An Editorial Melee About Female Gamers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the put-up-your-dukes dept.

SR71 writes "Tom's Hardware has a strong debate between two of its editors in a face-off editorial about female gamers." From the article: "I'm not being puritanical - heck, a while ago I wrote about wanting to see more sex in videogames. Neither is this about being against female gamers. I simply take issue with people falling and fawning over these female gamers, and talking high-mindedly about how professional female e-sports will soon be on a par with the male circuit." The article contans some crass language that may be NSFW.

    I simply take issue with people ... talking high-mindedly about how professional female e-sports will soon be on a par with the male circuit.

    Just out of curiosity, what is "male e-sports" (dear God, what a horrid neologism) supposed to be "on par with?" News flash to the editor posting from his parents' basement: no activity that can be accomplished while eating a bag of Cheetos qualifies as a "sport."

    I didn't quite understand what you just said, but I'd venture to believe you're a veteran Grammar-Nazi.
