    We Dub Winners

    First I would like to say congrats to the winner and the runners up but to the Na team that is not devs since it wasn't done by Japan... Isn't it a bit onesided that you did not chose one woman as a winner or even as a runner up? I mean really and all of them were deep voiced. I hate to say this and I know it most likely wasn't done purposely but that seems a bit sexist.

    What's more sexist; not having a woman in the list of winners, or shoehorning one in just to have one on the list?

    Even the suggestion of the notion makes me disgusted.

    Should we go through and make sure we had the world's races equally represented too? Oh, and religions too, of course. Wouldn't want to seem anti-Semitic or Anti-Islamic because all the winners may be Catholics.

    It was a fun little contest that i hope they do more of in the future. Don't ruin it.

    It would be sexist if women weren't allowed to enter, not winning implies a lack of talent

    Now that's not true. You can be sexist and allow women to enter, all to maintain the illusion of propriety. Just with the intention of never allowing them to win. It's not overt sexism.

    Not that that's what I think happened here, mind you.

    So you're saying that it was right that they only picked deep voiced men and one trying to sound like Gandalf as the winner? hmmm I agree it was a fun contest but with the winners all like that it is a bit one sided and can be seen as sexist. Like I said congrats to them but to Se Na wth?

    It can only be seen as sexist if you're the kind of person who looks for that wherever you can find it.

    Consider the fact that the vast majority of gamers are men (this isn't sexisim, it's a fact) and consider the number of entries, there were probably at most like 5-10 entries with a female voice, so the odds assuming similar quality of all submissions that the females' entries would be chosen is quite small.

    I'm sure if there was a good female voice entry they would have chosen it, because it could totally be done.

    I find the accusations of sexism more appalling than the actual sexism would have been if they were truly committing it.

    They picked the best.
    Maybe all the women entries were worse than the ones listed?
