1. It is a porn site you tool. If you can't tell the difference between people trying too trick you and people trying to get you too pay them money
1. Sop exactly like some fake gamers then.
Matthewmagic said:
2. Yeah the more you tell me about this the less I believe you. First off since when are fighting games televised.
2. Since 2010 in the united states, a lot earlier in Korea & China. The fact that you didn't know this makes me really wonder about your other so called geek credentials. I know this & i'm neither American, nor have any interest in fighting games.
Matthewmagic said:
Secondly since when do television executives not screen their contestants.
3.When they are live... Or when its a contest.
Matthewmagic said:
Third, since when is anything that happens on television not scripted.
4.When there is some sort of sports event, or competition like a televised game tournament.
Matthewmagic said:
3. Yes, it is porn. and yes it does matter.
5.No it really doesn't. The existance of fake gamers has been demonstrably showcased now. You can no longer deny they exist. Further statements to the contrary are the equiviliant of a creationist making arguments for the grand canyon being created in 12 seconds during noahs flood.

4. Buddy I have bad news. This is where you get sexist. I was going to try avoiding using that word but you went there and now I'm calling you on it.
6. An that would be an appeal to motive. When all else fails & you run out of arguments, call the other person a sexist/racist so they'll stop arguing. Sorry mate, doesn't work with me. There was nothing sexist in that statement.

7. /facepalm. You really keep on missing that one important statement i keep on making: There is nothing wrong with being attractive, its only when one becomes a sexual commodity over being a consumer does it become an issue.
Matthewmagic said:
How do you know these people even exist have you spoken too someone who doesn't know their characters? Are you sure they where not hired? Or dragged along by their friends becuase they needed a pink power ranger?
8. Because as i've stated a half dozen times now, if someone is at a con in a costume & they don't know who they are cosplaying as because they've been dragged along, no one gets bent out of shape because they've been geek checked. Because the genuinely ignorant say "i have no idea." An at that point geeks generally stop caring. Its the people who pretend to have a knowledge set beyond what they actually have that piss people off.
Matthewmagic said:
I still don't believe this happens, if a girl shows up in cosplay just to be sexy and stand by a booth or something, I get that. That is what we adults call jobs.
9. No its what adults call a waste of resources.
Matthewmagic said:
But there are better places to seek sexual atention than cons,
10. Actually no. A con is a great hunting ground: Little in the way of competition until recently, full of cashed up beta-males (so rejection chances are lower & the ability to control any grabby males by proxy is astronomical); the false economy of the appearance of everyone wanting said trendies as a sexual commodity, increases the worth of possessing such a person both sexually & emotionally.
Essentially its a huge pay off, for very little in the way of expenditure. Also adding in the anonymous nature of hotel rooms for international conventions & it beats out the bar scene hands down.
Matthewmagic said:
and frankly it is egocentric of you too think that just because a girl is dressed in "slutty" cosplay (hint: most female cosplay is slutty, after all it was designed by men) she wants your attention.
Two things.
First, all cosplay is about attention. I've said this a couple of times now, but it really is true. Cosplayers do not to the gardening, washing up, or shopping while wearing those costumes, because there is no one around to appreciate them, to give them attention. Thats not a bad thing, but it becomes a bad thing when one moves from consumer themselves, to sexual commodity.
Secondly, the majority of costumes are actually hand designed by the women wearing them. So by definition not designed by men. An at this point i am again wondering about your actual gekk credentials, that you don't know this.

5. No at about age 23 you can recognize this shit for what it is.
No actually, most people don't. Age doesn't make you less of a target to confidence tricksters.

6. it is against the law to go naked. No one forces you to play games.
Way to toally miss the point mate. The point is that a passing awareness of a thing does not make geekdom.
