gamers rise up

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Oh, you have found 5 "strong" women historically. Congratulations.

Read a book

 

[Trashos]

I have read thousands of books. What is your point?

yikes then I doubt you'd be working in those mines

 

[Trashos]

Your doubts are misguided.

'female pirate leaders is unimmersive'

points to 7 real life examples

trashposter: whats your point even

 

[FreeKaner]

Oh, you have found 5 "strong" women historically. Congratulations.

I am sure your great grandmothers felt oppressed for not being allowed to work in the mines. They totally didn't remember they are "oppressed" as soon as work became safe office work.

Do you really need to stoop so low so quickly?

 

[Trashos]

What now, do I have to work on my pace?

 

[hivemind]

shut the fuck up, loser

 

[FreeKaner]

What now, do I have to work on my pace?

When someone talks about how unrealistic it is female leaders in military contexts exist, the reasonable and expected answer is presenting examples otherwise because it is obviously wrong. When you out of blue lash out in bitterness talking about oppression and mines as default, it is a really bad look.

It is out of place, uncalled for, not even the topic at hand and wasn't even mentioned by anyone. Really comes off as impotent rage.

 

[Trashos]

FreeKaner, I am not here to look good.

I am not bitter either. I love women. Just not the manly ones, I find those disgusting.

since trump took over, every adult male in the western world is conscripted to work at the coal mines

being an oriental you wouldn't understand this gamer oppression

List of all 4 star generals in US Army:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Army_four-star_generals

225 people, one woman.


List of biggest crime bosses in history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crime_bosses

320+ names, I see one woman.



But in Deadfire, suddenly HALF (if not more) of both worlds are women. Yeah totally realistic and no agenda at all.

 

[Reinhardt]

How many 4 star generals in US Army can use magic?

cruel: yes but how many women lead the us military

When you turn exceptions into rules, you can't expect everyone to be on board.

normal people: 'what a fun fantasy romp with pirate queens and dragons'

trashposter: 'my very notions of reality have been challenged by this sorosian ploy

 

[Trashos]

You are right, Deadfire's success leaves me with no argument.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Dude that has read 1000's of books and plays video games thinks he would be allowed work in the mines even though he has no upper body strength

 

[Trashos]

You are assuming my upper body strength.

PS. Yes, Orma, I do lift. Thanks for asking.

 

[FreeKaner]

It doesn't matter how many female captains and generals are as a ratio, existence of even a single one proves that it is possible, thus in fantasy it is not only plausible but actually realistic. Which it doesn't have to be by the way.

josh sawyer: 'im gonna diarrhea aboot gods and phantom babies for about 200 hours of playtime'

trashposter: good sir, i simply cannot get on board with this whole FEMOIDS LEADING HIGHLY MASCULINE PIRATE-MENFOLK business

Yeah, the Battlefield this is kind of annoying because it's an otherwise realistic game about a real time period and takes a lot of liberties for incloooosion. However a pirate fantasy game can do whatever the fuck it wants really, and the existence of real life examples just makes whining about it all the more silly. We're in a climate now where people are in full black and white tribal thinking mode.

 

[Reinhardt]

Most of the stronk wymmynz in Deadfire are fucking 7 feet tall shark orkz.
