I don’t think gender is very important on the internet. After all, if you want real equality on a message board then a lack of gender would be optimal.
She has a point, people are a little too easily dismissive of it imo. I recall speaking out against this in ESOC's early days and as a mod I had a zero tolerance policy because these things have a tendency to become the norm and it's not healthy.
If we aren't sure what Garja thinks of it all, and we can't be, maybe the best course of action is to respect him and stop treating him like a living meme.

This seems ironic but is actually a good thing to think

i agree. But i can only speak for people at the lan and everybody seemed to like him there. Altho Garja seems like a guy whos not that keen on voicing his opinion. For example if i was him i would have completly ignored diarouga at the lan,but he took a selfie with him, just shows what a nice guy he is.

Humans are very good at adapting and adapt all the time. It can be good and bad but if you adapt to fix a problem it's good right? It's called improvement/development/learning/experience and it's very important as long as the problem is not too strong to break you (why we protect small kids).

In regards to the lan, i don't think anyone had any real negativity towards anyone there, or at least that's the feeling i got.

I think the way anyone experiences life is through the lens of their particular, gendered experience of the world. There's a lot of research that shows men and women process things differently, both on an emotional and cognitive level. So trying to somehow separate gender from the way someone experience life is a bit misguided and unrealistic, I think. And it's not likely to really solve anything, since men and women will continue to display those differences in how they relate to the world.
I know where such a call is coming from, though. It's part of the current zeitgeist to focus on equality as a general theme in everything, from rights to economic issues. But if you think about it, about what makes people even interested in communicating or making economic transactions, it's actually differences that make things work. People seek to buy products that they can't make on their own and watch content that they couldn't produce themselves. Because they perceive that differences are interesting and are a useful resource.
By trying to obscure differences, we're trying to accredit the notion that it's equality that makes the world turn and that the current imbalances are just a temporary issue that needs to be streamlined.
No, by not focusing on differences people are trying to make it so that a little girl isnt raised to feel like shes a failure if shes not a mother and a homemaker

Why do you make these words sound like something extreme when it's just normal

I see you're brilliant at judging people on your own.
The term equality is interpreted variously nowadays. Some believe people should be given equal opportunities to compete, whereas the others might be of the opinion that equality should be forced into competition. I referred to the latter.
