Not Just Playing House
RexDart writes "Tom's Hardware has posted an interview with the founders of PMS Clan, the high-profile, international female gaming group with the mission of 'providing a fun and competitive environment for female gamers in a wide variety of first person shooter' games. They speak out on topics from how to get started and what to play, clan organization, censorship, online harrassment, and the role of female characters in games. Plus, why and how they allow males in their group as well."
Could it be because they're not actually that great when it comes to gaming? Could it be that, *gasp*, like some other gaming groups and clans of females, they're really just hired models, funded by a corporation, designed to invoke the "oh, HOT!" response in the male crowd?
Nah. Must be that woman gamers actually DO look like porn stars, that women DO like to cuddle, kiss,and have naked pillow fights with each other, and that, although they discuss how much they hate Lara Croft for being a sex symbol, and want more realistic women in games, they, like all women, love being objectified and wearing tight pink shirts.
Aaaah. Corporate-sponsored feminism.
