Have you been Here !!!??? http://www.womengamers.com
Have a look and see why I sent them an Email with my comments below........
I sent this to QandA@womengamers.com
Here I go....
Some of the comments on your site are ridiculous.
You say that women are portrayed badly in computer games. Hello ? so please tell me what you have against Lara Croft, one of the strongest compterised characters ever ?? She has been designed to be a beutiful, heroic, strong adventurer type and I'm sure a role model to those in need of such a thing.
I notice that in most computer games, especially action and FPS games the characters are portrayed as the most desirable from all angles, in Q3, the women characters are just as strong - on an equal par to the blokes, they have a great range, from fat biffers, to slim, cool sunglass wearers, just as diverse and different as the male characters.
The male characters are generally pictured as strong "kick ass" "don't mess with me" types becasue the kinds of games in which they are in usually involve combat scenarios.
Strength is unarguably the most commonly desirable feature of a man. In the same way beauty is the most commonly desirable characteristic of a woman - by both men and women but they are still portrayed according to the scenario in which they have been placed.
Your site comments regularly that 50% of the gaming population are women. I'm sorry I can not beleive that for a second. if this were true then games WOULD be marketed more for women. In the same way, the majority of people interested in cars are blokes - this is a fact - so most car mags are designed for men.
In the exact same way, most people are right handed so the majority of devices / appliances are designed with the right handed in mind. I'm talking about majorities here, percentages - if you can show me any statistics that prove 50% of gamers are women, I will glady still not believe you - it simply is NOT the case.
No men complained when "My Little Pony" dolls were marketed towards girls - so what's your problem ?
We all love computer games but males like them more than females do - we are different. Will you ever concede this fact ?
Please don't be chicken and ignore this Email because I think it is important ! you say things on your web site that are nonsense. Maybe you should stop and think before you produce this kind of feminist material which ultimately is disparraging to males (its anti - male) You can't talk about equality when all you do is slag of the male population.
