade sorry :d
Parent
me dont like lemonade :/
Parent

Parent

Parent
oookay man!
Parent

Parent

Parent

Parent
wTf he tastes realy fine :]
Parent
send some and ill send u some home made lemonade
Parent
until the cake reach ur home it will be parched
Parent
think it's great, why shouldn't they be a part of it?
I don't get why so many ppls are flaming evan, at least for once someone made a journal with potential for a normal discussion.

I won't state my opinion here though :p
feel free to pm me it though :P
Parent
Nah, cba :'d
Parent
lazy bastard you ;D
Parent
Great, more attention whores.
link for the shg results / brackets ? ;o)
I can imagine that a girl can be pissed off pretty soon when she starts to play ET "activ", as 90% of ET community are retards or childish nerds.

I'd love to see more girls =/
why do I have to agree to most of your comments?
Parent
because im pretty much the best informed, smartest and most important person on this page i guess
Parent
I knew that answer would come -.-

yeah you made it :D I don't agree to that! ^^
Parent
war etienne ned in die verliept?
If they want to be viewed as peers in competition, gaming is an opportunity, but then some sponsor sees boobs and buts and girl tournaments are held, and the shit hits the fan.
The closest I've seen to a girl in a competition on a Belgian LAN was one of the Red Bull promo chicks :p
only played with Germany anna & Netherlands kitty, and they're both cool, decent players too =)
ban loekino
he's writing dutch crap!
I've played with kit4na and kitty, and it doesn't really make a difference playing with gerls

Parent
