I have two friends that play Counter-Strike: Source, TF2, and a few other games and they are both my best friends. I also don't think that Girl Gamers should get as much attention as they do, I mean, they're people who are playing a game to enjoy it, why can't they just play it without hearing a kitchen joke?
Well, unless they're asking for the attention, then give it to them.
Because prepubescent guys like to ridicule people just to entertain their stupid friends. My sister plays online games as well, and she always gets an earful of kitchen jokes and other nonsense from kids that are desperately trying to fit in with their peers.
I was personally saying that, I am 25 and practically married, and I have been disgusted by the fact that marginally attractive women and girls get so much attention for their streams and LP's,(some are good) while excellent LP,s done by males are ignored.
But IRL i do not know one female gamer , and I know alot of women .
so idk

One of the ones I've seen a bit is "GIRL = Guy In Real Life", heh.
I dunno, as a chick myself I haven't really gotten all that many sexist jokes. And if they do I usually shoot comments right back at 'em 0 and then we're either friends or continue on with our interweb funs, and ignore each other's existences. And then again I tend to play male characters a lot... Not to 'fool' people or anything, but cause they tend to look better than female characters in most of the games I play hah, I don't want to look like a **** in a mini-skirt.
eh... You'll always have people who are immature or what have you. You just need to ignore them, cause like other people have said, they are just looking for attention, or trying to fit in.
I don't like it any more than you do... it makes us look bad... lol
I plead the fifth. If I answer, I will incriminate myself, and therefore someone will then shout "rule 49!" at me.
Other than the fifth, I do not personally know of any girl gamers apart from Hannah from Yogscast, and even then, shes just someone I have heard of, not chatted with.
In my world, I seem to be the weird outcast, but I'm use to that. Who wants to be normal...prrppph. Crazy is more interesting.
True to stereotypes most females I know are obssessed with clothing, shoes, hair, nail polish, babies, fabric, sewing, and a never-ending list of conversations I would not wish upon even my worst enemy. I'd rather hang out with blokes and talk about cars.
My girlfriend. Hell, we met through gaming, even. My sister, to an extent. They both play MMORPGs and more casual games, like Sims, Minecraft, etc. But, gamers nonetheless.
I know tons. For instance, my wife and most of my friends' wives. I ran a game design community for almost a decade and there were a lot of women who posted there (in fact, I married one of them!). If anything, I'd say that slightly more than 50% of people who play online multiplayer games are female.

I have a girl friend (Take note of the space between "Girl" and "Friend" people!) and she's a big gamer. Loves MMO's. TOR and GuildWars 2 being on her list of games to get. She plays WoW on occasion. She's awesome at Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. Only one of my friends that can beat me on it. The others sit in their bases and build super-weapons while I build a cosmic ****ton of bombers and fighters and level their bases to the ground.
Or some walking boats if their bases has water access.
My older sister and several of her friends have been gamers longer than many people on this forum have been alive. One of my former coworkers who was in her early 50's was a gamer. Several people on the minecraft server I play on are women. I think a lot of people would be surprised how many "girl gamers" are out there. It's just that not all of them want to be recognized as such because they don't want that kind of attention from random guys online. When you're playing a game, it really doesn't matter what sex the other people are.

That's what I'm saying.
Let's say you're on a server in TF2. All of the people on there are gamers, why does it matter what sex you are?
