I don't think 50% of gamers across all games are female. Last I heard League was like 70-30?


def not the case on diablo 2-3, I'd speculate I was outnumbered at least ~120:1 there.

I like some of the old school games and Rpg's best. Candycrap doesnt do it for me, and I can farmville IRL so that's out too.

If you stop thinking of them as "real" and "fake" gamers you might.


Not really.
If they are playing candy crush then they aren't a real gamer so being their friend would not give me a friend that is a real gamer.
Or perhaps you need to elaborate.

Not 120:1. Maybe closer to 80:20, 75/25. Across dedicated gamers, maybe more like 90:10. I promise more than 1% of people on D2 were female.

I thought that the gamergate proved this beyond all reasonable doubt, especially the backlash against the gals who brought it all up.

But to be fair, online gaming communities are very fucking toxic as is. I think any defining trait put forth would be attacked by someone.

I play a game in a pretty nontoxic community, but I think it is the exception. Any game full of kiddies is going to be a bunch of belligerent assholes IMO and nobody should take it personally.

Sticks and stones and all that. I know I have to watch my 9 year old daughter when she is playing games because creepy dudes will try to cyber with her in ROBLOX or some shit. There is some weird stuff going on in online kids games.


All gamergate proved was that gaming journalism is absolute shit.

I'd say the same of all journalism when it comes to critiquing your sponsors

NEW YORK (AP) — New York education officials are poised to scrap a test designed to measure the reading and writing skills of people trying to become teachers, in part because an outsized percentage of black and Hispanic candidates were failing it.

Do they have a test for actual teaching skills, rather than knowledge?
It's pretty obvious a test like that would just cut out all people who have English as a 2nd language.

it appears that the people have voted to lose large sums of money out of their pockets in order to get away from obamacare

i say this is a cause for celebration as it shows the principled stance many of our conservative residents have taken leading by example as they give up government subsidies, liberals ought to take some notes :o

why is an obvious multi + worthless troll allowed to even post his propaganda on here?

How far has jsp fallen into the depths of desperation?
