y'all gotta clarify if we can or can’t talk about Bob because deleting/locking threads isn’t actually solving anything
Bob the Builder, also known simply as Bob, is the title character and protagonist of the television show of the same name. He is a general contractor with his own construction yard in Bobsville, Sunflower Valley, Fixham Harbour, or Spring City depending on the series. In the original series Bob appears as a building contractor specializing in masonry in a stop motion animated programme with his colleague Wendy, various neighbours and friends, and their gang of anthropomorphised work-vehicles and equipment (all made of clay).
and what genders are considered marginalized?, I'll wait. I'm sure I'll wait a long time because they never specified it. I've personally looked. they want to keep it vague to not anger any other community who were let in and they weren't. so you asking for objective rules on this to protect your feelings while the scene itself is vague is just something to ponder over for the readers here.
To be fair, women have NOT been kept away from the esports scene and are not being held back from joining a T1 team/franchised team. There just isn't a woman currently at the same level as the guys out there for Valorant.
There was Geguri (woman) in the Overwatch League.
There was Remilia (trans woman) in the LCS.
There was VKLiooon (woman) in the Hearthstone pro scene.
I do think trans people (women in this scene) get hate due to transphobia, but I don't think that has kept women, trans women, and non binary people out of the T1 scene. Teams want the best of the best outside of the streamer teams.
I do (somewhat) agree with the society thing. My only issue is you have women who have been pros for a long time (bENITA - 7 years), meanwhile Zekken and others at 16 makes it pro in T1 scene. Her not being able to make it to T1 doesn't have to do with marginalization.
The only thing society held back was women playing games over the years, but not EVERY woman. The gender ratios in games are more male dominated to say the least, but that hasn't done anything to keep back the women who want to go pro from being able to reach T1.
ps. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with GC, but that there really isn't a good excuse someone from GC hasn't made it to the T1 scene/franchised team. I hope to see a woman/trans woman or male/non binary person eventually make it to a franchised team.
Valorant ranked playerbase ratio of men-to-women - 1:5 at worst.
Valorant radiant / immortal playerbase ratio of men-to-women who tryhard, grind the game many hours per day, and aspire to become pro - around 1:100, maybe even worse (for women).
The proof is right there. A lot of women play games, as you say - participate in video games. But just very few of them decide to push further. And it won't change anywhere in the future. Men are on average much more willing to work hard in video games. That can't be altered.
