syfyguy64 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I need Girbilism because I need to respect a female alien being a kerbonaut, inspiring young girbals to study science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxczxczbfg Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm ambivalent. It's not strictly necessary (and it also means that there needs to be at least two other new Orange Suits, since my OCD will kill me if there aren't), but it's a nice detail.

Valley Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I don't really care much about gender in a sandbox game. Like Dwarf Fortress - whoever can do the job gets the job. Female warriors with babies? Babies make good shields.Female Kerbal? If I need an Engineer and she is an Engineer, then she is the person for the job.Now, if I am role playing in Skyrim or Fallout, the gender of my character may interested me...for about five seconds.

r4pt0r Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Now, if I am role playing in Skyrim or Fallout, the gender of my character may interested me...for about five seconds.I usually play females for the eyecandy, especially with Skyrim's killcams.The Female kerbal design doesnt really lend itself to that though.Wasnt there a kerbal fan comic that had some attractive femkerbs?

dryer_lint Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Kerbals are still asexual. The female Kerbals are simply... Kerbals with round heads? It's genetic but not gender-linked, I guess?I refuse to give up my viewpoint! Mwuahahahaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I see what you are going for with this thread, but I don't really like the whole "girlbals" or "girbals" thing. I'm a big fan of adding Valentina and other female Kerbals, but I think it becomes a little weird when we start referring to them that way. If female Kerbals are "girbals," then what do we call the male Kerbals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupcake... Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 When I saw the title, I thought you meant this: I thought perhaps there was a gerbil space program I hadn't heard of. Cupcake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbacusWizard Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 They're kerbals. Some of them are male and some of them are female. That's it. We call them kerbals because they are from Kerbin. (Yes, I know the word "kerbal" was invented before the planet was named. I'm being Watsonian here.)Why are female kerbals necessary? Because of the horrible hidden message in the game if there aren't any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigyihsuan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wasnt there a kerbal fan comic that had some attractive femkerbs?i thought we agreed to never speak of that ever again /sOn topic: I really don't mind girlbals. Just another Kerbal to launch into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
