The FragDolls

After reading this great interview with the girls that make up the gaming team FragDolls, I can't believe some of the bullshit that they have had to put up with from people, people who might consider themselves gamers. I can't see any problem with girls/women becoming gamers and taking up the hobby of gaming, in fact I think it's fucking great. I am so sick an tired of all these "kiddies" who think that they are the proverbial "bizomb", getting online and just talking trash to other people. When girls game, they do just that, they game! They take it seriously, it's so goddamn refreshing.

I don't want it too seem like I've got it in for other people who game online, because there are many guys out there that take gaming online a bit more seriously and have some fun. But there are some people who have to ruin it for others, I've been in online games that are more like a fucking chatroom that a game.

The other thing that got me was that they were castigated for being sponsored by UbiSoft?! So what! A team of gamers has a sponsor, what the hell is wrong there! Maybe I've got it wrong, but if it was a team of guys who had just gotten a sponsor they would be praised and congratulated.

Anyway, I hope that we see more female gamers in the future and that people start to take them seriously and give them the respect that they deserve. Because to be honest it can't be easy when your trying to get noticed in a predominantly male dominated hobby.
