Wasabi the J posted:Idk if you're joking or not but that's actually a controversy at the moment. In my opinion a lot of the team excuses that were mostly along the lines of, "girls totally should be competing, (but the ones that are aren't a good fit for our [all-male] teams)." To be honest e-sports are just like any other sport: men are way better. There is a ton of sexism in the gaming industry as in any other but I don't think that's what is preventing women from being on OWL teams. If a girl was good enough to make one of the pro-OW teams I'm sure they would gladly take her but none are.

I don't know if you're just trolling or what, but I don't buy "chicks are just bad at vidya games." It's a combination of sexism, visibility, and toxic environments, just like many fields of employment that're wondering why women won't participate in them. It's probably more like, "If any girl was willing to put up with constant gender specific discrimination and harassment, both on the road to being noticed by a pro-OW team, after getting signed on with the team, and likely post leaving the team, I'm sure they would gladly take her, but none are. EDIT: Whoops, I bothered to give a serious reply, maybe that was a rookie mistake.

There's more men than women that play games, so there's a larger pool of men to choose from. Men are also for whatever reason just better at practically every type of athletic sport than women. And e-sports is an athletic activity requiring handeye coordination and reflexes etc. A talented enough woman might overcome that and make the league. It will probably happen at some point. There are some really good OW women who make it to top 500. Such a woman would have to deal with terrible sexism and creeps in the community because gamers are terrible people. jmistajay posted:I don't know if you're just trolling or what, but I don't buy "chicks are just bad at vidya games."

No, not trolling. I don't think women are bad at video games or anything, but being a top FPS player requires incredible reflexes, hand-eye, and a long history of playing such games. Guys get exposed to games earlier than women, there's more guys that play them than women, and guys tend to have biological athletic advantages over women. Just because e-sports doesnt focus on physical strength and speed doesnt mean it's not still using attributes that men seem to be superior to women at like handeye, reflexes, etc. I mean poo poo look at the top dart players in the world. The top men would beat the top women. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I wonder if all-female video game leagues would force participants to get sex testing just like athletic sports leagues do. Because if a girl is good at sports it means she's secretly a man trying to cheat the system.

Because if a girl is good at sports it means she's secretly a man trying to cheat the system. There is a lady Overwatch player who was so good that everyone decided that she was actually cheating and she had to jump through some hoops to prove otherwise. Also, of course, she was not drafted for the pro league.

Considering the ad is South African, it makes sense. It's pronounced something closer to "Sit holy." Similarly, the name Sexwale is not pronounced sex whale.
