Sure, the RP could always use more catgirls. And given that we're playing a properly designed system your gender or class will let you contribute to the game in a meaningful, mechanical sense just fine.

Think about what thread you just created, OP.

Don't use a cutie from Granblue for a trashy post like this.

Alright so this is a troll thread. Can we try to maybe twist it into an intelligent discussion?

Here's a topic Ive wanted to make a thread about for a while but never have because of the probability that it would devolve into what this thead is already intended to be, but it can't hurt to throw it in now.

I've always been annoyed by males and females being stated the same in rpgs. Treating the genders the same doesn't open up more possibilities for narrative, it destroys them. In a game that is entirely about telling a story, why would you invalidate one of the most important pieces of human nature and character variety? On that note, this obviously does not at all apply to tgs entirely about tactical gameplay.

Sure you can still treat men and women differently in roleplay and worldbuilding, and only apply the magical equality to mechanics, but then I wonder why we have mechanics at all if not to partially automate and add randomness and versimility to the art of storytelling. Mechanics optimally need to be built to facilitate the kind of stories it aims to tell through its natural processes, and this means having the genders treated as seperate things is desirable.

In my opinion anyway.

So if you are resolved to stat genders differently, with balance being a consideration but not a law, how would you do it? I'm not asking about DnD stats or any stats in particular, incent stats if you need to to make your point, I'm just interested in what how the stats of men and women vary to push stories to naturally unfold in ways which are allready intuitively archetypal to us, so that they can then be meaningfully suberted or otherwise interacted with.

Riiiight.

>>51563238
Cat ears actually attach at the side of the head, rather than on top. The inner ear is in the same place, roughly, as human ears.

I got curious after discovering catgirls, and had a relatively docile cat handy to check ears on.

>>51562971
The problem is that men and women aren't balanced by nature. Men are noticeably superior to women in many ways when it comes to adventuring, and women have essentially nothing to compensate for it.

Women are more flexible, and some studies suggest they have slightly better manual dexterity (although the study I saw was based on sowing skill, so I suspect a certain bias...) and the idea that women have a higher pain treshold is a myth. If it's a human-only game, I suppose you could give them higher Charisma, to represent the Women are Wonderful effect, but that sort of thing is highly situational - there are plenty of social situations where it's better to be a man.

I suppose if you have a really assymetrical system, you could give men a boost to strength, speed, toughness and all of that crap, and women a boost to stealth (because they're smaller and more flexible), reduced aggro because they're less threatening, and possibly a boost to sense motive, representing the (highly suspect) notion that women are more empathetic.

If you did this right, women would have a significant advantage when playing classes such as rogues and wizards, being able to sneak better and avoid being targeted by enemies, while the men get in close and personal and protect their adventuring waifus.

>>51562971
Girls get -4 str, but a bonus to seduction rolls against men.

Although, on a serious note, if we wanted to do what you're talking about, women would indeed get a base penalty to strength and whatever determines hit points, a bonus to perception, dexterity and whatever determines how fast they heal and restore stamina, and maybe some wisdom/spirit/whatever. Men get strength, hp, endurance, intelligence. Also realistically men should be allowed to make more serious changes in their base stats, i.e. take a large bonus in one stat for an equal penalty in another, while women are closer to the average. Socially women are better at persuasion and seduction especially when interacting with men, and men are better at threats. All that could be overridden for a certain character, like if a particular woman is big and trained, she's stronger than an average man, and this also changes her bonuses/penalties in social interactions accordingly, if she has scars and has a reputation of being a ruthless bandit, her threats will be much more effective than her seduction (unless someone's into that). And finally skills matter a lot more than attributes.

>>51561661
>>51561492
Oh, right.

I thought it was a MMO term like "toon" or whatever.

>>51563407
>All that could be overridden for a certain character
I don't think that's reasonable. If a woman got as scary/strong/tough as she could, a man who did the same would still be scarier/stronger/tougher, unless he was born a pitiful runt.

>>51562971
+2 strength to men and that's it, that's the only statifiable bonus.

>>51563401
Whenever I do animal-people in my settings, I always fluff animal ears starting at the same place human ears would start.

And yes, their ears would be huge, compare the ratio of a cat head to a cat ear and translate that to human-size. Fox ears would be even bigger.

On the other hand you could always base your cat girls on big cats (tiger, leopard, etc.), their ears are proportionally smaller.

I think I was pretty open about that. And just because a subject is inflammatory doesnt mean its meritless

>>51563407
Are already two replies of good quality.

So far it seems that a system which wants to do this would need a robust social system, which is fine as my proposition that genders be stated differently did assume a rather character driven approach to tgs. No one is going to argue that men are going to be highly unbalenced relative to men in a game entirely about fighting; this discussion is mostly about what kinds of things a game would need to make storytelling with gender as a meaningful element satisfying.

>>51563401
Not really; the ears aren't symmetrical. One side attaches to the top of the head, and the other below the ear canal.

I don't have a fox around to check, but I'd assume they'd be the same. An ear is an ear.
Of course, I sadly can't repeat the feline observations. The docile cat in question is long dead now, having lived a long, fulfilling life of being a cat.

I think their ears would be bigger but not in the same proportion as the original animal.

>>51563407
>>51562971
>>51563281

I think the thing is determine how we see a character, and what the basic stats represent.

In a multi-race setting, at least for me, the stats bonus/malus represent the difference betwen the different species, who should be much more great than betwen to individual of different gender in the same species.

You should also take in account that basic stat's should represent the average potential of a species. If you start to take account the gender, you should also take in account the physical difference in the different human ethnies. For example a Scandinavian, who's average size is more important than the one of a Tibetan should be more strong.

Finally, stats should represent a individual. It would be stupid to give a strengh malus to a female gladiator that have been train since childhood and a bonus to the male mage who skip legs, arm and abs day, or to be honest every day.

And that's only for the human. Sexual dimorphism vary between species; maybe the Dwarf female will not get malus in "Toughness" cause Dwarf female are just as tough as male in this setting, who know.

>>51563518
I'd give women +2 dex for game balance purposes, but it's not really realistic.

But fuck realism

>>51562212

This isn't necessarily true.

>It would be stupid to give a strengh malus to a female gladiator that have been train since childhood and a bonus to the male mage who skip legs, arm and abs day, or to be honest every day.

The man has a "racial" bonus to his basic strength, and the woman has a penalty. The woman still has a higher total strength stat than the man in this scenario, because she has invested heavily in strength, but their potential is and always was different.

But you make some good points, which pretty much make up the reason I don't bother with stat differences in fantasy games (or any games, honestly).

>>51563692
Actually my own system is a science fantasy where humans are one a few races, but are the only race with sexual reproduction. Other races include a psuedo-asexual (first birth is from a slow breeding non-humanoid broodthing, can reprudice asexually afterwords) alien which is highly prone to mutation (the number of births since the firstbirth), so it has a plethora of subraces. The other is mechanical, so litterally build-a-subspecies.

I thought it would be cool to have the human "subraces" just be genders, since gender is an important part of their identity relative to other races (and also a few results of pantrophy and desiner gene therapy). So thats part of how I got on this bend.

>>51563463
Well, maybe that's reasonable, but since we're talking about a game where every character, no matter where they start, will end up with superhuman abilities, I think it's more important to give players more options to make characters that are interesting and outstanding in their own way.

Also, I should add that this all was written with medieval fantasy humans in mind, since it may be different for different species and cultures.

>>51563692
>at least for me, the stats bonus/malus represent the difference betwen the different species, who should be much more great than betwen to individual of different gender in the same species.
It depends. Like, you could write a race where males are super large and tough and females are much smaller, faster and more nimble, and a race that is rather close to humans, so the difference between tham and humans isn't so big.

>>51563830
>This isn't necessarily true.

The thing is, carac stat's are they are use in most game have limit.

You can choose to give bonus like for example +2 to strengh to male human; let's say for example the Orcs, who, regardless of gender are stronger than human, have a racial bonus of +2 and the male have a other +2. Female orc would be as strong as a human ? I know it differ with the setting, but a regular female orc should be stronger than a regular male human.

I don't know if my point is clear.

>>51561378
What about what post you just created, faggot.

>>51563914

Well for starters you have your terms wrong.

The word gender refers to ones assumed sex within the confides of the mind, and was coined by a sudo-scientest who sure loved to fuck up little kids.

Ones sex, on the other hand, is ones bodily makeup that leads to the individual being classified as a male or female, based on genitalia and hormones.

If offering stats based on physical attributes, most would assume that males would have benefits to their strength and endurance, whilst females might have benefits to thier charisma and dexterity.

Same for the "ethnies" problem I talk about in my first post. How did you introduce the fact that the Scandinavian guy, by his size and more imposant physic have better basic stat than the tibetan/asian ?

Well he's right that it refers to a social role that may or may not correspond with the biological sex. By the way, if we write a race with a third gender, the third gender there may have physical attributes bonuses/penalties of their biological sex, but other social modifiers.

>>51564066
I had assumed gender was synonymous with sex pre-sjw too, but after reading his post I looked it up and apparently it originally only refered to the male/female conjuration of a word, and then in the mid 1900s was extended to conceptual sex as opposed to physical sex.

Fire Emblem does this well: Female units average lower Strength/Defense and higher Skill/Speed... which is pretty fair because a) all those stats are fairly important and b) individual differences will often (as in life) be louder than systematic differences. Also, depending on the edition, some classes could be gender restricted (In Tellius, for instance, you won't find male Pegasus Knights or female Warriors [axe on foot].)

>>51565790
In most Fire Emblem settings, you won't find male pegasus riders or female axe users at all.

>>51565790
>individual differences will often (as in life) be louder than systematic differences

This one is important. Fantasy games usually feature larger-than-life, unusual protagonists, so enforcing large penalties based on how the race USUALLY is feels weird and dishonest to the spirit of the genre.

Then again, the worst offender is D&D and D&D is certifiable, proven to be shit.

>>51563407
Mostly good points, but studies actually show that the average intelligence of men and women are almost exactly the same, but men tend to be less average, that is, their iq tends a bit more toward being much higher, or much lower than average

>>51566055
Some of that is based on the fact that only a single X chromosome can be active at once in a cell.

Thus, females get an averaging factor of both of their Xs, while males get only a single.

This is also why heterochromia is more common in women, and calico cats are mostly female.

>>51563407
The thing is though that men have such a big advantage when it comes to strength (specifically upper body strength, around 40% stronger than women on average) that women would basically need to all be natural gymnasts to balance out the strength advantage...which doesn't really seem realistic.

>>51562971

An extrodinary man and an extrodinary woman should still be different though. I know using strength is becoming a tired example, but the strongest woman to ever live was probably still not nearly as strong as the strongest man ever to live. The point does hold if we are talking about super-human demi-gods, but that is an entirely different kind of story to tell, gender is only really significant in pretty human stories, else wise gender is a rather trite subject next to the high concept epics.

Anyone have any data on male vs female "sanity"? I know men are far more likely to have aggressive disorders and women far more likely to have depressive disorders, and personal experience and stereotype indicates that women are far more fearful. However, they also seem to generally focus better and have better emotional control (but far worse emotional repression). Finally, they certainly multitask better, and have better general connectivity and blood flow in the brain.

Asking because sanity is mana in my system, could be a nice balancer.

Argument in favor of distinction here.
>>51562971
It adds another facet to the character and story that functions with the mechanics you have chosen to be a partner in that story's creation. If the mechanics don't recognize it, it falls somewhat flat, and you somewhat lose that facet,

>>51561318

>mfw I make my character an orc barbarian

>>51566743
Is that facet actually important, though?

>>51566753
Well, no facet of storytelling is necessary, of course, as with most kinds of art. But yes, great stories are often about people, culture, human nature and so on, and gender is a very important part of those things.

>>51566775
so, stat separation should only be in a story if you make a story in which stat separation is important.

The bell curve IQ thing fails to take many things into account.

Like the fact that highest IQ scores ever recorded belong to females and 2 out of 3 people in history who scored the highest on Hoeflin's test were female.

And there is another very important thing in fantasy settings. Women are more "magical" in pretty much every culture on the planet. This is why there are many times more accounts of female witches, mediums or shamans.

So realistically in a fantasy setting females should get a bonus to magical stats.

False.
And even if it were true, it's largely irrelevant to the trends of the data set.

>And there is another very important thing in fantasy settings. Women are more "magical" in pretty much every culture on the planet. This is why there are many times more accounts of female witches, mediums or shamans.

The fact that women are overrepresented in the very top IQ scores is a clear proof that going with "muh average" is complete bullshit.

IQ tests fail to account for a ton of things. 60 years old women had far worse education that men in the same age. Simply because 60 years ago not many women went to higher education at all. If you look at tests made by teens females actually have a pretty big advantage.

Higher education has not been shown to cause long term IQ gains.
In fact, there is no consensus on how to create long terms IQ gains. It's likely impossible to any significant degree.

Are you really too stupid to know why your links are as relevant to your argument as a treatise on feminist epistemology would be?

Higher education rates do not reflect variance in g factor or IQ

Also, while it's an annoying meme at this point, it's still true that STEM, still dominated by men, is more reliant on classical IQ, so it's not even correlation that's shown in your links; the opposite, in fact

>>51584470

This guy knows what he's talking about.

>>51562971
Same reasons why skeletons can move under their own power and cause physical harm to people, the laws of our world do not necessarily have to apply to a fantasy world. Honestly, what does making women weaker than men mechanically do to affect the narrative? It is clearly established in many settings that adventurers ARE NOT NORMAL PEOPLE.

Once characters start hitting about 6th level or so they're already far more powerful than probably 97% of the humanoid population of that world. Adventurers are special fucking exceptions to the common laws of biology and logic.

>>51584470

You know that women have real equal access to universities for just few decades as opposed to men completely dominating education for thousands of years right? And they are already dominating.

Yes, there are still more men in STEM, but at the rates it's changing today it's not going to be true anymore in few decades.

The most funny thing here is the fact it's changing faster in countries like Singapore, China or Iran compared to the west.

>>51562971
>Treating the genders the same doesn't open up more possibilities for narrative, it destroys them
I'm not seeing how this is the case.

If you have identical stats for the sexes, you can effectively play a strong woman (who may or may not need no man) or a weak guy or whatever you want.

With different stats, characters like that would likely have a penalty to their main stat, which would limit their effectiveness. On the other hand, they would have bonuses to other stats, but with no differences you could just shift a point or two over (assuming you're playing with point buy or some method of increasing stats in game). The other upside to different stats is so you can optimize for higher main stats (male Orc for +lots to Str, female Elf for +lots to Dex, etc) but that either gives players who do that (or happen to pick an advantageous combination) an edge over people who don't.

That said, most of this goes out the window if you're playing a game where you're more inclined to have a bunch of stats at decent levels than one or two super high.

Personally, I'm fine with small amounts of it in stuff where it doesn't really affect anything in the long run (Morrowind comes to mind), but at that point it barely does anything to the game so why bother with the extra overhead unless you need it for your realism-boner (which is fine, but I don't particularly have one).

Compare her to a male Oly lifter in the same weight bracket and prepare to be disappointed as fuck. Pound for pound men are simply far stronger than women on average, it's just a biological fact.

>>51573898
A woman in the 99th percentile for physical fitness testing in the military is in the 55th percentile for men, and men in the 55th percentile for pft scores can be denied career advancement until he improves his scores if the commanding officer wants.

They lowered the standards for Ranger school because they couldn't get any women to qualify under the male minimum standards, even when they gave the women 6 months to prepare for Ranger school as their whole duty (ie, they didn't have to do anything but train constantly). Then every single one flunked out in the first phase, so they recycled them again and again, lowering the difficulty by increments until they finally passed (3rd try), when for men Ranger school is fail one and done.

For stage 2, the rucks were 20 lbs lighter than usual and the marches were 15% shorter, the diet had 300 more calories a day, the male students were instructed to assist with soldier tasks like digging foxholes, and they were given extra equipment to ensure they could take bathroom breaks in private.

The President announced that he was going to visit the graduation of the first female rangers when they still had 2 pass/fail exercises to complete in third phase, and there were 60% fewer washouts in their class than average.

It was a job from start to finish, because a woman who performs to above average male standards, when it comes to physical fitness, is literally an Olympic caliber athlete.

And that's fine, PCs generally are superior physical specimens, but the female record for most weight lifting events is less than 65% of the men's record.

>>51562971
The differences between the genders is rather negligible. At least negligible when a setting contains Orcs that are many times stronger than the average man or Elves that are move with unnatural grace or magic items that can make someone a polymath or a smooth-talker instantly.

>>51586749
I'd be happy if muscle definition started around 10% body fat, so chasing defined abs didn't tend to completely obliterate the tits they had to start. I don't need them to have tig ole biddies, but I'd like rock hard abs and a full cupped B to be an option.

Abs and big tits exist its really how a woman chooses to work out. People get visible abs at whats considered fat by bber standards.

>>51586815
A plus 4 to strength makes the orc average a human 75th percentile, so "several times" is something of a misnomer.

Assuming straight proportionality and maximum natural at level 20, you're just taking about a 16% difference. Or around 162 lbs in the Raw Squat.

>>51586851
Visible abs, sure, but not cut definition. Cut definition means under 3% bodyfat, and under 3% bodyfat means breasts become deflated dugs and mensus stops.

If she's got cut definition and she still has tits, they are fake.

Otoh, you can't knock her up...

>>51586930
It really depends on what you mean by cut for bbers that means shredded for regular people if you see a 6-8 pack om a person its cut to them.
and half the trick of getting abs is simply to enlarge the muscles and flex which pushes them out.

>>51586708

Making STEM so broad that almost any job could qualify is a pretty pathetic tactic, and is at its core a semantic argument.

>>51586930
Oh and about the tits thing definately not. You see female tit size isn't dictated by body fat. So you can have slim women who are almost anorexic that are titty monsters.
I met a lady from europe once that had the biggest natural breasts ive ever seen on a woman ive met. She had a narrow waist with a six pack.

>>51586879
I mean, that just supports my point. Why should human sexes diverge further in characteristics than they different species? "-4 str" assumes the difference in strength between a man and a woman is equivalent to the difference in strength between a man and a half-orc.

>>51587014
While not all fat girls get rocking titties, and skinny girls can be top heavy as fuck, there is a minimum required bodyfat percentage required to maintain the fatty deposit that gives breasts their shape (and that percentage increases based on cup size)

As
>>51586974
mentions, the comprehension problem we're having is likely due to power level differences in the muscular woman preference we have.

>>51587113
Body fat only comes into play when they workout more than they consume so the body looks for fat deposits to reduce which is usually the greasts large.
As for fat women getting bigger breasts its essentially padding out their core breast.
The funny thing is the claim of no spot reduction ok for arguments sake lets say that is correct but even bbers will tell you certain fatty areas are stubborn to reduce.

>>51587113
Also those posters are both me.

So yeah if you wanted to say is a large breasted amazon warrior woman with a six pack feasible? Yes because all they would need to do is weightlifting exercises and really nothing else to attain that physique

>>51587040
For the same reason why any animal has greater dimorphism than the difference between it's standard range of size and ability between it and another (perhaps related) species.

The difference between a Widow and a Redback is smaller than between a male and female of either species, despite the fact that they have been isolated from each other longer than the existence of the Homo genus.

Listen, if you don't want it in your game, that's fine, but if someone wants a little more realism, that's a choice too, and a valid one as well.
The 162 lbs in the Raw Squat record I mentioned in >>51586879
can give us a comparison baseline for this dimorphism for bonus to stat as well, because while the male record is 1014 lbs, the female record is 661.

>>51587244
E.g., if we claim that dnd ability scores are proportional (evidence is inconsistent), the Orc record should be 1174 lbs, roughly half the difference between the male and female record.

Lidia Valentin Perez, however, won Olympic Gold in London in the 75 kilo division (she actually placed 5th, but the top 4 tested positive for PEDs), and her personal best is 147 kilos in the clean and jerk. I'm pretty sure she's got 135 kilos on the bar in that picture.

Holley Mangold competes in the unlimited division, obviously.

Men do not deserve a flat upgrade to intelligence. Men have an intelligence that is more "swingy" than womens due to the Y chromosome lacking counterparts to the X chromosome. Therefor men are rolling the die a bit more on their single X chromosome. They are just as likely to come out dumb as a brick as they are to come out exceedingly intelligent. Women are more often riding the average because they have two X chromosomes and are more likely to balance a "dumb person" gene with a more normal one.

Men don't have that redundancy so we get more Einsteins but also a lot more dumb people. Men also seem to have higher rates of personality deficiencies, we are just less balanced overall.

Wisdom for women would make sense though, growing up in a world where one gender is physically bigger and stronger would provide opportunity to make a person more introspective, cautious, and aware. Especially if they chose dangerous professions.

>>51586742
This.

Another problem is that games aren't really accurate renditions of real life, especially their combat. We could make a game that was more accurate in this fashion and it would take a lot of the importance of strength out of the equation. Without massive ballooned health bars and damage reliant on strength women could have a much better place in combat.

I'm not trying to say that in a straight up fight women are the equals of men, they aren't, not by a long shot. What I am saying though is that in the real world women are less bound by social norms and honor to fight fairly and are more than capable of murdering large men with even relatively small weapons like daggers when they know what they are doing. Men don't expect that level of violence from women and its something that can (and has been historically) be taken advantage of. Basically, fighting is hard, murder is easy.

Well, let's just say that it's the same people who think Valeria is (almost) as good as Conan at adventuring, so one should guess the problem if anything should be on the praticality of the outfit.

>>51561318
I would have no problem allowing this in my game. Agility-based warriors are just as viable as strength-based ones, with their own pros and cons of course. Health is a measure of fighting spirit as much as it is raw durability, so having 'pluck' can justify your character being a tough front-liner even if you aren't a burly mountain man. The verbal tick could prove annoying but that's up to the other players, really.

>>51562971
Yeah, I agree with most of the other replies; player characters are not 'normal' and can (and will) defy stereotypes based on their race and gender. In my game, for example, Elves tend to have higher Intellect but lower Might than human average, and there are some suggested attribute arrays for Elves to reflect this, but nothing stops you from making a very strong, very stupid Elf.

Besides, I consider attributes to be more based on upbringing and personal talent rather than whether you're an Elf or an Orc. Elves tend to be nerds because their society rewards intelligence and tends towards magic, which don't require physical strength. Orcs are strong and not well-read because they're mostly farmers, hunters, and mercenaries. When you spend 15 years waking up at 3 a.m. and doing chores until sunset you build muscle and stamina but you don't really have much time for reading books.

They have laboratories and shit in hospitals for tests. Does the S in STEM only refer to research? That seems weirdly selective.

The USMC are the only 'marines' that actively recruit the dumbest fucks they can find and train them to not even consider thinking.

Men tend to deal with their emotions by not dealing with them. They ignore them and do their best to focus on other things. If they can't ignore them they get increasingly frustrated and neurotic, which they will try to solve via action (take care of the source of the problem, something not always possible in emotional issues, often making things worse) rather than introspection. On the plus side, men deal with stressful situations better because of this, they realize they are getting emotional and they just focus on the task at hand more to keep it at bay.

Women just deal with their emotions. They get into a stressful situation and they get stressed out and emotional, those emotions stay there and effect everything they do until they take care of them. The positive side of this is that they actually do get over it.

A quick googling will lead you to some data on how men deal with breakups better in the short-term than women, but never really fully get over the emotional pain. While women are worse off in the short term, but bounce back after a little bit.

Also, personal experience having been around men and women a lot in my life.

So where is the line drawn exactly? As I mentioned before I think it's reasonable to exclude candystripers and janitors from the field, but I'm still not certain why, exactly. It seems that nurses are a significant step above those, because they're often instrumental in gathering observations to continue the thought I was thinking earlier, but they're not quite doctors. It seems fair to me, based on my incomplete knowledge of what nurses do, to compare them to lab techs. It also seems reasonable to consider lab techs and/or assistants members of STEM fields.

So what is the actual "line" to cross in order to enter the hallowed halls of S.T.E.M., if we take as fact that nurses are not a part of it while doctors and researchers are?

I'd say doctors aren't either. Medical research is an entire field separate from practical medicine. The laboratories in hospitals don't really carry out scientific research, they are used for analysis for medical purposes. The line is pretty clear though: if you publish your research results in scientific journals, you're doing science.

>Medical research is an entire field separate from practical medicine.
That seems true. But why is scientific analysis not science? It's based on the same fundamentals of observation, hypothesis, and experimentation:
>observation: the patient is exhibiting X symptoms. Y disease that also exhibits X symptoms reacts in a certain way to this chemical.
>hypothesis: the patient has this disease, and introducing this chemical to a sample of the patient's blood will cause the disease to react.
>experiment: the patient's blood reacted, therefore they have disease Y.
>observation: the disease Y is cured by application of treatment Z...
and so on. So why doesn't this count as science if replicating past experiments presumably does?

>>51597588
I think you have it entirely backwards.

The analytics and labs are the ones doing the science, the doctors themselves are putting the findings of those studies to use.

No matter what you do a researcher will never be more cherished than a doctor.

>>51597866
Because what you're descibing is not research of anything new, it's application of already established things. While yes, this can lead to some discoveries (mainly in the methodology, not in biological theory), new or more accurate data, or just generally more statistics, this is pretty minor compared to what actual biological laboratories and scientific groups do.

>>51597983
We were talking about the labs in the hospitals. Hospitals have labs that are used for analyses of the patients' conditions etc.

>>51599917
>Because what you're describing is not research of anything new...
Neither is peer review, but researchers who conduct peer review experiments are undoubtedly a crucial part of the scientific process: you have to be able to reliably reproduce experiments. As I pointed out before, medical treatment looks a lot like a reproduced experiment. Sometimes, as in peer review experiments, medical treatments yield unanticipated results, prompting more research. So in almost every aspect, medical treatment is the same as peer review. So are the researchers who replicate others' experiments scientists?
>it's application of already established things.
Unless you're going into your high school physics experiment without considering the theory of gravity, I'm not sure how you can practically do science without applying already established theories at all. What did Newton say about giants again?

>>51600291
Really? You can't undestand the difference?

>peer review experiments are undoubtedly a crucial part of the scientific process
And they are cunducted for that purpose.

>medical treatment looks a lot like a reproduced experiment
No, it does not. There is a very important distinction. A doctor does not experiment with anything, he knows that if he does something the result will be what he expects. Otherwise it's experimental fucking medicine and it's pnly used on volunteers and is an entirely different thing. Let me illustrate if you don't get it. I take a medicine, drink it and expect it to do what its description says. I don't wait for the result to see what how the medicine behaves. And it's the same with a doctor. He must know what he's doing. He may not be entirely sure, but it's not an experiment, the doctor doesn not intend the medicine to act unexpectedly, and he will always try to use the most reliable methods.

>Unless you're going into your high school physics experiment without considering the theory of gravity, I'm not sure how you can practically do science without applying already established theories
Are you fucking trolling here? Of course you apply SOME knowledge. But the whole point of an experiment is to TEST a hypothesis or theory, do something that may result in knew knowledge, while the whole point of medical treatment is to rely on everything that's known and to consider all theory as established truth.

>Sometimes, as in peer review experiments, medical treatments yield unanticipated results, prompting more research
Yes, and I pointed that out. And as I said this is pretty minor compared to what actual biological laboratories and scientific groups do.

So in the end, the difference is how certain they are that their experiments will yield the expected results? Scientists are only people who do things anticipating unexpected results?

Any medical treatment, if it doesn't go as planned, can result in new knowledge, just like in established scientific experiments. If, in the process of attempting to replicate an experiment, something goes not according to plan, that means that either a) you did something wrong or b) that you've found something new that the first experiment somehow missed. How is this any different from how medicine is practiced, aside from medicine being (hopefully) more predictable? Saying that the unanticipated results in medicine are "minor" compared to dedicated research groups seems like a weirdly fuzzy line if we're talking about the distinction between "scientist" and "non-scientist."
