how is that "constructive criticism"?

reply

[–] sslssg (28598) a month ago

I would just ask why you would think it's a compliment to say that the photo made her look masculine. I mean....???? I just don't understand how that is constructive criticism. If it's a photo she posted of herself on her IG or something then maybe I could understand the constructive part of it? She didn't pick the pictures that were posted of her, so are you criticising Fox here? Because it seems that you are insulting her appearance.

Now I'm sure you care going to call me sensitive or what ever, but it just seems like when calling a woman masculine looking, it's a bit of an insult, especially in this time with trans issues being in the forefront of societal issues, and when commenting on a foxnews story. So what did you think was going to happen?

One can't help but to think and feel that way for making such an innocent comment that some famous female basketball player looked masculine in some of her photos on FOX and you would've thought I ran over this woman's dog for Christ sake?? Sorry, but I'm standing firm on this and believe we live in a very pussified society where this new generation are simply weak

Did anyone throw their phone across the room because of your comments. There was a lot of chatter about what a dick Cowell was all those years ago. You said what you wanted to say, and people didn't like it.

Tell me....did you mean masculine in a positive way? Or did you imply that she was ugly because of it? I'm not saying that you said she was ugly, but calling a woman masculine doesn't usually come with positive connotations.

So....you pretty much insulted someone's looks, and people downvoted you. So?

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

She’s a great player, but she’s not attractive. This is a major problem that WNBA has. It’s a bunch of masculine and lesbian looking women. Which would be fine if those type of women also supported women’s sports, but they don’t. It’s mostly middle aged men. This league really needs an Anna Kournakova. The baseball league in a league of their own has the right idea.

This is also why I don’t like upvote/downvote systems. It’s just a way for people to silence opinions that they don’t like. I guarantee this comment would get down voted for misogyny, even though it’s true and everyone knows it.

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

The WNBA is being supported almost exclusively by men. It’s a failed business that loses 10-12 million per year and gets carried financially
By the NBA. The fans that do support it are mostly men. So if men are your target audience, they need more attractive women something the league severely lacks. Now if women wanted to step up and support the league, that would be ideal, but clearly they don’t give a fuck.

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

I didn’t say anything about porn. But you can look at successful women’s sports, such as the UFC, or women’s Tennis, and there are plenty of attractive women in there. It’s brings eyes to the tv, and it’s makes them more marketable, which is another problem the WNBA has. They all complain about their salaries, but none of those women have any value.

And yes downvoting a comment is a way to suppress expression. It’s just a way to bury any comments that they don’t like.

reply

[–] Skavau (9884) a month ago

The attractiveness of them is incidental. Their regimen is focused on training. Are you saying that capable female sportswomen, if they're considered unattractive should be blacklisted from tournaments?

>And yes downvoting a comment is a way to suppress expression. It’s just a way to bury any comments that they don’t like.

By the government? People do it on private websites. That's a part of freedom of expression too.

reply

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

No I’m not saying that, because I didn’t say it. Sports are merit based, as they should be. Kaitlyn Clark was the first pick, and she deserved it. She’s been the best player in college for the last 2 years. But it would help out if they face of the league was attractive and likeable. You can’t have a successful league when players are constantly showing disdain to anyone that supports them. That goes beyond looks obviously, but the WNBA has a huge problem with their image, and they are a failing business.

I don’t care who is limiting the freedom of expression, i don’t like opinion based modding. In this case it’s Fox News. The majority of the time they are going to be downvoting liberal opinions. I’m not ok with that just because we don’t agree.

reply

[–] Skavau (9884) a month ago

Not being attractive to men is "showing disdain" to people who support them?

It seems like you essentially reject the right of private groups to exist, and establish their own terms of service for engagement.

reply

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

No, but attacking Andre igodala when he tweeted about the WNBA is showing disdain. Attacking Luca Doncic from an official team Twitter after he did a WNBA promotion for them is showing disdain. Watch any of their reactions to nba players when they suggest lowering the rim. The WNBA has an image problem that goes beyond just looks.

I reject the notion of opinion based moderation in order to control the narrative. Yes there should be tos based on being civil, and respectful. It doesn’t matter who is doing the censorship, or whether I agree with it or not, I don’t like it.

You can like or not like whatever you like. But it seems to me a private individual or company who makes a forum has every right to run that forum how they like. And if you dislike it, you can use another forum.

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

I don’t post there, nor would I because of that system. But TC asked for our opinions here about it, so I gave it. In a site like that, you can simply downvote anything that you don’t like.

On a site like this you have to actually put together a coherent argument, and debate someone on their opinion.

I’ll take someone on in a debate, I respect that. But I don’t respect ganging up on people and mass downvoting them like a coward. It’s the equivalent of trying to get the mods to delete opinions that you don’t like so you don’t have to try and debate them.

This is just a really stupid take. The movie industry casts attractive people, so are all movies porn? Obviously Anna Kendrick doesn’t need to do porn in order for you to simp over her, she just needs to show her pretty face on screen. Now Imagine Anna Kendrick as WNBA player. You wouldn't be more inclined to go to games, if she was playing?

That is where we disagree, I think looks can have value in a star player, and the WNBA is lacking in that area.

What a laughable comparison. Anna Kendrick is obviously going to be hopeless at basketball. Are you suggesting though that if she wanted to, she should be signed up by a major team just because she's attractive?

And by the way the appearance of characters in movies/tv has NOTHING to do with why I watch things.

reply

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

You are being disingenuous. I was using her as an example because Kowalski slobbers all over her. Obviously her face being on screen is enough for him watch, and it that doesn’t make the movie porn. So it’s a really dumb take to say a few attractive women playing basketball would make it porn. Her Basketball ability is irrelevant to the discussion.

reply

[–] Skavau (9884) a month ago

General question, if a highly attractive woman decided she wanted to play basketball - should a professional team sign her up purely because of her appearance?

reply

[–] WandererFromYs (1732) a month ago

No, I’m not suggesting that they should turn it into the lingerie football league. Merit has to come first. But when you compare basketball to other more successful women’s sports. Such as Tennis, mma, volleyball, swimming, figure skating, the sport overall lacks attractive feminine women compare those sports.

I know that no one wants to hear this because of misogyny, but it is an issue because no one is watching. You can dismiss men, and say you don’t want to appeal to them, but women aren’t supporting the league either.

Back to the topic.
I'm certainly no angel and when I say that watching handball is nice, cause the handballers look better than the average footballers, it's no surprise that some people will tell me that neither handball nor football is about good looks.

So, the OP is a whiner and if he/she is so concerned about likes/dislikes, then next time just say that woman looks virile. That's less harsh and many don't understand what that means anyhow. 😉
