Well, what is a proposed solution to bring in more females without compromising the inherit traits of the site?

Personally I'm totally okay with this sausage fest, but I do agree that we should have an environment that's more accessible to anyone that likes gaming and sales.

One thing I noticed from the comments in this thread is that there seems to be a general unawareness of the presence of females here - hence the constant locker-room humour.

Perhaps if females actually showed that they were female on their profiles, there's a chance it might tone itself down naturally without being moderated.

on a general level that could make things shift in a better direction naturally over time as you said, but on an individual level some female users will attract a lot of unwanted attention that way

That is true.

Maybe if the general level improves, though, it might allow the mods more time to focus on dealing with those more difficult issues on an individual level.

The pervasive sexist culture of gaming in general actively discourages and punishes female participation.

This. Everyone; read this. I'm actually kinda sick and tired of gaming culture since it's sexistic as fuck, both among gamers and developers. You've seen Samus Arans latest outfit in SMash right? That's what's wrong with the gaming industry as a whole. It's abigger issue than the AAA industry

That outfit was designed by a woman though

That doesnt really matter though. Its still pandering to male fantasies in a way that makes this media a lot more juvinile than most care to admit



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Sad but true. Might need to hang it up soon kirby.
