How is Gal even an option for the word sexist when she’s one of the few armored females not in a metal bikini… this has to be some attempt at trolling right? I am 10,000% positive the balance changes are not made because of gender… and im scared someone even came to that conclusion.

Gearbox and their main game franchises are about as gender neutral as you can get in the games industry atm, yet every game they put out I see the same sexist slander posted on their forums.

It’s odd that many other games that don’t put as much effort into this area as GBX don’t see this kind of stuff and they do. IMO completely unwarranted.

Lol well same can be said for almost every other post on this forum with people wanting nerfs on everything

#11

Well I did put lol you know laugh out loud and also that they are just favoring. The way I put it was if they aren’t being sexist they are just favoring other characters. I could have taken out the second is in the title.

Raths ult is manageable. I played a match yesterday where he kept getting owned by a Montana that would lumberjack him out of his ult, manifestation him into the air,a and destroy him. I played as marquis in a match and beat a rath due to the slow bubble letting me escape the ult. survive or evade the ult and he becomes a lot weaker. No need required.

When using Ambra I take her mutation that slams the ground. Solves the rath problem.

Throwing around obviously false claims of ‘sexism’ in passing causes people to become desensitized to the word, ultimately allows for actual and common instances of the practice to be lumped together with anecdotal claims of the times where it was unwarranted.

You know what is sexist? Diminishing a cause that globally entails things as dramatic as mutilations, gendercides, and feoticdes to a joke about an EEO/Inclusion-Advocating company nerfing characters based off of their gender.

For the sheer sake of a dedication to free speech I am going to allow this absolutely bizarre thread to remain open for whatever period of time it takes some one to explain away a global issue affecting millions of lives and slandering hard working members of a professional community for nothing more than a cheap shock.

On the off chance that this is indeed a thread meant to troll, and you’re trying to mock overreactions to mild issues (like the outrageous kneejerk people had over Miss Moxxi). I hope you recognize belittling an actual cause by the lowest common denominator actually makes you a reflection of the same wrongdoing.

Just close this thread I’m not even going to bother anymore.

Thanks, and while we do usually listen to OP requests for thread closures. When it comes at the heels of an outrageous allegation, we do it slightly less so.

So we’ll be leaving it open for so long as we choose, so long as no rules are violated and the topic remains on course.

#23

Thanks yeah I understand it wasn’t going where I thought and people are only reading half of what I put but either way I don’t want to get it out of hand.

I assure you, as a moderator. I read what you said several times and thoroughly and made certain it couldn’t have been a typo.

You implied that Gearbox is either “choosing a favorite character” or “being sexist”, and giving both options equal weight while expressing that Rath had not received appropriate buffs and it was either because he was seen as a poster boy character, or because Gearbox a propensity to oppress women.

Creating a less harsh duality doesn’t amend an insult.

If I made a comment on a politician saying; “He’s either not saying the whole truth, or he may potentially be a serial hitchhiking-murderer” with no evidence to the latter and gave both options equal credit, I’d be getting some pretty angry phone calls.

You made an allegation on an EEO Game Developer of being a lesser part of a varying level scourge which effects over a billion women daily, and could end up costing them as much as life and limb.

So long as people choose to RESPECTFULLY and I stress respectfully disagree with you allegation, I will be leaving this thread open as I think they full understood what you said.
