Then ppl would've said that they were forcing some LGBT agenda. It was done fine.

Were Rockstar accused of pushing an LGBT agenda when they titled and revolved a full GTA 4 story DLC around a gay character? I don't think so.
All I'm saying is if we gotta have some gay characters then let's make them have more context and be more nuanced.

A lot of characters didn't get too much context in the games story mode.

1. The character that is gay doesn't have their sexuality brought up obviously, people (you) complain that there's no reason behind them being gay and they're just "a token gay"

2. The character that is gay has their sexuality as a part of the game and people (again, you) complain "WOW, SO OBVIOUS. THEY'RE OBVI JUST DOING THIS FOR PR AND TO SHOUT ABOUT HOW INCLUSIVE THEY ARE"

You're transparently homophobic and transparently inferring I should hang myself under the guise of just being too edgy for others to handle.

Dude just chill for a second, I have the odd feeling that one of your neck veins is about to pop, think of the mess that would be.

And I didn't know that nowadays advocating for a gay character to have more context was considered homophobic guess I'm out of touch, gotta start posting on Twitter more.

I feel like this question doesn't get asked enough. Why are no women playing this game? Or any competitive game for that matter? Yes, of course there are a few, but for the most part it's just men. Is it our fault? Is it the game companies' fault? Is there anything we can do to bring more women into competitive gaming? Maybe it's biological on some level and women just aren't very interested in competitive games, but if it is men's fault that there are no women in competitive gaming, we really owe it to them to fix whatever social issues there are keeping them from competing. That's half of the population we are keeping from enjoying something really amazing if we have anything to do with it. But, I don't want to jump to conclusions. I want to hear what some of you think are the reasons why no women are playing these great competitive games with us.

It's true. The number of women that play MK could be counted with my fingers and I would still have a couple left.

Now the other question: Why are women never really good? I've always wondered...it's always said that they're also smarter than men, so idk...

Most women enjoy more begginer friendly and user friendly games, my wife loves playing video games on a daily basis. But not fighting games. She likes Smite, destiny, halo. Games like MK have a super high learning curve to be competitive. Where as she can hop on smite and play on a team and decent or just play support same with the others.
But on another note the percentage of males that play games compared to the percentage of females that play video games is vastly different right out the gate. And I don't want to hear no "well actually in recent surveys..." That's bull. I can drive to any town big or small and ask random ppl on the street do you play games a lot of women don't even know what the main consoles are called much less what MK is. That being said there are some out there. I'm just saying it's not comparable to the men who know about game consoles/video games

Harassment coming from a guy that no girl above a 4 would fuck. It's easy to ridicule these people and hurt them with words worse than they hurt people of the opposite sex with their's. That's really what people need to start doing. People who harass women are usually people who can't get laid by anyone they'd like to have sex with.

A lot a women don't put time into fighters, this is true. That said, some of the best I've played have been women. I also consider myself a pretty competent player.

It just varies, but the majority aren't as invested or "skilled" because they don't practice or learn match ups.

I know some girls feel uncomfortable in a male dominated field as well, for different reasons. I think that plays perhaps a bit of a role as well.

Man you gotta work on your phrasing cuz this comes off like you're saying that women will never be as good at fighting games as men... prolly not what you meant to say.

I for one did play a lot of MK9 with one girl in particular and she had one of the best Sindel I've seen to date, I'm talking lift cancel pressure, the swag stuff, so props to her.

You're right, that's not what I meant.
And take no offense, but did she ever beat you? I've played good female players before, but never a really good one.

As a matter of fact, I dream of some day being able to train one so she can play at a really high level, like a guy's usual level.
