Karl looks into the whole aspect of 'fake gamer girls' and why gamers have to accept all types of gamers into our culture.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
Oh boy. Look, we are a niche culture of people who have a niche hobby. Historically, gamers, comic book nerds, and geeks of all kinds have been shunned, ostracized, and bullied by these types of people. I don't care who plays games, or who tries to become a gamer. But there is one prerequisite... And that is playing games. Not just using them as a fashion accessory, and not just gnawing on controllers to impress boys.
i love them because there gorgeous, yeah im shallow so what.
in all seriousness, i cant see how anyone can like fake gamer girls or fake youtube gamers for that matter, its kind of an insult actually,its just basic posering,and the whole licking controllers thing or saying oh i love angry birds, mario,tetris, or call of duty you know the basic mainstream games, to make you seem like a hardcore gamer just shows how they really arent gamers,now someone like janina gavankar i truly believe is a gamer, and not these typical posers.
Better question: Why should you glorify posers? Just because they're girls?
No thx
They're essentially making fun of our passion. Why would we be okay with that?
At the same time, it's marketing, so it does go both ways (like a lot of the girls probably do), but that's not the point.
What if we made fun of their passion? That shit wouldn't fly and there would be an outrage. Double-standards.
I will be the first to say that fake gamer girls are the worst, but let's not start labeling all girl gamers as fake, OK? Still, the blatantly obvious ones... have at em'.
