This thread sure backfired :lol

Not at all. In fact the sheer fury I provoke, particularly the attacks on my alleged personal appearance, validate my concerns about misogyny in this hobby thoroughly.

I had no illusions this thread would be popular. There are very few active female members (part of my point) and certain men in geek culture can be extremely defensive about criticism by women of the portrayal of women. So don't flatter yourself, I was never trying to win over a troglodyte like you.

I do want to thank several male board members for their thoughtful remarks, including morphosis, Raymond Ferraro, nova, Deak Starkiller and Darth Madden. My apologies if I left anyone out.

But it's fun to do bad things :lol ;)

When you get to be my age, hood rat things = jail. :lol
 
That's ok...I can open my own door.

This is not a name I would ever want for myself. :lol

Sadly, you don't have a choice if you're in jail for either.:wink1:
And if my wife lets me you can buy me a drink anytime.

That is true, which is why I have no plans of being incarcerated.

If you ever make it to SDCC - I'll buy you a drink....if your wife is cool with it. In fact if your wife is there I'll buy her one too. :duff

Haven't been to SDCC in years; hate crowds. Wife is cool.:hi5:
 
What is the point of making a statement like this and then pointedly ignoring any legitimate questions or objections people make? While there has been a good amount of nonsense, several people have given completely sensible counter-arguments and yet each time Star Puffs just skips over them, returning here only to respond with easy name-calling to obvious trolling/joke posts or to again pat herself on the back.

At this point I'm going to say that Star Puffs accepts that she has been beaten in any debate here but of course will not admit defeat here. She engages only with the joke posts (or offers the odd easy retort to others) because her observations are shallow (pretty much ending at "OMG, that's sexist! That guy's a loser virgin!") and so she is unable to defend them or debate others who ask her to go further. She perhaps did not realise this at the beginning but I think she certainly realised this after just a couple of people legitimately questioned her. As it is now, I would honestly be amazed if Star Puffs would respond or engage in the proper debate others have presented her with here. If someone appears and questions her (or if she would just simply go back a few pages), and she addresses all their points in a post, and then they reply, and then she again replies, blown away I would be. I mean, wow... At this point it's unimaginable. I think all of us, male and female, would be surprised.

So... can you do it, Star Puffs? Can you manage to stand behind the things you say when people question them? And if you can't, think about what that says if you haven't already.

I bet when Starpuffs gets her Brometheus Elizabeth Shaw figure, she takes off all the clothes and displays it in the nude with nothing but the helmet and boots.

I hear she's going to come with an accessory. Looks like great head.

Because it's easy to cherry-pick posts to make your arguments look better to others.

She won't go toe-to-toe with those offering cogent, rational thoughts.

I did not start this thread to debate, but to express how I feel.

In turn it is very easy for you to grandstand about responding to everyone when you do not have 20+ people talking at you at the same time. I have a limited amount of time to devote to this this weekend and often check the site on my mobile, where it is hard to write at length. And morphosis answered several issues to my satisfaction, so there was no need to respond.

Even so you sweepingly deride my responses as "shallow" and worse blatantly lie about the nature of them (the "OMG, that's sexist! That guy's a loser virgin!". If I am so utterly worthless, why would you even want to hear my rebuttal?

The fact is despite your smug pretence, your manner of addressing me conveys no real interest in a debate. But I will give you the chance to prove me wrong. You have to do two things:

1. Select three people addressing me that you deem complete "nonsense" and call them out on it by name (i.e. quote them) with a one or two sentence remark on why it is unfair, inappropriate, etc. You are a capable writer and you admitted there was a "good amount" of it, so that should be an easy task.

2. Select what you consider the single best response to my position, which I have allegedly failed to address.

If you do both I will attempt to answer it, otherwise you are exposed as simply another person threatened by my criticism.
