Women don't make games. ::)

Disclaimer: there are one or two FBI agents pretending to be women here, but they don't count.

:o you wanna bet, My best mate is a female coder. You can't be sexest over who can and who can't. It's a matter of learning it.

Pics or she do not exist. ;D

Yea a picture will really make her exist. Pictures can be fake so I can't prove to you that there are female coders without going behind her back so instead I will point out a list of female coders instead.

Sordie - http://sordie.com/ (Makes EO stuff in C++)
Rachel J Morris - http://www.moosader.com/ (Makes games using Allegro and Applications in C++)

Now tell me that a female cannot program. My ex could at least make websites.

I said they "don't make games."

Congratulations on linking to two FBI agents. ::)

Rachel makes games, I just pointed that out.

Edit, I speak to Sordie on IRC now and again and used to have her on facebook. She's not an FBI agent so grow up and face the fact that you are a sexist pig with no female friends at all.

Edit 2, If you wanna carry on arguing that there are no female game programmers out there please take it to another thread as this is way off topic and it's not fair on Dario.

And I speak to Elvis on Skype now and then. You have failed to disprove that they are both clearly FBI agents. :o

Don't worry about it, ML's just teasing you, and I hope you're not taking it seriously. Heck, even one of the moderators here is a woman, though not really active AFAIK.

And Matthew, you've failed at the rules of the internet. Men are Men, Women are men, and children are FBI Agents. :P

Sorry but I do take offence to it due to having a mate that is female and makes games She uses OpenGL tho :( She keeps telling me to look it up on NeHe's site? I don't know the moderators on here so would'nt know there was a female one. I know there is plenty of female coders on the net but because of people doubting them all the time they choose to show as a male instead. They should just be open about it and the world would see that there are millions of them ready to put quite a few males to shame.

Yea I'm bad at coding but it's always a learning curve.

Ohh, Yea the joke is definatly Male = Male, Female = Male and kids = FBI agents :) I always loved that saying as it's not being sexist it is mostly true.

What is it around here today with people not being able to take a joke?

They're all new, and statistics tells us that we'll get a stream of serious types occasionally, think of the sudden silence that befalls a party now and then.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

No joke should be like that ever it's still sexist either way. It's like saying to a Jamacian "Sub Blood" when you are white, they will more likly attack you over it.

No I wasn't being rasist, was simply using it as an example. If I was a female and read that I would have took offence to it. I'm easy to offend and since this is a public forum where anyone can be here then it's not really acceptable.

Well, new people certainly don't take too kindly jokes as we do because of the unfamiliarity[1]. We should also introduce them to the arts of a.cc thread derailing. ;)

Most forums have rules of trollish behaivour but like hell can I see the rules. I cant even find a link. Dont tell me where it is in this thread tho as I have started one for it.

Sexism: The belief that people of one sex or gender are inherently superior to people of the other sex or gender

The fact that it was a joke removes the belief, so no, it's not sexism. And you can't claim the 'but it's only offensive to females' line either, since it's clearly offensive to you.

This is not a public forum. Matthew wrote the software and pays for the hosting. He can say whatever he damn well pleases.

Before you reach such illogical conclusions, perhaps you should learn about the difference between a) not wanting to do something and b) not being able to do something.

But don't worry. Your personal attacks against me are easily deflected by my "over 9000" thick skin level. 8-)

Seriously Desmond, don't get too riled up because of this. Women jokes have been on this site for years, it's kind of an inside joke, to pretend that they don't exist.

Women don't program, not because they're not smart enough, but because they might break a nail.

So saying "Women don't make games. :)" was no value to this conversation at all. (Break your own rules and be sure that others will follow knowing that you can't really tell them off for it as you do it yourself)

and we are now all breaking the last part of that by carrying on with this argumen so I'm stopping right now and going to get back normal chit chat and leaving this thread to Dario ff as it's 100% off topic and that should really be a rule in my opinion. That doesnt mean you have to add it was just an opinion.

You kidding me? I got an awesome idea for map design above thanks to this. It's bound to provoke some smiles for the people that play that level. :)

I can dredge up some old posts that "stir up trouble" if you want to see some examples. I'll be away to the convenience store for the next 20 minutes though.

I see you also decided to ignore the bit about writing in good English. I'd expect someone from England to know how the language works.

edit:

You left the IRC channel before I got to say 'you're welcome.'

I've only had 5 hours sleep, and it is now 1:10am. I can't be bothered to read my punctuation and edit everything I wrote, like I did with this post. You must have been able to read it in order to quote me :)

P.S, I wasn't arguing. I was simply replying to that quote as I think it was funny.
