When will these cr@p stop? People are always talking about "female gaming". Why can't they just let it go and move onto the stereotyping of nerds instead. They don't wear thick glasses and have big front teeth.

there was a response written here:

it seemed pretty level-headed and more realistic in its views than some of the "stop paying attention to girls."

Wow... Why can't a girl pick up a controller without having someone say YOU play video games?

I was working on writing a response to the Kimi Rom article for Hooked Gamers and seeing all these articles... it is too overwhelming for me to handle.

I'm done giving this attention and when these boys are ready to act like adults, I'll talk to them. Until then...

Key word, boy.

Bart Simpson said something today that, for me, hits the nail on the head....

"Why would anybody want to touch a girl's butt? That's where cooties come from!"

[RareXfactor007]

Why an't people just leave the girl gamers alone? I don't actually care if your a girl or a boy, if you pwn me or I pwn you I'll say it was a good game. Why can people stop saying all girl gamers use their bodies? Not all do. The Frag Dolls are a good example, in which the response article used. Some men should just stop being so damn sexist and just have fun in the gamers they play with no matter what gender

Best thing to do. Probably nothing you can say or do to change the narrow-minded, knuckle dragging heathen's mind anyway. The ego just won't let some accept the fact they got taken down a notch by a girl (little sister in front of their buddies probably). It is a shame that this kind of garbage continually pops up. I don't see what a person's sex has to do with their ability in the world of FPS or gaming as a whole but that's just me.

Actually, it should be expected that female gamer would be better at twitch gaming than s male. Females naturally have stronger fine motor skills than males.
