To say FSD is pretty masculine has nothing to due with FSD targetting males only (which isn't) but more due to the majority of male gamers.I would have to disagree; while I can't speak for the entire DOA community, FSD has a pretty masculine, no-nonsense vibe. I made a thread awhile back about a romantic pairing, and the general reaction was pretty derisive. The most "positive" response was something like "This is technically allowed, but...WTF are you doing?"
Ah, to be a fangirl.
We are having an All Female Tournament.... Check the link.... then goto Events....
Males are wlecome to watch the tournament... which will be streamed.... It is This Sunday @ 4.... Details on Page......
P.S. We do not exclude any Gender.... And keep off Sexiest topics to your self.... And thanks for the likes
We do not exclude.. any gender... We also have practice sessions where males come in and teach the girls Basic Strats to the game... This is for Girls who dont want to be played with just because they are girls....... you are excluding males. Male is a gender.

and this is the contradiction Rikuto was pointing out.P.S. We do not exclude any Gender....

As much as males can sit and spectate alongside with females, having them not participate in the tournament with females does not hide the fact that it is by definition exclusion.
If Vanesa, Kayane as well as well as any other female player can compete in tournaments along-side with men, I don't see why you shouldn't either. But I guess if females were to participate in all female tournaments then I guess men should have their own just like how we see this in sports, but this isn't sports this is e-sports.
Meh I'm not sure this poor girl is trying to "steal" opportunities from other people She had a good initiative, but I guess I would be offended if I saw a men-only tournament...
I hope you understand where my main problem with this stems. I have no issue with females trying to build up their confidence, although this seems like trying to teach people how to backstroke in the shallow end of the pool. The whole concept behind it is entirely flawed if you ask me.
The main problem is it starts with one group of females of who are too shy/insecure/whatever to play with the core community. They let their confidence build in private, and their numbers grow. Then they start to advertise themselves an organized, competent and legitimate competitive body even though they are not one. Then they start getting invited places that legitimate players are supposed to be getting invited to, and taking opportunities that do not belong to them.
At that stage, they are being treated differently simply because they are female. They can be complete trash at the game, but they are in reality being treated better than superior players around them. They are taking important opportunities from other players they have no business being associated with. They are stealing.
I believe you may have heard of CGS before? A debacle created almost entirely of this kind of political nonsense.
Either way, I don't have any particular problem with what you are doing currently, but I have a major major problem with what it inevitably leads to when given any measure of success. If you don't let it go that route, I'll have no problems with you.
the sad thing is... this is the only place that has given this page issues everybody else shows support and likes it.... Good Job Doa Community
You didn't pick a great community to start a female-only movement. Not because we dislike females, but because of the previous bad experiences we've had with them taking advantage of the community before.
What happened in the WCG/CGS era was an abomination that no one wants to go back to... except, of course, some of the females who took advantage of it.
This is admittedly a knee-jerk reaction but, frankly, pretty damn justified.

Agreed... Sounds like you have some hate stored up for..... people who have no idea what your talking aboutCare to explain what happened in the "WCG/CGS era"?

yes there is, and a separate place to meet just for women is not really needed imo, regardless if you are male or female we are all here for DOAI wouldn't say this is anything remotely resembling a male dominated community. If we start throwing casuals + other DOA sites like DOAW into the mix, its basically dead even.
If we were talking about the core FGC spread across all fighting games then yes, you would be largely correct.
Since DOA 5 launched I've added about 10 females to my XBL friends list and two to my PSN. Not because I was trying to, the requests just come in. There's a ton of women who play the game.
For the first season of the league there was six franchises from six different major cities throughout Region 1 (the U.S. and Canada) plus a total of ten more franchises from the other Global Regions around the world. Each franchise consists of a total of ten players: five Counter-Strike:Source players, two Dead or Alive 4 players (one male and one female), one FIFA 07 player, and two Project Gotham Racing 3 players.
