Default The Top 7... Girl gamer stereotypes
Quote:
For Norris’ sake, we all know that girls play games. They play “hardcore” games, "casual" games, strategy games, adventure games, fighting games, mind games, games games games all the time every day. Can we stop with the “girl gamer” nonsense?

Of course not, at least, not until we overanalyze every last stereotype you're subjected to. If you're lucky enough to be one of these "normals" we keep hearing about - you know, people who just enjoy playing games - be glad that you can't be lumped into a rigid category like those below.

We’ve already dissected a variety of other stereotypes (with insulting illustrations!), so don’t go saying we only pick on the ladies. We love women, some of us are women. As always, we're not hating, we're just saying.

You make a thread with the word "girl" in the title and look at the viewership.

I'm not the biggest fan either, to be honest. It makes it too serious and I just want to be having fun. You don't want to know how many times my roommate has stormed out of the room pissed off because some random guy halfway across the world sprayed and got a head shot in CS.

Let's face it, most people don't take losing too well. (Not that I do either lol. I def don't get pissed off about it though.)

Ahem, anyways--good stuff Krunk. The last one is awesome
