I feel the same way in that I've been wanting to vlog or stream games, but feel discouraged. I'm wouldn't all out blame the current female streamers because it's not entirely their fault. They do shit to get viewers, but it's the shit they do that make it difficult for any other female to come onto the scene who is very good at gaming. I know lots of women who are awesome at games, but they wouldn't think of streaming only because of their audience. Mia Rose and the other streamers when I've watched do try to play the games, but they rarely play alone (someone is always on vent with them or playing in game with them) or they're getting tons of requests to play with them and the chat is filled to the brim with flirtations and other sexist crap. Not to mention anything she does is harshly critized. I'm not just talking appearance-wise. God forbid she didn't feel like putting makeup on or doing her hair when half the guys roll out of bed and play in their boxers... But making mistakes in games get an automatic, "You suck! Girls suck at games!" Everyone makes mistakes, but the guys get jokes and laugh about it while the girls are insulted to feel like shit. It sucks.

To be fair, I think a lot of gamers probably get shit when they suck regardless of gender. It's part of gaming culture, I think (which maybe extends from being part of male culture?). Still, it's kind of dumb, IMO.

I do hope things improve for girls who game in the future, though. It's changing, but we're not there yet...

Oh yeah, definitely. I've seen the guys get shit on too and I can't imagine it feels great either. I think it's the added generalization that tends to happens when a female player has a bad game it somehow gets turned into all women suck at games. For guys, from what I've noticed, it's mostly "so-and-so is way better than you!" which is still rude, but I don't find nearly as annoying and if it was said to me would be easier to shrug off.

I hope so too. Those booth babes at cons really need to go... or at the very least they could add some booth dudes XD

Yeah, booth babes annoy me...although admittedly if they had male cosplayers of characters from games pop up as eye candy sometimes I wouldn't mind, so I'd be OK with them giving us some equal opportunity booth beefcakes or something.
