Don't make me sing the Train Song.

Nice choices! My three are Squall, Rinoa and Seifer.

I also adore Raijin because he is sexy. <3

Man, that shaving thread... I've been trying to catch up, but I'm only just past page 30 now. You guys must have the patience of saints. Kudos to ishi, Erin, Dragonz, Wazzy, Dev, Kark, and everyone else tearing it up in there.

On the GoT stuff, love the show, but Morrigan is on the money with the bad changes. That rape scene...


Also,

FF8 still sucks, Wazzy!

And slightly off topic...

But aside from the usual suspects in those threads, the really annoying part was having the XSEED PR/Marketing guy in the thread (as he has done in other threads about their recent games), pulling a Baghdad Bob routine about how people just "don't get it", that these games often have really amazing stories if you look past the T&A, and people unfortunately don't realize the game is not just about stripping girls to defeat them. "If only the game's marketing could accurately reflect that", says the game's marketing person.

I can't really comment on the discussion in that thread itself, but Tom isn't PR or Marketing. Both he and I had that tag because of our registration emails. Tom is a translator/editor and has very little to do with the marketing side of things. His tag has since been amended because of the confusion that causes. Just wanted to clear that up.

If I had more time I would be more involved in that thread but yeah everyone's been working hard in there to help show posters why their mentality is harmful.

That's not what your Skype says *moonface*

Hm? Which thread is this? The child sexual assault game thread that was locked?

Edit: wait I'm dumb I didn't see the quote. Or I'm just dumb.

Yeah. It's been both a painful and pleasant read (thanks to everyone's nicely laid out arguments and Opiate/Besada's bombs).

For the thread, could be the Criminal Girls thread, the banned game discussion thread, SKV, or the Akiba's Trip one. There have been a couple of late.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up! I understand if you generally avoid XSEED-related threads for professional reasons.

Oh yeah I think the one I saw him in a lot was Criminal Girls. I was trying to bleach the game from my mind, heh.

That's one of the best in the game!

So, I was elected president of a very large gaming club at uni, and I am also president of a competitive fighting game club.

New members and people who don't know who I am are very publically outraged and saying nasty things like that I slept with the former president to get such a position, because there's no way I'm actually a gamer. Thankfully, people who know me are lashing back with the "WTF, man?"s!

From just being in the clubs years prior (espeically with the fighting game blokes), people wanted me to prove to them that I was a gamer.

I did not mean to cause this drama, omg.

Screw those assholes. Stories like this make me want to go show this crap to the idiots over on gaming side that dismiss sexism in the community. It's still such a common attitude to question women if they're "true" gamers or not.

Glad to hear some people got your back!

You saying you dislike FF VI's music?

Looks like it's locked now, but what a thread that was! Didn't realize I'd hit member status in there for like a dozen posts. Lots of amazing folk in there, among the clueless jerks.

Hello! You good poster! Me welcome you!

<3333333. Welcome! I first noticed you in that ridiculous hair thread, but I assumed you were already here :x haha.

<3 :3 Thanks for the warm welcome, you two! I've been a GAF lurker since... 2006, haha. One of the first things I did when I finally got proper home internet was sign up for an account, and then...barely post at all. Threads like the hair one, though, get me going something fierce!

[Mono]

All of these things were said on the club's Facebook group, of which I'm not a member because I don't have a Facebook. Luckily my friend in the group told me about what was happening!

I went into big bad president mode and asked some people to leave and reported a few to the uni. This shouldn't be a problem in 2014, seriously.

For real. :/ I just think about how these are people who will be joining the workforce soon in the future and with those attitudes... ugh.

The nerdy clubs I'm part of at my college are very small and I'm always lamenting that they aren't larger, but it does mean dealing with that kind of shit a lot less since it's a pretty tight knit group. :/

If we at least changed some peoples minds I'm happy. There's too many posters that are stuck in their toxic ways and that thread called out a lot of them.

Hopefully they'll snap out of it, or they won't survive in the real world.

Larger clubs are good and bad! More members means more funding, which means we can throw pizza parties and use the big uni lecture halls to play games on huge projectors, which is a lot of fun! But with a club so huge, of course there are going to be problematic members and "cliques" developing over one unified, tight-knit group of friends, which would be kind of impossible with 100+ people.

Be glad that you're in a small club!

Welcome, Mono :3!

At the root of that ridiculous situation lies a bunch of immature, insecure boys who very likely feel extremely threatened by your ascension to power and have to resort to pathetic tactics to discredit you. I hope your unmistakable stance against sexism and sexual harassment sends a strong message of inclusiveness and egalitarianism and builds a stronger club over your tenure. Culture change begins with the actions of individuals--and you're doing it.

Bienvenida Erin!

I'm a bit nervous; hopefully I'll do things right! Ever since this was made public, I feel like the entire population of the university is watching my every move! It must be really uncommon for this sort of thing to happen, becuase I've already been asked for an interview by the school newspaper as well as the women's group since the new club leaders were announced. :X Though, the ratio of males to females is insane: 4 girls in the club, including myself, with 106 or so members.

I hope I don't mess things up and send the wrong message to people, even though the sorts of people who would think ill of me for doing nothing yet are probably the sorts of people that would critizice my every move no matter what.

Seems like people think that my sole motivations for leading these clubs is to stand up to the patriarchy, but really they just needed a new president and I love the club and knew I had enough time on my hands to manage it!

I'm definitely chill yet organized enough for this club to not fall apart, though! \o/

Women who claim power are subjected to some extraordinarily intense scrutiny in this culture. Before all is said and done, you'll probably be made to feel like a revolutionary of sorts (which isn't entirely untrue--owning power, as a female, is a revolutionary act). Those interviews sound promising! I'm excited for you, and you can definitely come here for support and advice. You are somebody, and I believe in you! :3
