because it has disguised toast

god knows what would happen if women could possibly use the disguised toast

whole societies would be upturned!

(at least i'm pretty sure that's a hearthstone card)

Good thing the E-sports league doesn't have much authority in Dota 2. Starcraft, Tekken and Hearthstone, darn. Riot only cares about themselves, so obviously they're going to allow women, and I don't mind as long as they don't try to use legal trickery, libel and other such underhanded tactics to kill the competition again.

One of the cards says "this guy's toast".
It's a joke based on that

[Descan]

The "why" is basically "The REAL sports do it, so we have to, too!"

Saying shit about "international sport guidelines" which I've never even heard of it :'V

Also, Finland didn't let women play... and this is what they had to say, from that article that was posted:

"We would also like to point out that the Finnish eSports Federation is currently lobbying for the equal rights of male and female players in the IeSF tournaments," he said. "This is an ongoing process and we of course welcome any support in this matter."

[Sergarr]

This feels like some kind of backwards progress.

There was a time, once, when I could say I'd never been turned on by a rock. No longer is this the case. Dammit, 4chan.

Seriously, though, sculptors are amazing. "I'm going to create the impression of a human figure draped in thin, possibly transparent fabric, and do so using nothing but goddamn stone." And then it works. HOW.

Cool. Image me!

Because art, dude. Art for the art gods.

Deco for the deco throne?

[TD1]

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of artlessness, I will fear no abstract art: for thou art with me; thy paint and thy chisel they comfort me.

[Bauglir]

Cool. Image me!

Oh, just swing by /tg/ and look for the thread about lewd history. I'm gonna take the safer bet that even if it is respectable and old art, it may still be porn, so I ain't linking directly.

EDIT: They deleted the thread. Ah well.

If they want it to be registered as proper sports by the ISA and IOC (which segregate genders) they have to follow similar rules... and they want to do what's profitable, as well. If not enough people watch female tournaments, they won't run them, and it's not done out of maliciousness. Pretty sure that's what they said anyway.

[Helgoland]

Two questions:
1) Should e-sports be treated differently than regular sports?
2) Should the gender division in other sports be abolished?

[LordSlowpoke]

if you want to abolish gender division in sports, you must first abolish sexual dimorphism

unless we're speaking about sports in which it does not matter

good luck objectively figuring out which ones these are
