I mean its 2015 its not the 1990s or is portraying female playing avatars in this matter game tradition?
who are you, and what have you done with the original twilights? she revelled in that sort of thing and could never have gotten through that thought without a comment about how old all the other players are.

Personally, I think the whole problem here is that the guy in the video consistently says "why you have to be so roux"... I don't know why anyone would give permission when the potential son in law would call him a French sauce...

Tradition is tradition... same as the father walking the bride down the aisle....The preacher asks "who gives the woman to be married" ....

If you think that is sexist, just don't do choose to partake in that time honored tradition. Don't be a feminazi... gotta love it

The assumption that because we don't necessarily agree with your every 'pearl of wisdom' just means we don't agree, not that we have less manners or less morals - we are not lesser people because we don't choose to engage in endless boring debates about it. Every post you make is designed to route the conversation into you trying to claim some sort of moral or intellectual superiority over the rest of us. Please don't be so presumptuous, it's ill mannered of you and extremely tedious.


Now this was short and to the point. Now do you get the idea AJ?

killer did you ask her mother too or because she was a female didn't she count...its 2015...we don't twist the hens heads off any more...sexism is sexism no matter if its tradition or not and no matter if its past present or future and this whole forum topic is a joke because it has nothing to do with the game

Its just a game..
If someone just wrote an igm to me with just a bunch of curses, I'd probably respond with a lol. That's probably not for everyone though...

P.S I didn't really read anything you wrote except for the name of the topic; is that considered rude?

My wife made it clear that part of the process of getting married was asking her father for his "permission".  It was, perhaps, a foregone conclusion what the answer would be but for her and her father and I it was a nice tradition, considered politeness on my behalf and a part of our bond.

So, Twi and Rill, have a quick thought before you start labeling something so negatively based on your own jaded viewpoint.
