1) Most importantly, you must be hot, no exceptions. If you're not hot, you're not a gamer girl; just a girl who plays video games. 2) You must advertise that you're a female in all ways possible. The most popular way among the gamer girls is to post pictures of you half-naked or showing your cleavage. Remember, you're not a gamer girl if you're not showing your breasts! 3) You must use the less-than-three symbol (<3) and anime faces (^_^) EVERYWHERE. To be a true gamer girl, you have to spam cutesey things like that every chance you get. 4) You must act like gamer girls are such a minority, and since you're so rare, you are God's gift to all men. You must think all guys want you, and to even have your undivided attention for a small moment is a grand priveledge. 5) Also, you have to hate guys for making you the minority. It's completely THEIR faults that most girls would rather chase butterflies than orcs. Anyhow, guys suck at video games. Girls are sooo much better, woo!! 6) If you can't ever beat a stage, though, you can always just get a guy to do it. That's what they're there for, right? 7) If you lose to a guy, it's perfectly all right-- it's even almost cute. You're just a girl. What has become your reason to call guy gamers sexist pigs has NOW become an excuse, a crutch to lean on.
It's so sad that this has become the stereotype for female gamers. The worst part about it is that we as a gender are at fault-- we created it, not guys. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with embracing one's feminine side (I would be one hell of a hypocrite if I said guys can be masculine while girls cannot be feminine), but there is no need to advertise it like it's the most important thing about you. Isn't it funny how girls complain guys can't see us as equals, only as girls attempting to play video games? You whine because they treat us differently because we're girls, and then draw attention to yourself for being a girl gamer, and flaunt it everywhere. Guys who play videos games are just gamers, while girls who play video games have become gamer girls. You can't want to do away with a stereotype if you're the reason it exists.
Girls, this is embarassing. How can you expect guys to take us seriously if you're always begging them for help to win a relatively easy level? How can you expect them to take us seriously when we're giggling over Vent/Teamspeak just to hear ourselves speak? Or if we're spamming our Myspaces and Guild/Clan forums with pictures of us half-naked with a Wii controlled shoved in between our breasts? Or if we bitch about not being taken seriously because we're girls, and then when you suck, use being a girl as an excuse for sucking? While guys play games because they just want to play, girls act like they only play games to flirt and call attention to ourselves for being female. How can they take us seriously? How can they see us as equals if you keep TRYING to establish a difference between gender in the gaming world? And then, girls have the nerve to try to blame men on the stereotype WE have created! We say guys don't see us as equals because they're sexist pigs, right? They're not sexist, idiots. Grow a brain and realize they're only seeing things the way they are.
