Girl gaming
I recently had a very embarrassing encounter on these forums where i din't realize the person i was talking to was a girl so it gave me an idea to ask you guys if you support girl gamers or not. Also if you want to put down your most emmbarasing time where you were involved with a girl gamer or not. Also please don't be rude in the comment section

3 RepliesThere is no such thing as a 'girl gamer' There are only 'gamers'. Anything else is just a poser and in it for the attention whoring and not actual gaming whether that be a guy or a girl.

Girl gamers need our "support" as much as we need theirs. So basically not at all.

Girl gamers are girls who hop on the gaming trend to appear cool but are not a true gamer. Girls/Women who are gaming enthusiests are just gamers.

How about it never mattered that they were female and you continue to treat them as a normal human being.

Girl gamers never heard of this, probably something made up by the government.

Why the hell is it that everyone freaks out and panders to a female that plays video games? Sure its cool that there are females that play games but you don't need to chase them every time you see/hear one. I guess I 'support girl gaming' because for dating the girl has to be a gamer(even if they aren't good and yell whenever we play a game together).
-
People still refer to it like its a new aged concept? Its very common now. So there's no such thing as "girl gaming".
-
What? Is this a thing still? I thought girls were commonplace on video games now.

I don't understand why it should matter, unless someone isn't annoying or stupid, I honestly don't care who is on my team.

7 RepliesHaha, hard to believe this kind thread even exists here, then again, I don't believe you mean any harm. How does discovering someone you're talking to being a girl prompt the question 'Do you support girl gamers?' It's a bit of a non sequitur to me. But as for my experience with girls/women who'd I call gamers (which are plenty, as a Game Developer), I'd say their general behaviour online is far preferable to their (vocal) male counterpart. On skill level and interests of genre I couldn't tell them apart from men, either. Instead of barring them from play (which is pretty bloody ridiculous), I think they could be motived more on becoming gamers, as the gender ratio can be quite a bit off. The cause for this difference does seem to stem from the current casual paradigm on gaming. Every single girl I met who games regularly is having a hard time doing so not just because of a vocal male minority, but mostly because of their non-gamer peers. The best example I can give is that of my girlfriend. Her parents, school friends, and other social contacts all disapprove of her gaming; because it's something either for children or strictly from men. This pressure seems more present with her female friends, even. A lot of women I meet while studying or working say to experience very similar situations, which I think really hurts the gamer community. The reason why people behave this way is of course fuelled by marketing to a male audience, as well as the long history of gender inequality in games enforcing it. This is getting better; slowly, but it's mostly about making people feel welcome, whatever their gender, race, sexual orientation, or nationality. Amen. Sorry, got a bit carried away there, but I hope it's of some use, anyway.
