  1. MzChaos Being a female gamer

    Player Chronicle -- Posted on Sep 10 2009

    So I work in a video game store, and love my job, have had it for 4 years. And there are more and more females appearing as hard core gamers, yet it still gets under my skin when a customer comes in and thinks I know NOTHING about video games, simply because I am female. Twice in the last week I have encountered situations. Yet my tenure with the company is far greater than any of the guys at my location, as well as my female boss. I had a customer come in and ask if I could recommend any great racing games that my brother or my husband play. I replied that my brother hates video games and that my boyfriend hates racing games. I said as for myself I like to shoot things in games.. A lot, and walked away Then he was all like "Oh wait you play the games??" Uh duh. And I had a customer call on the phone insisting that she needed to speak to male that was working for advice, stating I would be of no use, and insisted I knew nothing about the games cause I was female. GRRRRR!!! Ok done ranting..

    Its interesting, especially from a socioligical perspective. Why does this stigma, that girls/womenz/ladies don't play games, exist in the first place?

    I could always come up there and we could show them a thing or two!
    There is still that stigma, but we are working hard to overturn that.

    ECA, PMS Clan, well, we've been working hard for 6 years to get that mentality out of men's heads.

    That's why it's so great that we saw all the All-Ladies Teams at MLG Dallas.
    PMS Clan had 3, BAMF had one, DSO... it was such a great experiance.

    We'll get there! All-Female gamers, all the time!

    It's BS, I know...but sadly reality. I can imagine that must get quite annoying, but all you can do is keep your head up and keep proving yourself and in time things might change.
