    The point of me saying that it is sarcasm is that some people might misunderstand that what I am saying is my actual position rather than me making a point.
    Nah, you're comparing an attempt to create a space where gamer girls, a minority in a male-dominated world, can do voice chat without the assembled male audience losing it and trying to be witty/original/desirable. XIV is somewhat of an exception to that, but it's still the same thing in many scenarios. There might be people among them who had to deal with sexism, discrimination, harassment and the like, and just want a place where they don't have to deal with all that crap.

    This isn't the same as sexism at the workplace, or worse, racism. This is a chat for girls who want to be with other girls, and no guys.

    Apples and oranges. Let's keep our feet on the ground.

    They created a place away from sexism by being sexist. It totally makes sense if you think about it.

    Do you have some facts to prove this statement? pretty sure you're just pulling this thought out of your head, as last I actually read is that women aren't a minority in gaming anymore and it's not been that way for years, what you may be thinking of is that females don't tend to let them selves be known at random that they're a female (especially on games with comms) due to how an unfortunate set of males my act upon figuring that out, and the assumption is "male until proven female", now what may still be dominated is male games developers in where it's still not a nice split with male to female developers.
