Early in gaming women were a big minority of players. How do you sell a game to a teenage boy, put sexy women in it.
ehh, I think everybody played pong.
but I would counter that by saying early in gaming (Atari 2600 and up) companies almost exclusively targeted boys via advertising so of course you'd be more likely to find boys playing.

As far as bows and colors used to differentiate female from male characters, I chalk it up to laziness of the developers.

every example she's using, they're all games with no story or character development
quote:I also agree. Of the 5 or 6 video game related videos she's created, I found this one to be the best, but that isn't saying much considering the others are tripe. Maybe I was entertained by this one because it felt more like a snapshot of female video game characters and less like a treatise on how evil male game developers are somehow oppressing women?
I just have a hard time taking her seriously whenever her arguments suck complete arse.

This is interesting because I read what he said yesterday and he was quick to point out that he doesn't know any facts so he addressed the if true and if not true situation. I'm not a big fan of his but he handled it well and she still got mad.

Believe this is it.
No idea if it has been edited since the original post.
edit: They have a link at the top with a revised version.
She caught so much shite for the original article she had to revise it and post a new link.This post was edited on 8/20/14 at 5:23 pm

Yea I don't know what she wanted out of that.The guy was more honest that most people would be and she wanted him to start a giant social discussion.

Juicy...
ETA: She is pure garbage. Dudes falling heads over heels for her? The game is all messed up. Dudes need higher standards.

Aw, you decided to edit the end. Was looking forward to the conversation.
Yea, it was late.. I only get on at work, and I figured it would start a discussion. So I opted not to get blasted while I was away.

Just watched the video. Not surprised. I don't follow video game news besides release dates so I don't really care for those shitty sites.
Gamers are generally not the alpha males of society, so I can see why they're putting this bitch up on a pedestal.
