I’m sick and tried of the weird looks I get on the bus every time I pull out by PSP or DS. So what, I’m a girl that games, GET OVER IT. It’s really getting old the reaction I get when guys find out I game. The best was when I wore my “I pwn noob” shirt to school and I had to explain to every person in the class what it meant. I understand they're all noobs but, get serious. I always get those people who talk to me about a game, thinking they know more because they’re a guy, and they’re surprise that I know what game their talk about. COME ON, do I have the word “NOOB” written on my forehead. It’s the same shit all the time, after I tell someone I’m a gamer, they refer to me as “the computer nerd” WTF??? Anyways this prejudice has to stop. Please Destructoid, help me stop this prejudice.

Woman gamers are a tough thing to find these days, at least a hot one at that, or one who could actually be considered a gamer. Playing occasionally is not gaming. I've never met one in my life too so I can understand that.

When the hour comes, and the signal is sent, the robots will eat these people. You are safe with us. 42.

--- eh screw em, I have alot of female friends that are gamers and its really no surprise to me to meet one thats well informed about games. There are many of you out there, those that find a surprise to it, don't really live around the technological world obviously. Women are not that hard to find within it.

Heh my girlfriend is one of those "omg hax!!!!" type of girls who wear the typical 'trend nerd' shirts. She enjoys the macabre games (Silent Hill, Resident Evil) like I do, but she also enjoys the cute games like Super Princess Peach. She's pretty nerdy, but I think she's awesome because she isn't embarrassed to whip out the DS in front of a large crowd. It's also great to have a significant other to spread my knowledge of games.

I don't think regular people get internet humour. Gamers are still a minority, and women gamers are a minority in the minority.... and are marginalized in the regular world and at least twice as much in the "gamer" community. Sorry that the social, economic, and political structures are patriarchies. I'm sure you will find at least a modicum of acceptance here.

Well I dont know any hardcore gamers who are women but I know alot of casual gamers who are women. I think that's why, we just expect them to be casual gamers. although the "i pwn noobs" shirt is a big hint but I haven't seen any ladies around here wear shirts like that

What youkilledmyguy said, there was this whole thing a few days ago about girl gamers. It's a shame you missed it.

Just ignore em. Except for maybe XBL, alot of people online understand your position

Some girl gamers are sexy.

Some are just nerds.

Destructoid can't help you however, so this is pretty pointless.

She plays Ratchet and Clank... I think that justifies that she is a gamer AND hawt.

I wonder if there ISN'T a girl in Japan who isn't obsessed with tentacle porn.

I can't think of a way to best express the way I say but get over it. I mean cereal...it won't change. Gaming is still prodominantly male, males like females and get excited when a females enter the ring...

I can cook, you know how many girls are shocked when I tell them that? why can't they just get over it?

What the hell are you doing out of the kitchen?

Seriously, what is Destructoid going to do to help you? You're a member of a niche culture. Of course people aren't going to understand it. Who cares what they think as long as you're content with yourself?
