My girlfriend and I play games all the time and we are playing through gears of war 3 at the moment. And I know several other girls that play games. Batman, GoW, CoD, etc. Not necessarily girly games. You probably aren't alone.ZzNashoO

I'm a guy, but I don't see why you're going about with that sarcastic attitude. Is it so hard for you to believe that some girls actually prefer a TV screen over a doll?lShadyl

That's a dude though..

It's because in their limited notion of what defines a person, they do not accept me for who I am. They seem to think I'm male because I was born with a male body although I am female in regards of gender identity and who I am. They are the kind of people who think that a person is defined by what's between the legs instead of the actual person within. I identify as female, always have, I am not male. So therefore I am a female gamer. A person is not defined by what's between their legs. There are female gamers on this site and around the world, but the majority of them tend to keep quiet due to the issues I mentioned. Trying to get female gamers to speak up rarely ever works since many female gamers feel that if they speak up that they will be pestered by many of the immature male gamers who act like females should never be allowed to play video games.Smokescreened84

So you were technically born a man? No disrespect, just asking since you put it out there.

I was born with a male body, but my personality, manner, behaviour, how I identify myself as a person and as my gender is female. I am female, sex and gender are two separate things. Sex is reproduction, gender is based on personality and mental development from the womb up to adulthood. And I am not an 'it'. I am a human being, a female, regardless of how my physical sex is. What's between my legs does not define me as a person nor does it say what my gender is, it only says of the sex. And that will be rectified eventually.Smokescreened84

There, issue resolved.

Now let's get this thread back on track.

No. I just deal in definitions.

In OT there is a girl but I don't know if she plays game or not.

As for where I live, I know some female gamers although they don't come to this forum.

Harvest Moon is great, nothing to be ashamed of.Smokescreened84

Indeed. Played a few of them myself. Pretty all right stuff.

Seems so legit that it's probably not legit...

But maybe I'm just being paranoid. :\

A simple 'yes' or 'no' would have sufficed. It's not my place to be judgemental on how you choose to live your life. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Game on.

Over here.:D

I was just wondering if there were any other female game players who are also on Gamespot. I assume there are I was just wondering how many. When I forst started gaming it was very unusual for there to be female gamers. It sort of seems like females are often hard to find on gaming even though I think there are more than there used to be. There are girly games out there, but I'm one of those people who usually doesn't like those games. I prefer other types of titles. arcangelgold

Most of them seem to make it as clear as possible. I rarely play a game and hear a female voice unexpectedly because I already have been told they're a female or I got the idea from their username.

A post calling out girl gamers..that has a 99% male response....typical.

Well the percentage of females on GS is small, but it's there no doubt about that.
Heck there's Jody, Carolyn, and myself on staff. Soon we'll take over the whole office MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

PS. You all know the drill.... Everyone play nice or I start posting Ponys...

This thread is a trap!megagene

what trap?

Although I do question why these topics keep coming up - does it really matter?wavey_gravey

So long as women are still not finding respect from the community, it's INSANELY important! New gamer girls, or gamer girls who are not "outted" yet need to know that they can feel like they belong since more often than not when they look around at gaming they see mainly guys.

There might be a woman tossed in here and there but most gaming communities are vastly dominated by males which can make for an intimidating experience.

Same could be said for a guy, lets say he wants to take a class and finds out low and behold that it is heavily dominated by women, he might feel somewhat lost and in need of another "bro" to help him feel secure in an environment that he might not be accustomed to.

i completely agree. it's good to know that you're not alone, and when you are a minority it can be good to try to find others similar to you to identify with, if it suits you of course. i'm an engineer and that is still a male dominated field, and even though i never felt THAT alone being a female (mostly because that's just who i am), it was still very nice to know there were programs out there to get female engineers together. it's not everybody's cup of tea, of course, so it should never be forced upon someone, but it really does help even to just know there are others out there.

and it's not a whole "all women must band together!!!" kind of deal, either. there are plenty of females, gamer or non, that i dislike--just like there are plenty of males i dislike. still nice to know we're not alone.

the main reason i post in these threads is not to respond to the guys who are griefing the girls, it's to show the other girls who are likely reading these kinds of threads and posts that they aren't alone, even if they don't speak up and do not wish to join in the conversation. i'm not speaking for all females when i respond, but again maybe something i say, something i stand up for will affect another gamer in a positive way.
