Historically, in online games, there have been [i]plenty[/i] of discriminatory clans and organizations. The Dames are not the first (and they truly aren't discriminatory — hence why they have taken the time to ally with clans). What I fail to understand is why the online gaming community is upset about said clans now that women have decided to make their own. It was okay when the Dads of Destiny were exclusive. It was okay when Frag Dolls, Gamerchix, and other all-female teams were created during the days of Halo. It was okay when Call of Duty YouTube teams made male-only rosters and kept female teams on completely separate rosters [i]and[/i] channels. But [b]God forbid should a group of women want to do the same.[/b]

    How so? I'm just stating here that the Dames are not the only to discriminate, yet they're the ones that get picked on. Edit: Ah, I did contradict myself there by stating that the Dames are truly inclusive. But again, I am confused on that point. The Dames are both exclusive and inclusive if you look at the organization from an angle. Like past clans such as XGeN (personal experience I had) and PMS (public example), the Dames have a sort of allied roster structure. They have a female roster (the main clan) and a male/female roster (SafeGamers, the "ally" clan). Same with a lot of clans and organizations in the online gaming community. What I fail to see is why people are upset with the Dames, but not the other clans and organizations who have done the same thing for years. Where are the people that are angry about Frag Dolls?
