Also there’s an incredible sense of ignorant entitlement in male only guilds not present in female-only guilds. I can completely understand and support he latter, whereas the former merely re-affirm all that is wrong with gaming culture. There’s a huge difference between a safe space and discrimination.

And let’s not forget that male-only guilds are just plain dumb. Girls are fun.

Of course, I sometimes need a reminder of that!

I mean…disagree, go ahead! But keep to the argument. There is no need to get personal.

I will say though, that it certainly made for some interesting reading and thinking! I was actually a bit surprised all the hullabaloo it stirred up

I won’t like though…you know that spot in BFD where you have to jump (by the murlocs)? Yea…I still fail that jump probably 50% of the time I go there. And I will admit that I joke “Sorry guys, everyon knows girls can’t jump in video games” when I fail. That being said, I’m usually just with Brade or a group of friends who know that I’m just kidding…but perhaps comments like that, even taken in jest, are what keep stereotypes like this alive.

I do agree though, once they started attacking K on a personal level, they lost 100% of their credibility, and any portion of their argument that had any validity went out the window. All it takes is one stone.

Eh…it’s a touchy subject, for sure. But honestly, you aren’t discriminating because “boys can’t play WoW” or because “all boys cause drama”, you are creating a unique environment in which you want to play…without making a statement other than “must be a hen to join the hen party”. I think it’s hugely different, at least in my opinion.

We didn’t really actively recruit anyone. When we were working on raiding in the Kara days, we did occasionally post a recruitment post in the Livejournal forum from which we spun off. But we have never been hardcore raiders.

Should we be called out because we discriminate? Whether or not there is a sisterhood behind it all, we do still not let you in if you don’t identify as female. Perhaps because we’re smaller and we don’t recruit actively and we don’t hardcore raid it goes by unnoticed, but it’s still there, at the end of the day.

And I probably should be posting this on the other blog, but I know you, Beru/Earen.

and it is sad to see that people in America still discriminate against others. don’t they realize how that drags us down and keeps us from moving forward?
