Hopefully there isn't any drama about sex (gender), wait a minute........
Never mind there will always be drama with these types of issues.
Edit:
Also when did this just start with women making games to the discussion about Nazi's.
Next thing you'll know spiderman will appear out my monitor and toss memes at me.

I'm positive I am not the only one who has this approach, the game is enjoyed or hated on its own merits. I could care less if it was created by snips,snails & puppy dog tails.
THEY made one of those games that I do not regret purchasing, I also bought their season pass. I can play a girl character in the game if I want, but that had zero bearings on whether or not I would drop kick someones face across the map, or twist that melon they call a skull clear around 180degrees snapping their neck. Precisely how it should be.
In my opinion, the internet is the wild west of male activity. The same could be said about female activity, but that wouldn't make for juicy discussions. Quake = definite wild west mentality,the same cannot be said for the modern games I play.
Being a sexist pig? Being a racist? Good luck staying on a server. Clanberries CA had the same implementation going on back in the day, there was zero room for shenanigans that didn't fall into the category of your basic chat / shit talk.
Cursing and derogatory comments would typically result in temp ban's. CatGirl who used to frequent the IHOC/Shmack servers was one of the few girl Quakers who actually had to wade through you're average ignorance to enjoy a game. FUB or "FatUglyBitch" could wear some of that blame, it reached a point where even though myself and her was long time Quaker buds, she no longer chatted in-game.
Now she's gone, I know why that is (not for a fact) but its safe to say, wild west mentality went a long way if not the full mile to making the game not enjoyable,and has since moved on to other things.
I have never seen a reason to grabbing ones own crotch (or feeling out a player) just to verify what sex I'm interacting with in a game. They gonna get it just the same!
I think things COULD be different, but it would have to start @ home and how the growing young men witness the adult men treat their women,be it a wife or daughter.

I read the article like 1-2 days ago....
James Watson, Co-Discoverer of DNA and Accused of Racist Remarks, Selling Nobel Prize for Money
Germans basically invented the modern jet engine and rocketry. NASA owes immense credits to Germans. You can be a complete piece of shit as a person but still do great things for the world, even if those great things blossomed out of extremely barbaric or atrocious. When you think of a modern airliner or SpaceX, do you think of Nazi's? Well fuck no!
It's hard to put into words but basically this : When I see people , I see exactly that... PEOPLE. When I watch a NASA documentary, I don't think wow Nazi's we're such 'blah blah blah'.
A flower can smell sweet and look beautiful, but that doesn't mean anyone should dig up the roots of the flower just to find a possible negative roots that started it all. Maybe it's a cross breed of Rose and some other flower, and the person responsible for that particular flower was real asshat. That doesn't mean the gift to the world should be diminished by the particular asshat's own personal beliefs or opinions.
For people like me 'who get it' , its a really tiring discussion trying to explain things to a jerkoff who is set in their ways and not worth MY time. If everyone took my stance, ignorance would be rife.
the best example of awesome vs not awesome?

Guy on the right is infinitely one of my hero's. He's above the bullshit, much like I consider myself now days. I'm above the bullshit, but it helps when you wade through the bullshit as a youth and discover actually how much bullshit you had to wade through to figure it out. The hardest part is how to help others avoid wading through the bullshit,which is impossible. Nothing clicks quite as well as experience.
? Next time scroll back 1 page and do some reading. If you're willing to post surely you are ALL willing to read, and with a little bit of reading you'd all be @ full capacity to look at my posts and see where I referenced the likeness of the OP to all the examples I provided.
Jeez fellas...... it was an example, and someone chose to directly respond to my example. Hardly off topic, considering I provided NASA/SpaceX owing to Germans,modern rockets,and then proclaimed I never watch a NASA documentary and think about Nazis.Same way I never play a game and think DID A WOMAN OR MAN MAKE THIS GAME..... He could have just as easily used the co discoverer of DNA as another example, but he found it easier to discuss,wait, why the fuck am I explaining shit to people who don't bother to click one link,scroll and do their own homework?
That was rather difficult for me to even bother with. I'm bout to play Quake,online multiplayer, and I'm going to think about all of you while I do it.
