I think the demoscene is probably one of, if not THE most male-only nerd-hobbies out there. Unfortunately.

Jesus.

Also, who the put me down as an assembly organizer? :(

There should have been a swear word in the last post, but I guess the random Jesus erased it..

I heard the CCC had a lower male:female ratio than tUM, which was taking place at the same time. Just so you know. :P

as a Warhammer 40k Tabletop player I can safely say, that the demoscene is not the most malecentric hobby out there :)

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Demoscene says one of the demoscene specific terms is "mystery zone". I seriously have no idea what that is, and I'm not sure if I want to find out.

The same goes for "boobietracker".

Random Jezus, bringing decency back to Pouet!

Gargaj I think the mystery zone refers to the few individuals, whose genders are uncertain, creating a certain air of sexual mystery around them. Do I ask them what group they are in and whether they like superbowl, thus presuming they are male? Do I grab their ass? It COULD be a man, and thus not be something for me... on the other hand, I might gain some kind of first-mover advantage if it really IS a female. Mystery abounds in the demoscene!

@Gargaj I think I got that from someone mentioning it on the demo-ish words thread

The term mystery zone refers to a zone in the breakpoint party area hall - it's said that in this zone mysterious things happened.

mysterious indeed!

Keeping women out is, among other things, a sanity measure.

Today's women have a tendency to ruin things and make everything unpleasant.

Until some actually suitable (=peaceful) female candidates appear on our doorstep and beg that we let them in, I say...: Let's just keep them bitches out and continue enjoying ourselves.

Keeping idiots out should get some more priority in the next time I guess…

The "mystery zone" was Breakpoint's grandstand where for very, very mysterious reasons organizers just weren't able to see or smell cigarettes. Extremely mysterious.

Not even their own?

Not even their own. You can imagine that made life somewhat complicated for the smokers among the orgas :)

Very mysterious. Did you call Aiman Abdulla to clear the case?

It's misspelled and it's actually "Mystery 'zone" which was a calzone pizza you could order at Breakpoint that had random ingredients and you'd never know what you'd get!

Also, fuck this thread.

I think cros is on his rags.

On Revision 2011 visitors list, I instantly recognize names at least 14 female sceners!

Also, since when has having boobs given you anything else than trouble in the demoscene?

i have boobs and that's been no issues.
