I have a weird opinion on this thread, I think I'm going to white knight a bit actually. I think some of the posts in this thread have been ridiculously sexist tbh. Honestly when I was younger and to a degree now I wouldn't really trust a female to be good at the game. On average I think male gamers tend to be more hardcore for whatever reason. So I suppose a female has to "prove herself" to me so to speak.

I believe in this thread there were actually some great posts by females that made me respect them quite a bit with how they presented their viewpoints. Very fair and rational posts that express the truth of the situation: there is some sexism, some deserved, some undeserved. However, some of the replies to them were pretty fucking disgusting. You shouldn't call someone a whore just because they're a female... it's just kind of terrible. If this was reversed for whatever reason and a female said in a one line post "all men are sex hungry pigs" it would be pretty offensive.

Idk, I think this notion that "anyone who white knights is just pathetic and looking for sex" has to stop. Some of the things people have said in this thread have been way over the top and someone should call them out, but no one wants to be labeled as a white knight. It's kinda sad when our society has evolved to a point where it's better to trash females and treat them as horribly as possible rather than defend them.

I also didn't really like people discrediting hafu. They kicked her out cause of bad performance then a new team picked her up and beat the old team... to say fuck you to them? What? Think about what you just said and you will see that you are going out of your way to discredit her because she is female. Not all female gamers are good but if one is outstanding at multiple games you have to give them respect, you would respect a male gamer with those kind of results.
