Hey idiot boy...take a look at my web page and tell me I'm a fat ugly chik. I'm not. I personally can take care of myself and I'm a computer geek and a major gamer. I'm thinking I could kick your ass anyday in Half Life or Quake kiddo. Not all gamer chiks are fat, ugly dykes. There are a few of us that are good looking and have brains
Every day I'm reminded of jsut how much of a minority I am being a female in the computer industry. But you know i don't mind it at all. yeah so I'm not like other girls and I love playing Quake and kicking ass, but that's jsut cause I am that one in a million. Personally that article was offensive to me as a female, simply because she takes a stand as if her word is that of all women everywhere. When in truth she isn't. So what if there aren't many females in the computer industry, there's a reason for that. Women usually(and I don't mean all femmes) don't even have a logical enough mind for computers in the first place, cause those things just aren't taught. i grew up with an older brother and always excelled in things like math and science and loved it and did it without a single thought to if it was feminine or not, I just knew I was smart. And now here I am making a living breaking and fixing computers for a living and loving it.
As for that "phallic" joystick. Gimme a break. She must not be getting laid cause there is absolutely NO WAY to not make a "phallic" joystick. It's a stick. If she thinks it loks phallic then we can obviously tell what she's thinking about too much and not getting. I think maybe frigid may be an understatement.
Most women don't play computer games like quake. Well most chiks aren't violent killing types. (although there are a few of us that love counting frags and kicking ass) The gaming industry is directed at guys cause that's where the money is, plain and simple. Girls jsut aren't into that kinda thing. If there was a gaming mag out there directed at the female populace it would be an empty magazine simply cause companies aren't going to go out on a limb to make an awesome looking game directed at femmes jsut to lose money on it. How can female gaming market be failed when there isn't really one.
In her article she so unsubtly points out the new Q3 ad and makes sure to point out the sexy, busty femmes. Would she rather they were fat ugly females in the ads instead? I think not. I know I wouldn't wanna see that. (plus think of the poor programmers that would have to write that...eeek )
Half the gaming community isn't female. Cause if that were true then I wouldn't be the only chik I know that's into games like Quake and Half Life. I wouldn't be ther only female at my work. And the computer gaming industry would have more females working in it. (although PC Gamer does have 1 femme reviewer)
All in all I think she needs to get laid and get a grip. She doesn't need to whine about it, she needs to do asomething about it if it bothers her so much.
Okay now I'm done..and I likely sound like a freak...but oh well.
