Fact: All fandom is mentality-specific, and WILL alienate people of certain kinds. Best example of shattering gender-specificity? My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Most fo the fandom is ....tatadadada: male. How do we kill all stereotypes? QUALITY!, the only universally appealing aspect. Which, unfortunately, is not how most of the world works, it's always easier to appeal to demographic than develop universally acceptable hi-end work of art.

@tkoizumi, interesting. But what do you mean by male gamers being robust? Are you talking about how we western gamers have a stronger presence or just that we're more vocal?

@Greyumopepisdn Good job!

I forget where I read the article, but a scientist also broke down that the reward center of the brain that activates when you solve a puzzle in a game shows more activity in males, at least 80% more than females, which goes back to the days of hunting and gathering.

I'm proud to say that my older sister is a gamer. In Harvest Moon 64, at least. And The Sims 2.

I'm a female gamer, playin video games has been one of my hobbies since I was 11 years old. I agree with this video that there aren't enough legit female gamers out there, but since I have been playing I have successfully turned 4 females into gamers :) They own consoles and have a wide range of games from Sims to Loz to DoA to Manhunt to Halo.

@RevolutionaryLoser Not only that. The designer had a reasonable version of Lara from the beginning. He put those boobs on her as a joke submission to higher-ups, satirizing how sexualized female game characters are. Then his bosses went and adopted the thing... Now -that's- ruining Lara Croft.
