What do you think of NS's mainly male population?

[Harkonna]

Well you come across like you're covered in foetid pile of dead skinks. So you should probably work on that. Right now.

That's probably flaming, but I'm too lazy to report it. Might want to take that back b4 someone else does.

What, insinuating (blatantly stating) that someone can't read isn't flaming? Come on, what's a pile of dead skinks among slightly obtuse, diametrically opposed, uh ... Pals.

[Dakini]

Oh, your subtle snide remarks are truly awe inspiring.

On a scale of one to awe, they're pretty awe, I must say. Subtlety is my strong suit, after all.

Ah, see, there's some snark. At your own expense, even.

[Luveria]

Do you expect them to prove it to you by showing you their little bits? Sex and gender are different things so even if you had photographic visual evidence it wouldn't indicate anything.

No need to get all weird and defensive. It's a simple process, really. When a user says whether they are male or female or whatever else then I'll address them as such with the appropriate pronoun.

I wasn't serious. Just challenging the statement.

I'd like more womenz here. D:

Well, who wouldn't?

As long as they have peeners...

Ps dont tell me you ARE a "Nice dirty Girl/Tomboy" because if you do THEN I WILL KNOW that you are a 55yr old trucker pedophile, or some other Emo-Hipster-Tranny!

And if someone said they were "a 55yr old trucker pedophile"? Would you then believe they're a "Nice dirty Girl/Tomboy"?

For you all know that 55yr old trucker pedophile could be a woman.

Ps dont tell me you ARE a "Nice dirty Girl/Tomboy" because if you do THEN I WILL KNOW that you are a 55yr old trucker pedophile, or some other Emo-Hipster-Tranny!

That certainly caught my interest. Minus the hipster part but I really like emos so that outweighs it.

By trans people do you mean only MtFs since you mention more females?

Well, FtMs would count as male, wouldn't they? Thus adding to the "mainly male population".

Trans doesn't specify the gender unless one makes the assumption they are MtF.

I really couldn't care less about gender in general. People turn it into a bloody standard to wave everywhere, like it makes them ultra-special kawaii desu, when it's really pretty low on the list of relevant issues today. You got nuts? You got tits? Good for you. I don't give a shit, as long as you're a decent person.

That's a policy I can approve of.

What can I say, I'm an equal opportunity snark-er-er.

Technically I said that you needed to work on your snark because the utter failure of your snark to come across as snark meant that you looked like you didn't understand the words that were on the page.

I mean, if it was a failure to snark and a success at reading then that's totally different from a failure to do either.

We've only got a couple of those here, though.

I didn't read the original quoted post so closely.

And in case it's been in any way unclear from my previous posting history in NSG, I'm biologically female and have female genitalia. When it comes to my gender, that's for to me to know and you to wonder about.

Only a couple that want to open themselves to harassment by admitting it, in any case.

[Mediobogdum]

Even if there were more females on NS and would greatly support this, I don't suppose that the still numerically greater number of dominant male voices would take much notice, as it is their nature to not do so. The real question is how to encourage a greater variety of players? Common all you marketing guys and gals out there!

That's four on the snark scale in that post. Still doesn't compare to my glorious score of many snark. Keep it coming.

What harassment?

[Araraukar]

Eww, don't market NationStates anywhere. We get enough trolling kids during the major school holidays. I shudder to think of that number being doubled or tripled by "wut is a nation?" teen idiots.

(Please note I specify teen idiots. Most teens that stay here beyond the initial period of being a newbie, are anything but idiots.)

I would like to introduce a new word: "snarcasm". Can I?

You've been given Confederate clearance to do so.

Mmh, if you openly belong into a "curious minority" and have not encountered any harassment in NationStates yet, what can I say, "Congratulations for being incredibly lucky"?

You just did it. No need to request permission for something you've already done without it.

Quiet you. He has to get permission from uh. Uh. Shareholders. Yeah.

You know, the mods kind of punish people for that sort of thing, so it has nothing to do with luck.

My shareholders are the non-male population of NS.

I'm one of those. Aw man, I own a share in BlaatCorp. Excellent.

Yes, mods punish them. After the fact.

Im fine with having it
