evidence is on reddit: https://sw.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/4ovld9/so_i_just_played_a_1on1_for_glory_match_on/

Also, more than annoying than anything...if the connection fails in a FG match, it leaves FG and I have to select "With Anyone -> FG -> 1 on 1" all over again. Why not just spit me back to the FG screen?

I'll take a look. I was under the impression the context was the competitive/tournament Smash community, that that is the context I was speaking within. Any effort to extend my argument to the casual aspect of the game is a strawman. Because those injustices have long been removed and things...

What baseless claim did I make?

Evidence? Evidence? Evidence? Evidence? This thread isn't about the casual aspect of the game. Not really relevant. We're not talking about injustices here. No one is barring women from entering Smash tournaments. A cursory glance shows men and women, by and large, have retained the...

For all of human history, men and women have pretty much kept their same roles in society. Even up to today. A cursory glance at history seems to contradict your claim rather than support it.

In this context, feminism should be rejected as a contributor to decisions surrounding member acquisition into a community. If efforts like these were driven by feminist ideology, then you must understand what you're embracing. You're embracing the idea (either consciously or unconsciously) that...

And you know this how? Or what if women are just wired differently that their interests tend to lie elsewhere? Again, how do you know this? It's an extremely bold assertion that should be adopted only if the data indicates this is the case, not blind ideological assumption. Your Wii example...

That is not a flaw to my argument, since my argument was targeted against the seeming premise of the original post, which was purely numerical. It's only flawed if you make a strawman out of my argument and try to presume it was arguing against something it is not. Are things more nuanced than...

Or perhaps women, as a general population, aren't interested in video games? And the ones that are are just atypical. If that's the case, then energy spent trying to inject a demographic that is inherently uninterested into a community is fundamentally a bad investment. If the energy spent...

The wrong type of growth can destroy communities. It happens all the time.

Of course it means something, but in other areas of life where there's a push for "more women in X", people just assume thoughtlessly that that "something" is "bad". No time is spent justifying exactly why it's bad. Until that's justified, it's a fruitless effort, if not damaging. In my...

Whenever I see "We need more X in Y", I rarely see much time spent building a premise for exactly why we need more X in Y. This goes for anything; certain vocations, educational paths, and even gaming communities. And instead of spending time establishing a premise, people have knee-jerk...

My biggest gripe is the lack of features in training mode. It would be great if there was: An edge guarding option. Basically, if the CPU is on stage, have it automatically run to the closest edge, waiting for you to strike. From there, you can knock the CPU off stage and practice your edge...
