Eyes on the World

[MecaKane]

Threads about people and events that go on in the world, are deligated to Eyes on Eachother, correct?
Threads that are about specific final fantasy games are deligated to that Final Fantasy forum, correct?
A thread questioning who we think the best looking boy in final fantasy ten is, in the ffx forum.
A thread questioning who we think the best looking girl in the world is, in the replacement for eyes on the world, eoeo. Maybe it'd be better in gen chat for it to get spammed up with 90 pictures of chun-li in about 20 seconds.

Sexism? I've seen 'girls only' or whatnot, on many threads that deal with subjects boys would have no interest in!

[Del Murder]

I'm not really following you. What's your beef exactly?

Leeza closed a Guys only thread in EoEO about hot girls and she called it sexist

[Psychotic]

I'm going to save us all a big long thread here.

The staff will find a minute difference in thread A from thread B, and keep pointing it out again and again, refusing to even consider the possibility that they might actually be wrong in any way. Someone will question why Kane cares so much about this issue, and then we all spam 'til closure.

Nothing is changed.

Oh ok. Well, sexism aside, pics of hot girls don't go in the serious forum. We apologize for not posting that in the rules anywhere. I guess

we.

were.

wrong.

Thank you Kane for bringing this up. We appreciate your caring for this site and issue.

If anyone has any comments on this specific issue, feel free to make them. All other posts will be deleted.

Sexy girls obviously.

Oh ok. Well, pics of hot girls don't go in the serious forum.

But in the unserious forum it leads to being retarded!

[NeoCracker]

Sounds like serious business to me


Edit: Quick question, does Leeza hold the record for most anti-specific staff member threads?

[Del Murder]

Yes, and that's because she does a good job.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I think you missed the point. Leeza's citation of sexism didn't refer to the "males only" aspect so much as it referred to the "base objectification of the opposite sex" aspect.

[NeoCracker]

Hey, women can objectify us men if they want, I don't think we'd complain.

[MecaKane]

Oh that's just silly!
Objectification is where you oggle some chick dressed moderately, miding her own business. Not modles/actresses/whatever!

1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women.
2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.
sexist

sexism

n : discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of the opposite sex

I think the word fit the thread.

[NeoCracker]

So tell me, did this thread have a point to begin with?

Also who is the signature patrol suppose to be?

I'll also take this opprotunity to mention Linus's name is still under the artist forum description

You might want to use a definition that isn't sexist itself.

But still, I don't follow how saying which women you find attractive and then posting pictures proving yourself, fit into any of those definitions.
