I started Let's Playing with subtitles instead of doing a voiced LP, making me gender-neutral (There was never a need to mention my gender anyway). I didn't really "come out" as a chick until the end of it. It surprised some people, but by then, they'd watched an entire well-done, funny and informative Let's Play done by a girl and enjoyed it. A difference that makes no difference is no difference.

So screw stereotypes in both directions: that only slutty, pandering, unskilled girls play games (the skilled ones are unattractive!) AND that your audience will only like you if you pander to them. There's always an easy way out (shaking boobies), but the tougher route is more rewarding, and gives you a smaller, but more intelligent fanbase that actually respects you. Quality > quantity.

That's awesome to hear--and a great way to work around that problem, too. It's good to hear a personal anecdote on how it worked out. I'll try to remember to focus on offering good quality videos.
