Have a vagina? Play videogames? Now you're a celebrity, apparently!

To be fair, we all know who to blame for that: very, very lonely gamers (not that gamers are inherently lonely, of course).

Didn't think it was a big deal til I saw that the other player that doesn't have any celebrity status was titled "Randomly Selected Player", why didn't they just call the female gamers that?

This is a MR issue how?

Haven't you heard? Doing something entirely ordinary while being female is a noteworthy accomplishment worthy of press attention, if not special awards!

Not a MR issue. It does show a social double standard though.

This isn't a uniquely mensrights situation. While bree has come out and said she doesn't mind, some people feel as if this is actually bad for the women. Take of that what you will.

Who are these people and why should I care? I mean it's cool getting to face off against a developer in the game they helped create, but the others? Who are they?

And what's a youtube celebrity? A really good attention whore.

lol, would be pyro too

In case anybody's wondering, the organizer of this event did indeed confirm the only reason why these "female gamers" were placed there was because of their female genitalia.
