Questions for a female gamer

[Kosheh]

So, there is a small chance that I might actually be running a Panel at a con about being a female gamer.

Thats only if I can make it or not, if not, then I'm at least gonna write a thing for them to use about my experience as a female gamer, and thats were you guys come in.

I wanna make sure that if I can't go and write up a thing, that it pretty much covers everything.

ok we're friends and all kat but like

can this panel be spun in a different way, and not "I'm a gamer with Supple Lips And Child Bearing Hips! AMA!"

like, who cares about girl gamers in 2014? why should i give a shit if you like survival horror games?
imo, this whole issue nowadays is as racy as "girls who enjoy watching movies"
i could see this being a Hot Topic in the mid-90's as gaming was picking up but most of the marketing being tailored to boys -- honestly, sometimes nowadays i feel like there's a whole victimization here which only further feeds the flames and the purported misogyny within the gaming community. Saying "yay, we're girls who love playing games! rawr!" is just going to get girls more flak imo :/

like, okay, i get that there is an issue - girls get a lot of shit just for being girls who play games that they enjoy. all right. okay. maybe i "dont understand" because i have Evil, Unforsaken Seedbearing Loins. I mean, someone who's very close to me is deathly afraid of playing videogames in public on account of the misogyny she might receive because she isn't a gaming savant and that some sleazy neckbeard is going to verbally abuse her, talking shit like "here's how a REAL MAN plays Sonic!!" - but in 2014, that's just not true. There's a fair amount of girls who grew up watching Sonic SATAM or playing the old Genesis games...

i mean, you don't see "Boy Gamer Playing Call Of Duty" or "Proud Gay Gamers" or "Fat Black Man Plays Final Fantasy XIII - Look At Dem Lightning Booty Buttcheex" - honestly, I'd try to make a tongue-in-cheek presentation about how horrible some of the stigmas within the gaming community are (and poke fun at them, maybe presenting "what girls in the gaming community SHOULD 1do") and to prove to everyone that girls don't play exclusively play Kingdom Hearts or whatever the general bigotry is over at the same time. If you're just going to have girls say "yeah, i love video games that guys play" you're either going to get heckled or loud snoring from the audience
