Talk to me again when the argument for talented girls is "because they're talented and I want to watch that" instead of "girls bad at games give us a bad image".

It does give us a bad image, though. If you don't think that the belief that girls are bad at games is a real and common thing, I don't know what to tell you, because I have experienced it myself many times as a female gamer.

And personally, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of people expecting me to not be good just because I'm a girl. I want more examples of women who are actually good at games instead of the same old stereotypes of girls who are bad at games, because yes, that DOES affect perception of female gamers as a whole.

So Suzy should either git gud or gtfo because she's personally responsible for the image of female gamers?

Re: da

[world_eater]

^ This. Don't make women responsible for the stereotype, make men people responsible for believing the stereotype.

As a female gamer I'm sick of female gamers shitting on each other for loving video games while not being good at them.

What's wrong with wanting to see a female gamer that's actually good at games? There are already more than enough male lets players out there so if they suck you can just ignore them. These gaming channels are for entertainment. Nobody wants to see a sucky player. Period.
'Oh she's just having fun' Good for her but don't put it on the channel if your shit at games.

Re: da

If you had bothered reading my other comments you would have seen that exactly the thing you mentioned would have been fine for me.

It's a representation issue. If there were more examples of women who didn't fit a stereotype, it wouldn't be s big a deal. It's the same when people get frustrated by examples from any other marginalized group. It will be nice when any example is okay and just appears as part of natural human variation. But as long as most examples show only one kind of person, and as long as a significant amount of the population take those examples as proof that their stereotypes are correct, I think people have the right to be frustrated and long for representation that goes against type.

[world_eater]

It's the same when people get frustrated by examples from any other marginalized group.

And it's just as bad there, how can you even use that as an argument? Homosexual men being shit on if they're being effimate, black women being shit on for being "ghetto", it's just as harmful and stupid.

Like srsly, don't.

This. People have every right to be upset when all of their so-called "representation" is harmful stereotypes that just perpetuate a negative view of a group as a whole. In that case, I think it's perfectly valid for them to say they'd sooner have no representation at all than more negative representation.
