Can women be "true" gamers?

Doesn’t mater at this point, many independent developers and internet platforms to sell.

There is money to be made and lots of it, someone is going to make it. Praise the lord for free market capitalism.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

I’ve only known one girl who was in fact a true gamer. This was back during Medal of Honor Rising Sun and Socom 1/2/3 on the PS2. Her name was Leah and she was in a clan that played our clan almost every night.

She was as good as the rest of us and was the only girl in any clan we played against back then.

She didn’t cause drama or anything, just played the game with us.

I knew of only one, and I’m just assuming she was a girl because she said so. Name was like KillerGirl or some such, on Battlefield 4. She was above average player and part of a clan, killed me quite few times, and I returned the favor just as much. She was not quite as adaptable as me, but better than most of the male players. She was very dangerous (almost untouchable) in specific situations, while I tend to be dangerous nearly everywhere.

I view such women as possible, but as anomalies, like Marie Curie or Ayn Rand. They exist in small numbers, are very good at something, but you still can’t take that admiration and transform it into NAWALT because they might bite off your dick during a blowjob.

Exceptional women are like those wolves or lions you read about that almost seem tame towards certain humans. If I was in one of those situations with a wolf or a lion, in the back of my mind would always be the possibility that one day I’m going to get my face bitten off.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I play two mmo games, eve and wow so I don’t consider myself a gamer. I have noticed the rare time I played with a girl that she couldn’t shut up.

They can be but it’s uncommon. I have been. A gamer for almost 15 years. In my opinion it takes playing games for 2 calendar years and playing multiple genres of games (RTS, MMO, MOBA, fps). Playing only one game genre for a long time doesnt count.

If you hand a gamer a keyboard or controller. In about 5 min they can probably pick up and play just about any game.

I know a few women who would call themselves gamers, but I would say they play games vs they are a gamer.

When I played WoW there were 3 women in guild that raided. 2 hunters and a shammy. One of the hunters ended up a healer, but the other two could only really play their one or two classes and could only dps on them. One had 3 hunters and I think 4 mages, another had multiple classes but only one they had the skill level to raid on. Don’t get me wrong though I knew a few guys that could only play one or two classes but they were usually a tank, not giving them a pass just saying it is on both sides. The roles they playes was different. In general males play tank and heal with dps as last choice or cause it is needed. Females almost excluaively played dps, only role in game with no responsibility.

I on the other hand had 5 raid ready that could tank or heal, and could play they well enough to cover for others mistakes. Cause as everyone who played wow knows if someone died it was the healers fault…

Know it was a long rant but to cover it was only way to get it all worded.

Hope that someday I may lead others the path I have learned. As Virgil led Dante through Hell.
