Talk:Regina Buenaobra

I almost made this page a few hours ago, since there wasn't one yet... but despite having a lot of information on her, and her photo and such, I wasn't sure if she'd be offended by someone making the page or not. I can provide some of the info I have, if we are sure it's polite to make the page before she gets a chance, but again, I waited because I wasn't sure on the matter.

 * ohai fellow paw print! [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 05:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello, mine is based off a purple paw print tattoo that I've had for years, and which is located on my lower regions. ;) [[Image:UserJKougar sig.gif|User:J.Kougar]]  J.Kougar  05:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol, grats? Also the new CRM's talkpage now has nether-region tattoo discussion, instant win! [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 05:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * lol, Maui = Funny! :D -- Shadowphoenix  05:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So, what does the paw print mean? Axelfunx 23:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * To me? It's just a symbol (and color) I've used online for many years to help define myself.  The tattoo was done a few years after I started using it online, because I had wanted to get it there (just above the hair line on the left side of my groin) as an accent mark, for a long time... which is part of the reason I originally used it online and such.  Other than being a Therian of the feline type, I have no other reasons I guess. lol  [[Image:UserJKougar sig.gif|User:J.Kougar]]  J.Kougar  00:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, what the heck. I'm going to go ahead and list all the information I have on her so far. Hopefully she won't kill me for it later. ;)   J.Kougar  05:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, she's more attractive. As she hasn't done anything yet, this is all I have to judge her on. Let's find a loophole to dupe mini polar bears, and see how she reacts. 75.120.179.247 03:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Her lastname means "Good Work/Deed/Action" Zulu Inuoe 04:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought the more direct translation was 'good work' as in a creation or work of art, rather than the act of doing work. Least that's what what she said it meant.  lol  [[Image:UserJKougar sig.gif|User:J.Kougar]]  J.Kougar  04:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Usualy "Obra" is used to identify a deed done in charity, or as you said in art, but really it can mean all of those things, and I suppose it's up to her to decide what it means to her Zulu Inuoe 04:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Big boots, GL Regina --BobTurkey

She said on GWW she will have no mascots whatsoever.
 * No mascots, no problem. Now about that Polar Bear duping...American Wrath 04:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have minded The Rabbit, but I suppose that's Emily's thing. Still, aside from the "feminism" part (which is acceptable as long as it doesn't get into the negative side of it) and the name being crazier than Sikieiki Yamaxanadu (though no name will ever be as annoying to me as "Gaile Gray" has become), I have a good amount of faith in her. For now, at least. We'll see how she acts in the future. Ephidel 05:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * About the feminism thing... well, even iff it's true, it's not so smart to note it on her page because, well like 90% of the GW players are male. I don't care iff she is a feminism, she just can't use it to judge things in GW. Not that i'm judging her already, just by reading it, i'm just afraid that it might amount in something... 78.21.7.221 16:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That worries me too. I also expect complaints from concerned parents that their children are talking to a lesbian. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Faith in humanity -1 the first time I see that. --Macros 22:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 90%? Really? Where are the stats? Last time I checked, men can be feminists too, by the way. Why are you so threatened by the fact that she identifies with feminism? And honestly, there's nothing wrong with viewing Guild Wars through a feminist lens. The media that we consume is not above critical analysis. Grow up already.
 * So, Hi Regina if you read this. To Felix, people who feel worried about contact with homosexuals and therefore discriminate homosexuality are just sad... and is SHE a lesbian? I kind of got the idea that she interviewed someone from the Lesbian Gamers website... or something of the sort.

 * "people who feel worried about contact with homosexuals and therefore discriminate homosexuality are just sad" Or possibly religious. Eitherway i sense another political hatefest is in the wind--Cobalt | Talk  14:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Another? I'm new here, so I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, religion teaches to love your neighbour and etcetera doesn't it? So why does it contradict itself on the homosexual 'issue' - so-called? Whatever :P old argument... but still true. [[Image:User The Mooing Cat image1.png|19px]] The Mooing Cat  14:46, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This is hardly the place for a discussion like this, but i do want to say that Felix is probally right about people complaining over Regina being Lesbian. I have no problems what so ever with it, but its a messed up world we live in, and all kinds of messed up people live on it. So Regina, if you got trouble, and no one else can help, mayby you can hire us. We'll virtually defend you.Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 17:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * @The Mooing Cat : By "Another" i was reffering to this. As for "religion teaches to love your neighbour ", i agree with arnout that this is hardly the place for discussion like that, so i will only say that, In my opinion, no, it doesn't. If you want to debate that further post on my talk page or we'll end up with a problem similar to the one on Reginas image talk.--Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I only asked if she was a lesbian because Felix said it, "...are talking to a lesbian." and since I thought she had merely interviewed a member of LesbianGamers.com, and wasn't actually a lesbian herself(according to what I had so far, and to this moment read), I posed the question. Anyway, I don't care either way, it was just for discussion's sake. [[Image:User The Mooing Cat image1.png|User:The Mooing Cat|19px]] <font color="Black">The Mooing Cat  23:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I still don't know most of this is tl;dr and I'm waiting for a bold; yes or no. I personally wouldn't care either way...a persons a person no matter what; unless its something really evil like a mass murderer or a child predator then *BLEH* <font color ="skyblue" size="3px" face ="mistral">Lost-Blue 23:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Take a look at her Cerise magazine's mission statement, among other things. I don't know if it's explicitly stated anywhere, but context clues lead me to infer that she is a lesbian. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll have a look then. [[Image:User The Mooing Cat image1.png|User:The Mooing Cat|19px]] <font color="Black">The Mooing Cat  23:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * How does the mission statement of Cerise in any way give you a "clue" about her sexuality? It's a magazine for women in general, not queer women specifically. Also, it's not "hers," she just contributes to it. No, she hasn't stated what her sexuality is anywhere, so all this discussion on her sexuality is just speculation based on the misconceptions of a few. She writes for a feminist gaming magazine and she interviewed a lesbian gaming site. These two factors do not implicitely mean that she is a lesbian, and it's sad that so many people seem to think that they do. Her sexuality? It's none of your business. Honestly, if you had any respect for her or her job, you'd leave her personal life be. It's none of your business.99.157.202.153 01:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

By the way, to anyone who thinks the people here are speaking about her sexuality for any reason at all: You're dead wrong, we're just looking for something to talk about. It doesn't mean anyone here will judge her because of it (Though most people probably will) and if anyone says so it is most likely if not crtainly aimed to be a joke
 * Simmer down, Mr. IP. I said I anticipate problems with concerned parents; I am not one of these parents in question, nor (to my knowledge) is anyone else who has commented. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That was me... and that was pretty much what I said Zulu Inuoe 04:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You're 99.157.202.153? Then why did you argue with yourself? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * By your indentation and position of post, I thought you were replying to me Zulu Inuoe 05:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Point being? Your anticipation is based on an assumption that she's a lesbian, an assumption that you're making based off of very little information, and from what I gather, a bunch of stereotypes about lesbianism. Your gendered assumptions are pretty gross. 99.157.202.150 05:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you feel that way. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Quoting from above: "Please no, not a feminist. They represent the worst possible aspects of capitalism, deceit and discrimination. This is not a good qualification for working with children. Dirran" - This is so brainless and outright wrong I actually thought it was meant to be ironic and sarcastic - at first. Then I remembered how feminism is routinely used as a negative word in religious and patriarchal circles, to convince the easily-fooled that all feminists are evil man-hating lesbians who want to rule the world, when in fact, a feminist is someone who desires "merely" gender equality. I realize that expecting "merely" gender equality is more than enough to send many men (and some women) into a tizzy when it shatters their world view that women should be barefoot and nekkid in the kitchen of the private sphere while leaving the men to trawl the public sphere. The simple truth is that if you're *not* a feminist you're a JERK, either because you're ignorant of the word's meaning, because you lack courage, or because you're a misogynist (or homophobic, in some cases) bigot. Three cheers to you, Regina, for not being afraid to put "I am a feminist" - I am PRO-EQUALITY - on your wikipage, even knowing what some of these idiots would extrapolate from it. Thinking people couldn't bloody care less what your bedroom inclinations are (not that anyone should be assuming that feminists swing one way or another anyway, as my very feminist husband reminds ME) so long as you make the game a better place to be - and frankly more games could use someone who isn't a testosterone-laden oaf on staff. Nynn 16:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There isn't a problem with equality, the problem is that modern feminism has taken it so far that in spite of tons of evidence, courts give women custody in the vast majority of divorce cases (statistics say that the child is twice as likely to end up committing crimes in a single mother household as opposed to a single father household) and require the man to give up absurd amounts of his property even if the woman did nothing at all to earn it (see Heather Mills). Again, pro-equality? Sure.  Over-zealous feminism? IS NOT EQUALITY. 75.143.94.174 03:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah...you obviously don't know anything about feminism. Or what actually constitutes equality. Maybe you shouldn't talk about things of which you are clearly ignorant. Just a suggestion. 71.133.203.145 04:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Feminism does not equate Lesbianism. However, since neither of which are related to her job at ArenaNet, she won't be making direct statements about her sexuality or personal life, outside of what is found on her Blog.
 * I do however, know first hand, that she is not a Lesbian. I'm not at liberty to disclose too much information, but I can say that despite her Blog making it clear that she is supportive of homosexuality and she does considers herself to be a feminist, it does not state that she is a Lesbian as she is not a Lesbian.
 * I'm aware that most folks know that I'm a homosexual, and if I was in part responsible for the misunderstanding that Regina was a Lesbian, then I apologize for any misleading remarks I made before I had all the facts.

 * @Kougar I don't think it was in any way affected by your homosexuality, that, by the way, I wasn't aware of as I am new in the wiki. Anyway, I would say it started with Felix's misunderstanding, and 'contextual clues, (sorry Felix :P) but in all, I suppose I started it by saying "and is SHE a lesbian?", and I'm sorry it may have started so much confusion. So anyway, hello, nice to meet you. :) [[Image:User The Mooing Cat image1.png|User:The Mooing Cat|19px]] <font color="Black">The Mooing Cat  17:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
