You know where the main risk of sexism is in our gaming hobby? In the way
most gamers treat women, I don't have any statistics or anything but, the
two girl-gamers i know which i ocnsider friends agree with me on this. they
just want to be treated like the rest of the pals in the game. Not like the
little princess or with the plain terror that most gamers have when playing
with women. If they thought the games were sexist, they'll probably wouldn't
play. Amf, too much sexim discussion and I've gone ashtray and off-topic,
see, this list isn't good for you.
