10 is temporarily down, but judging from the comments I'm assuming it's about "girl gamers" and prejudice, sooooo

Most people I've met have either been fine with me being female and a gamer, or they just didn't say anything about it. Pretty much the only time I've ever dealt with any prejudice is actually from my own brother. See, I had just gotten out of surgery and he called to ask how I was and stuff, and we eventually started talking about video games. I mentioned that I had gotten Metal Gear Solid recently, and he was all shocked and said something like "I'm just kind of surprised, because... well, you're a girl. *laughs* I thought girls were all into Pokemon and Animal Crossing and stuff." He was kinda the same way last month when I said I got Splinter Cell for my birthday, and asked how I heard about it and stuff. As for me, I actually took both instances in stride -- just laughed 'em off and happily explained why I was interested in those games. Anti-climatic, I know :B

But yeah. I love my brother and everything, but SOMETIMES I WONDERRRRRR
