Commander Jebidiah Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hey OP, you know why you don't see us? It's because people like you keep making threads like this.People keep making threads like this because after a few days people derail the thread and get it locked so we never get accurate results.And what's wrong with us making these threads? They don't harm you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 And what's wrong with us making these threads? They don't harm you.Yes they do. Because they're divisive and speculate on demographic value when really there's no need for 'accuracy' beyond being happy KSP is a game everyone can feel comfortable playing.- - - Updated - - -honestly, the amount of tribalism that comes from meaningless definition like "who plays this game" is completely unnecessary and only stands to pin stars on some players shirts and others not.

HospiceAntlers Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I am of the female population and I play KSP. Granted I can't play often because my computer is NOT meant for gaming so it doesn't run the best, but I play when I can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminded me of a classic XKCD comic, actually: It's amazing what a few seconds of revision can do. Not to mention what a few minutes of careful thought before putting a single word in the text input box can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 asking this question on a video game message board is like asking this question at the urinals. you're not sampling the most neutral demographic.I would hope the population that uses he urinals would be at least a bit more weighted to the male demographic... Not so friendly and inviting after all, are we KSP community?Actually this thread has (again) shown me how inviting and friendly the KSP community is. There are bad apples in every bunch, but the rest of us aren't letting them spoil US.- - - Updated - - - GET OUT OF MY HEADNo seriously I knew what that video was of before I clicked it.

Bill Phil Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Women and Men have their respective quirks. Men can be terrible, I know that because I am one. Women can be equally terrible people.It all depends on each person's respective experiences. That determines who you are, ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the mun! Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well I enjoy it and I identify as female well would that apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 And by interesting you mean completely and utterly expected....We've already had jokes about how gender identity is totally like claiming you're an air conditioner, we've had redacted posts questioning women's intelligence...and then we have the OP itself.Folks, KSP is supposed to be a welcoming community. Let's bloody act like it.Additional emphasis mine. Nicely said.Really, gender shouldn't matter at all. We're all here for the same reasons... we like KSP, and we like space/science stuff, and so on. That's what matters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw1 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I am hoping with the female Kerbal coming, and hopefully being used in the advertising, that the balance will improve. I for one, welcome our female brethren. Uh, sisteren?Hm, I always liked to use it instead of "you" in lots of cases in which I am specifically talking to someone but about a general fact.One would use one when talking about a general case, yep, it's just not as common. I quite like it too, t makes one sound educated and sophisticated if one uses it. But here in oz, it'SW best not to use it too much.We do have some gendered words, but generally only for people, or animals. We've already had jokes about how gender identity is totally like claiming you're an air conditioner, I thought they were more about the otherkin, a bizarre movement which sprang up in imitation of gender identity issues, where people actually do identify as fictional species, and airconditioners and what ever.Plus, in the context of this thread, it's a away to deliberately not identify.I mean no offence to anyone who identifies as something other then their gender assigned at birth, and hope most others here don't either.

Dizzle Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I thought they where more about the otherkin, a bizarre movement which sprang up in imitation of gender identity issues, where people actually do identify as fictional species, and airconditioners and what ever.Can't speak for the poster I replied to, but this is correct in the case of my post. I'm still a proud central air unit, though. Anyway, I really can't believe this thread has blown up this much. It seems like a simple enough question, don't see why it's such a hot topic, though the OP is kind of a mess.**the post, not necessarily the user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xacktar Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Offcourse there are no females here. For that matter, there are no males either.Personally, I'm a squid.Can I join team squid?It is a bit sad that demographics are the way they are. I hope that someday we can get it evened out. I'd encourage everyone (regardless of what dangles between your various appendages) to just treat gamers like gamers. We're all here to have fun, explode a few rockets, and strand Jeb on the Mun. Soon we'll be stranding Valentina up there too. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbin Dallas Multipass Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 KSP has an awesome community. Sure there are disagreements. And different people playing the game differently.But if anyone thinks this community is flawed because of a chromosome statistic... well, I cant help ya.

razark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Please, people.

From personal experience, I estimate the whole otherkin thing to be half and half.Now, let's see. Am I really an attack helicopter? I mean, am I really one?fwup fwup fwupNope, can't get airborne.Conclusion: I am out of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
