I'm so sick of these ShitTubers who use female figureheads in hopes to gain more views with sex appeal. Fact of the matter is, males dominate gaming, and for good reason. The same reason women dominate fitness, cooking, gardening, and fashion. Why don't feminists bitch about shit like this? Oh wait, that's right, it benefits them.

    ...you do realize that women play video games too, right? Also, friendly warning: please dial down the blatant sexism. If you want to post your criticism, that's fine but do so in a manner that doesn't broad brush a portion of our population (and members of this website). Thanks.

    [quote]...you do realize that women play video games too, right?[/quote]More men play video games (not including arcade or mobile games, or FB games like Farmville) than women. That's a statistical fact. Sure, it's rising some due to different marketing techniques from industries hoping to reach out to more people, but not by a significant margin, especially to where we'll ever see a 50/50 ratio of men and women gaming. And how are facts sexist? I think I may have been a little bit broad on the fitness bit (should have said "yoga" or other forms of alternative fitness rather than simply "fitness"), as well as the cooking bit since men actually dominate positions as chefs and restaurant owners (however, women have been public figureheads for cooking for many years now, think Rachel Ray who had her own show, Paula Deen, and it's only recently changed), but besides that I'm right. There's a reason people like Anita Sarkeesian and Falicia Day have become infamous among gaming communities that aren't deluded with political bullshit and think games like Gone Home are "revolutionary". I can go on forever with many more examples like the female livestreamer who's been GIVEN literally thousands of dollars for playing games with a camera pointed at her cleavage. Fact of the matter is, if they weren't women, no one would give a single shit who they were. Edit: Before I'm banned for facts, I'd like to mention one more example: ScreenTeam. You can view them [url=http://www.youtube.com/ScreenTeam]here[/url] so I don't have to even bother explaining the same old pattern again.

  • So because of that, you just assumed that she is just there to draw in viewers?

  • It's a Rooster Teeth production channel, I already know. I've seen her videos when she initially started at RT. She does over half the videos on that channel. Is she really [i]that[/i] good? I'm not a Rooster Teeth fanboy, so I wouldn't really honestly know since I don't follow her or any of those plebeians.

  • To put it bluntly, she isn't one of those who pretend for attention. She is an actual gamer. She only does most of the news reports because she's good at doing it.
