Thumbs up if you love gamer girls and you're not afraid to say it (also applies if you don't have a gf yet :) )

i don't think we should apply gender to a gamer.
a gamer is just a gamer, no matter if they are a boy or a girl?

It makes me happy that more girls play video games nowadays than when I was younger. I feel like it was a lot less socially accepted for girls to play video games back then.

Now we just need more video games that actually star girls. I don't think there's ever been single non-indie developed 3D platformer to star a girl, for instance.

To add to these, while they weren't the player character, Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us had female characters with hugely important roles that drove the plot forward. In Infinite's case Elizabeth was arguably more important than Booker.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate also had two protagonists one of which was female, and Liberation was just a lone female.

Edited in accordance with Bifrost wanting the breast to be portrayed accurately in a sarcastic manner"If we can list off enough games where one or more characters with sacks of fat muscles and glands too attached to their chest appeared a significant amount of times maybe we will start feeling good about ourselves for breaking the stereotype that because we have sacks of fat muscles and glands too attached to our chests means we shouldn't play video games" ~~ a human with sacks of fat muscles and glands too attached to their chest who plays video games

It's not 100% fat though, it's glands and some muscle too.

I dunno, I like female characters in my games because it's easier to identify with(most of the time, I don't mean Embodiment of Tumblr that you find in many indie games), but I'm fine without them if the story calls for someone else. Though I know feels>reals for several people so they DO want female protags just to feel good about themselves at the expense of everyone else.

For me Jaltoid comes to mind. It's always Jaltoid, isn't it.

Idk man, I've encountered so many people while playing online who immediately turn into creeps as soon as they find out you're a girl who likes gaming.

Usually "where do you live?", "what do you look like?", "are you hot?" and "can I have your kik/snapchat?" are the questions I get asked in no less than five minutes of someone finding out.

Topic probs ain't serious in the slightest but eh, thought I'd throw in my experiences.

Once I was playing CS:GO and immediately upon the woman speaking into her mic she had at least one guy making repeated sexual jokes at her. It's a serious problem.

I just think of some woman with a Pikachu hat and some NES t shirt who's trying real hard to convince you she plays games, but at the same time you can tell that because she's trying so hard you can kinda tell she doesn't.
Bonus points if she's biting the wiring of a controller.

I tend to just think that a woman who actually plays video games, especially on a hardcore level, isn't one to go out and talk up how she's a "gamer girl".

I completely forgot about her. It tends to be easy since her being voiceless makes it easy for you to project yourself onto the character.

Well, even if you're a guy, you'll be probably drowning in russian swears, accusations of hax and various spellings for bundle of sticks in some online games.
No matter the subject, if the jerk thinks they can get away with it, they'll do something stupid. A woman in the match just makes them lose their composure that much faster than someone playing better/ not the character everyone's using.

There should be zero sympathy given to people who have problems with being bullied in online games like CS:GO when the problem is so easily solved. In almost every online multiplayer game ever created there is a mute player option, and even if there for some reason isn't an option to mute a player you can just leave the server and go on a different one, alternatively you can put on your big strong independent woman pants and just ignore them. It is not a serious problem its just a bunch of assholes with anonymity being assholes and people too stubborn to ignore them.

Yes they can mute them or ignore them, but the problem still lies that the assholes shouldn't be assholes in the first place. Muting them ignores the real problem and doesn't truly solve it. So a girl is playing the game, so ****ing what, doesn't mean they have to act like a sexist pig.

I can't see why treat girls that play video games like that. You know, like what CAV said. I mean, sure, being attracted to someone with similar tastes is common and acceptable. But, the way some people treat the girls... It's about respect in a general sense.

I'm confusing, right? And this post was unnecessary, right?

i agree with bifrost, people are going to go for whats easiest to target regardless if you are female, have an accent, are a different race, etc
besides that it has improved significantly over the past few years, its much easier to see some guy torment another for their race than for their gender

It still did the job of digging up some bad sites and people, but eventually people realized their audience will read clikbait centrals/overly biased reviews because it's easy to find and parrot, not because they actually want the best articles. Nowadays looking at some comments section of GamerGate threads it's just mocking quotes of the usual suspects' twitters (because twitter totes doesn't have mountains of stupid SJW posts as is :I ), and not much that's relevant.

-game creator ****s 5 guys
-said guys give depression quest (an okay game at best) really good reviews
-everyone gets pissed off
-non sjw's (also known as ****lords, gamer gaters and privileged white males) call for a reform in gaming media.
-the movement is really loud for a awhile
-it kinda dies
-gaming media is still ****.
-the whole debacle with the "localization" of FE: Fates and GG gets kinda involved but not a whole lot
-Alison Rapp gets fired from nintendo by the ever amazing Jamie Walton
-Jamie Walton gets a slanderish Kotaku article written about her, this of course sets GG off.
-same thing happens with bravely second.
-GG boycotts Nintendo
-GG goes quiet
-Gawker gets taked down by Hulk Hogan
-GG cheers and then goes silent again, awaiting the time when they're needed again.

they've been silent ever since.

if you want my honest opinion about Gamer Gate.. I'm on their side, mainly because I'm tired of places like Polygon and Kotaku slamming people who don't agree with their agenda, as well as calling all male gamers sexist.

Just my two cents.

thats the problem with modern media tho, literally everyone has an agenda when, if theyre reporting on something that should be impartial, they take sides

the exact same thing happened with the new ghostbusters (which PROVED that girls can make middle of the road, disappointing reboot fodder just as well as the guys can), when sites either put the movie on a pedestal for its all female cast, or slammed it for that same reason
they really should have done their ****ing jobs as reviewers and been impartial from the get go, instead of hyping or slamming an okay movie at best

but even with those two, you see a ridiculous amount of bias in straight up news, since just about every reporter injects their views into what should be regular old news

Well, even if you're a guy, you'll be probably drowning in russian swears, accusations of hax and various spellings for bundle of sticks in some online games.
No matter the subject, if the jerk thinks they can get away with it, they'll do something stupid. A woman in the match just makes them lose their composure that much faster than someone playing better/ not the character everyone's using.


This is true but those swears may be based more on you playing badly (or playing so well you make him salty), whereas with women it comes to them based almost entirely on their sexual organs.

There should be zero sympathy given to people who have problems with being bullied in online games like CS:GO when the problem is so easily solved. In almost every online multiplayer game ever created there is a mute player option, and even if there for some reason isn't an option to mute a player you can just leave the server and go on a different one, alternatively you can put on your big strong independent woman pants and just ignore them. It is not a serious problem its just a bunch of assholes with anonymity being assholes and people too stubborn to ignore them.


The problem is when you're playing a team based game like CS:GO where communication is key to victory. And while leaving a server will solve the problem temporarily, the fact is women are much more likely to be harassed online than men and leaving one server to join another can just exchange one jackass for another.

Putting on the big pants is one thing yeah but when the others forget about the game they're playing in favor of sexually harassing you, you start to get pissed regardless.
And in the case of real life esports, never forget the Cross Assault woman in the SFxT tournament who got harassed so much by her team captain (IRL) that she walked off the game and quit.

For TF2, it's the flipside, most guys on the servers I play on actually respect girls who talk on the mic.

I.. well.. got lodged into a relationship with one I met on there, as some of you may know. Didn't end well at all. Ended up giving her a bunch of in-game gifts that she didn't appreciate at all, so she just sold all of them, and was even about to sell a $130 birthday gift I gave her, but I had to step in. She was really nice for a while, but was ridiculously quick to anger and did some pretty awful stuff to my other friends on there.
