When did FFXIV become a hang-out spot for liberals? There's a reason why Reddit exists.

You're on the internet and you're not liberal?

I don't hate my own Roegadyn race, so no, I'm not.

I'm seriously disappointed. I imagined they would at least pick up male and female runner-ups aside from the winner.
This is very like SE though. Ever the paragon of political correctness.

You should be disappointed in your thought process.

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.

The contest was to pick the best, not the most unique. That'd be like pick a guy who ran a race backwards as a runner-up, even though he came in last place because it was a unique way of running.

[Niqote]

I hardly think it is sexist.
The best were picked due to a criteria, and besides ... if this forum is anything to go by, the number of female entries would have been drastically lower then that of the male entries; therefore it was an increased likelihood that there would be all male finalists anyway.
