I have a semi unisex name for a reason. It bothers me that people can automatically assume gamers are male. Unless the person's tag is basically saying I'm a gamer girl. That term bugs me too. 'Gamer girl' Every one of us is a gamer alike. Does It matter the sex of the person? I just feel that this is a very big issue that I feel needs to be addressed in a brighter light.

Honestly, you cannot change this stereotype for a long time. I'm sure it has been addressed many times before but people just don't really care about it in general. I know what I'm saying is a negative thing to say but there is still hope to stop this stereotype. It might take ages but it will be stopped one day. Like what your doing right now, stating the issue helps bring more awareness to the community. For me, whenever I join a random raid group or my friend's group. There is always some kind of harassment towards them because of being a "girl". I hate that so much. I would always say "Sit the -blam!- down and shut up! Apologize to her or get out!" They usually do shut their mouths and other times they leave. But my point is just keep playing, do what your doing and ignore what the ignorant bastards have to say. Also don't stop spreading the awareness!
