lvl10Wizard

Yeah I enjoyed Fallout 3 for the the couple of weeks I played it but Fable has taken a while for me to get into I think it's a time investment thing, I don't want to commit to playing RPGs for ages. Maybe I should wait for SF4 

I really can't decide and need some help

"What led you to believe this thread would be a good idea after your previous one got locked?"

"Gender discussion is fine. "Let's figure out plans and strategies to get females here" is not. Also, the topic has already been brought up at other times on the forums, you weren't the first."

"However you dress it up, that thread was poitless and stupid. It wasn't locked because you can't talk about gender issues on here, it was locked because it was worded immaturely and only served to alienate females even more."

Since discourse on gender is obviously a difficult subject that doesnt mix well with internet forums and video games it is best to deal with the subject by treating it as taboo and blocking debate on the subject entirely.

I will make sure to keep my posts to "What game shall I buy Fallout or Fable?" or "Xbox owns PS3" in the future since these topics are clearly vastly more interesting and deserve praise.

Lesson learned thanks GB.

Hooray for censorship, hallmark of progression.

"Also, what's wrong with it being a bunch of guys?"

Go to a party where it's all guys and ask yourself the same question."

But...this isn't a party. It's an internet forum. No one's going to get drunk, take you into the back room and give you a handjob here. You'll actually have to leave the house for that."

"His name is GiantRetard. Why are we giving him serious answers?"

Dunno, just felt like chatting about music for a change..."

I suppose. Only we all know music threads go the exact same way."

Do we? how do they go?"

It all disolves into talking about metal, who can play solos faster than someone else, this is proper music, that's garbage etc. While I like talking about music, sometimes, it's a drag on here."

"To be completely serious here. I don't understand the obsession with having females here. I think part of the problem is everyone assumes people are males on forums. I think it's pretty silly to ask "how do we get more females in this community?" Honestly, what do you think can be done, turning GiantBomb all pink with glitter and advertising Barbie's Horse Adventures on the front page? If females want to talk about games and become part of the GB community, they will. There's no "getting" them here."
