Cringeworthy promo for a female League of Legends team - General

stop fucking arguing neither of you are getting anywhere

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;40861793]I feel like it would've been a lot worse actually.[/QUOTE] why? people only seem to whine about "attention whores" when the woman is attractive it's just men feeling they're being exploited by their own attraction then projecting it onto them

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40861779]I bet if they were unattractive there wouldn't be this kind of response[/QUOTE] If it was the same exact video but replacing the girls with uglier girls, then yes, it would be the same generally negative response. Unless perhaps if you're referring to the "debate" about whether or not they are trying to seduce men with their evil cleavage, which actually if they were replaced with uglier girls with the same cleavage, then I'm sure the same "debate" would have emerged eventually.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40861817]why? people only seem to whine about "attention whores" when the woman is attractive it's just projecting their own attraction onto them and feeling they're exploited because of it[/QUOTE] I think there still would be, they'd just focus less on feeling exploited and more on how they're ugly attention whores.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40861690]it's not up to you to decide whether you're sexist, dude you're the reason why women are constantly turned away from gaming, because you automatically treat them like they're "attention whores"[/QUOTE] uhm, did you even look at the thread? i mean shit they have a video that was basically GAMER GURLZ the movie. its pretty obvious they are using their gender as an attention getter. and i dont mean their tits alone. keep rating me dumb you idiots, maybe one day one of those fair maidens will reward you.

[video=youtube;tUAhzYCvPe0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAhzYCvPe0[/video] wow look at these GAMER GUYZ they're clearly just using their gender for attention just look at the sexy pose at the end wow it's so obvious they're just trying to exploit girls with their looks

That one guy would be the image I'd bring up whenever I have to describe a neck beard. It's like a perfect example.

max has achieved his goal without needing any more input on the matter [QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;40861545]i agree that having half the screen taken up by the facecam is ridiculous but i don't see what's wrong with the clothing wait, are you saying that cleavage = attention whore or some stupid double standard like that[/QUOTE] nice

Read the title as 'Cringeworthy porno for a female League of Legless team'

[QUOTE=Winters;40861948]That one guy would be the image I'd bring up whenever I have to describe a neck beard. It's like a perfect example.[/QUOTE] he should really cover that up. you don't need to be wearing such a beard to play a video game it's distracting and obviously only there to attract attention. how am I meant to focus on the gameplay with a beard like that present

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40861972]he should really cover that up. you don't need to be wearing such a beard to play a video game it's distracting and obviously only there to attract attention[/QUOTE] he should probably shave it off because its fucking disgusting

The video gaming market used to be a great majority male, and so no one is really used to females getting a slice of the pie, and so they fight back against it for some incredibly idiotic reason (sexism I guess, but I don't think they mean to be sexist).

Why is it that whenever you see a female esports team, it's always the focus that they're female? It's never that they're a new team looking to make it big, it's that they're an all-female team (and never just a team with a female, it's always all-female). Why can't they focus on playing the game just like any other team? I'll give these girls the benefit of the doubt, though, they actually didn't have much that they said regarding that, so it could just be the team manager/PR/whatever pushing that sort of stuff with the video, but still.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40861987]i was under the impression that it still is[/QUOTE] I believe the market is becoming closer and closer to equilibrium right now, though males still have a majority, I wanted to say "is still a great majority male", but I'm not too sure if "great" is a good word for what it is now, and I wanted to explain my concept in terms of a "great majority male" so...

[QUOTE=codemaster85;40862024] replace black with gamer girl and its the same deal. you just piss off people when you try to act better because of something as stupid as gender/race.[/QUOTE] please dont bring my words into this that was on a different subject

They themselves actually focused on "I'm X and I play Y position", along with some quip as to how they'll outplay you. Most of the whole "female" focus was from the video, which they may have very little control over. Now, I could be wrong, but I don't want to jump the gun and just be another asshat yelling about girl gamers.

Them using their gender in any manner is just what would logically be done by a team attempting to enter into a male dominated market, that's what differentiates them from the majority, and that's not their fault, it's the market's. Technically you could blame it on the alienating video game male market but whatever.

Of course half of them are asian american :v:

Don't forget these brave gamer gurls. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXryZnC55U0[/media] [editline]1st June 2013[/editline] Love all the feathers and white dresses. Really grasps the essence of pro gaming.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40862157]they literally never did this did you even watch the video they only mentioned men at like one small part, and that was to say that they made up 90% of players [editline]1st June 2013[/editline] they point out the massive gender disparity and the only thing you can do is whine about an all-female team making a video wow[/QUOTE] i didnt complain about them making a video, get your head out of your ass. i was pointing out that the video kept throwing all female team, gender difference, and gurl gamer vibe all over the damn place. if it was done exactly like that video you posted earlier i would have literally no problem with it.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;40862659]who cares when pretty much every other team is all-male then an all-female team is going to stand out more and whining about "gurl gamers" is way more cringeworthy than this video could ever be[/QUOTE] the whole gurl gamers part was the cringe part in how cheesy it is, how do you not get the point this hard?

[QUOTE=codemaster85;40862686]the whole gurl gamers part was the cringe part in how cheesy it is, how do you not get the point this hard?[/QUOTE] if there's anything cringeworthy about the video then it's about how dramatic it is, like so many other clan videos if you think it's cringey because of "gurl gamers" then you should seriously throw out your fedora how you can even use that term unironically is beyond me
