We need men in the bottom lane (EQUALITY BABY)

Get Sett On··4 votes·1,151 views

Me and the boys want a man duo to feel manlier bottom lane since I am nearly a Disney Princess with all the pretty and cute females, not to mention a talking cat on a fairy tale book. Muscle bound burly dudes just punching their way to victory bottom lane. I mean like another duo for the BROS.

I think screaming and manly grunts are needed in the bottom lane. Like my hair grows when I see them in champ select and I get a beard. I have been playing this game and in its history I still have no chest hair and I cannot grow a beard. I want to flex, eat protein powder and drink (definitely not alcoholic) Graggy Ice with my bros maybe even have a paired BRO recall where they give bro slaps and compliment each other's looks. I just want another pair in the bottom lane

Either that or give me a bro skins for Taric and Ezreal where they do MANLY stuff like braid each other's hair and spot each other doing bench presses and practice wrestling to prove they have testosterone and are NOT A COUPLE.

Curious at the inclusion of Bard, blitz, and velk in that list.

Also, does ezreal really count?

The result of that we're often culturally conditioned to design agendered characters in the general image of male or to treat them as one.

Yes, he does. There is no reason to not count a man as they are.

But there is reason to count as a man when they are not? Curious. Very curious.

Ezreal is a man, probably more manly than most people ever will be anyway. Not sure why people shit on Ezreal so much. It's counterproductive and ultimately not really funny after the first time you've heard it.

I wasnt talking about ezreal...

Im asking you to defend the identification as a man the robot, the void monster, and whatever bard is.

About the others, as I've said, we're just often culturally conditioned to type anything that doesn't silently scream at us or outright state themselves as "female" to be automatically classed as "male", and that includes even things and entities that is implied or stated to have no gender. And if it's something we have no idea about, like Cho'gath or Vel'koz, we automatically class them as male until stated otherwise (such as Rek'Sai). It's more of a problem of the culture itself that we're raised in.

It doesn't just apply to identification, too, but also the design process as well. Hence why despite knowing Blitz and Bard aren't supposed to have genders for instance, their designers made them with certain elements such as body shape and proportion that would be typically associated with masculinity (long arm and large hands are usually associated with men, see Blitz; or portly figure and beard are also usually associated with men, see Bard).

You're speaking for a lot of people.

Personally, I use the word "it" for things like robots. Blitz and velk may have male sounding voices , but that excuse doesn't exist for bard.

You should probably just remove those 3 champs that you're calling male even though they arent instead of trying to bs some justification.

I wasn't calling them male. I was explaining why many people may subconsciously use masculine pronouns when referring to agendered or monster (of unknown gender) characters, as well as why we also seem to have the tendency to design them with masculine frames and design rationale in mind too (on the flip side of the same discussion, robots are usually perceived as "male" until we get to something like subservient AI like Siri which are primarily designed and perceived with feminine frames in anther cultural bag of worms).

And personally, I often use terms like "they". It's a catch-all term that can be used refer to basically anyone regardless of their numbers and gender and anything. I usually only use "it" to refer to things like inanimate objects.

By putting them in a list of males, you've called them male.

Remember when Graves was literally created because fans wanted a "manly" marksman, at the time when all marksmen were women?

Remember when Leona was similarly created entirely because fans asked for a female tank since there was little to no female tank at the time (only Poppy I think, and she was only played as an assassin because old Poppy's kit was not particularly well designed and encouraged assassin playstyle)?

Was there any big outcry about how asking for some equal representation was "SJW" or whatever? There was none. Everyone was happy that someone asked for male marksmen and female tanks, which were and are still rather lacking compared to their opposite sex counterpart.

Time's changed.

.......

But then again, I think OP (the post) was, putting this way, rather meh.
