Girl gamers like the same games as men.

I don't know if, statistically, men and women are buying and playing the same games, but women are certainly a big part of the gaming community -- 47% in 2011 according to ESA.

In any event, female video game fans should be given the same opportunities and freedoms that male video game fans enjoy. They certainly shouldn't be considered second-class citizens. There are some industry veterans who are pushing this agenda forward -- Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill come to mind -- but there are many others who either ignore the problem or aggravate it.

You'd be surprised the things men and women share that you don't expect.

There is the same type of strain in the creative industry too when it comes to videogame art and design. After all, boobs sell, but it's not every girl cup to wants to draw sexy bare breasts, guns, creatures and machines all the time... though I know of quite a few girls who draw for a for-fun pinup artblog that I am connected with. A lot of those same girls are avid gamers.

Our taste appreciations of things may vary some, but we are extended across all genres. We still play a lot of the same games... same with art, we have a higher tolerance for cutesy style probably moreso than the men, but then again there are a ton of men who will play those type of games also and I've even noticed some people here with 'cutesy' avatars you would normally more or less associate with girls. However, they don't receive a "stigma" for it afaik.
