Re: "Real gamer girls"

Agree with anon above me.

There's nothing wrong with asking "are there ladies here who game who have an opinion on these ladies?" or something to that effect. But you managed, with one phrase, to both use "gamer girls" (a phrase that insinuates that women who game are an anomaly and a special category of gamers) and "real gamers" (dredging up the old debate about who is "allowed" to call themself a gamer and basically being really elitist about it).

If you really didn't know, then I'd encourage you to think about these things, anon. I was blunt with my comment below, though I'm not trying to be an asshole. But I also don't like being characterized as an exotic special unique exhibit of gaming, and I also don't like the elitism and cred wars that are so commonplace in parts of the larger gaming community.
