Should twitch streamers be calling themselves "athletes"?

Cope incel

Actual lesbians massively support transwomen and shit on TERs.

In b4 accusations of transgenderism - I'm cis

No. Even if you consider competitive games to be a sport, they aren't an athletic sport.

This. Gaming and shit like chess isn't sports. Stop trying to be some e-jocks!

Vidya is not a sport so no they shouldn't.

Fucking poker is considered and sport and then there's golf. The term "athlete" lost its meaning already.

shut the fuck up TERF

Anything that is competitive and pursues pushing the boundaries of human abilities, let it be physical strength or reaction speed, is sports.

if you're serious every sport has an organization with procedurally tailored rules for their competition
the transdebate puts a new spin on it, maybe in the future we'll only have x bone density against x bone density as we have weight divisions now

I'm pretty sure twitch streamers(or anyone) can call themselves whatever they want in the year 2020.

Probably not, but it makes boomers seethe so I'm all for it.

Arguing linguistics is always fucking retarded. At any rate, everyone can clearly see somebody who plays videogames is fundamentally different then somebody who plays a physical sport. If it makes sense for the term athlete to be applied to videogamers then its the term people will use. If it doesn't then it won't. You don't have to argue about it becasue you aren't achieving anything.

I feel so bad for the actual women.

>Its "Radical" to say that men bioligical males should compete against their biological peers.

That is not what radical means.

>can't win as a man
>be a woman

NO SHUT UP
I'm a cute anime girl stop applying logic to me!

>Arguing linguistics is always fucking retarded.
Yas Forums is dominated by Yas Forumstards who think that transgenders are deluded because they think they're "the other gender".
It's irrational to expect mongs like this to understand the concept of "depends on the definition", because to them, the definition is set in stone to mean what they want it to mean.

Athlete literally refers to someone being "athletic," and being athletic is literally a state of being physically active/strong. This isn't even a matter of semantics, sitting at your desk does not make you an athlete whether you partake in a professional competitive league or not.

>transgenders are deluded because they think they're "the other gender".
i don't see what's wrong with that. that is what trannies are

If dart players are allowed to call themselves athletes then so should streamers

sure let me see your arms move as precise and quickly as some of the top gamers do
funny lookin frog

I swear in twenty years execs are gonna just accept that this is the new normal and go full diversity by letting "women" compete in the majors and turning the female leagues into glorified minor leagues instead
wonder what this would do to actual minor leagues though

Well the issue with what you're saying is transgendered people are fighting for trans rights, what this means is they ARE arguing to people that the definition should be changed because otherwise nobody would change their definition of gender naturally. Its just like what I said regarding whether the definition makes sense or not; if the movement for trans rights is still a thing 5+ years from now, I'd say that's definitive proof it doesn't make sense. If the definition did apply then you wouldn't have to argue it.

Nah if we have esports then they should be called "ethletes"

That's because you don't understand the meanings of words "deluded" and "gender" other than the ones that support your moronic worldview.
Low IQs like you have no concept of "defining a word", to you a word is objective.

>moving one appendage proficiently is the same as being physically active to the level of the standard athlete
stop posting if your b8's going to be that weak

Let's be honest, trannies are their fight. We, men, don't personally lose anything from some idiots wrecking women in sports and invading them in the locker rooms.

Wow another twitter screencap thread, now this is the content I come to Yas Forums for.

I could have sex tomorrow and no longer be an Incel.
You are going to be a disgusting frankenstein for the rest of your (short) life.

No.
that's like trannies calling themselves women

if it triggers cucks then hell yea

>6'2"
>220lbs
>"""""""""""'woman"""""""""""

Of course not. They know it too. The only reason they do that is because they're self conscious about calling themselves "professional gamers". It's sounds way better to be called an athlete, even if it isn't correct. Better social standing with the girls who visits their insta/twitter.

Same thing applies to streamers who call donations "tips".

>Chad turns himself into a tranny

What the fuck

if this the case you fags should be calling yourselves mental gymnastic athletes

Literally who. Did Jake Paul change his name? Or the other Paul brother.

What's the upper weight limit on a woman?
150 lbs or less?

>6'2"
>220lbs
>woman
God if only

You can be that if you want, but if you step into the octagon I expect o to be competing against other anime girls (men).

Most of them are.
You can easily see it by posting this pic in a random thread and see them do hardcore mental gymnastics.

i'd say the upper limit before organs start shutting down is a half ton. They aren't athletes though.

No athletes do athletic things while playing a sport.
Video games, poker, magic the gathering are games. Anyone can play a game because it doesn’t require athletics ability.

Its like that episode of futurama where bender turns himself into a woman to win the robolympics

Why don't vegans stop all the omnivore animals from eating meat too?
