2012 Year of the Female Gamer

Gamer Living calls 2012 as the Year of the Female Gamer. "Time and time again in 2012, they made themselves known to the world. Video games aren’t just for boys. Many females have been chastised for playing video games, but none so publicly as Madam Senator Colleen Lachowicz, Democrat for the state of Maine.....a level 85 World of Warcraft player......last November, Twitter exploded with reactions under the hashtag #1reasonwhy after Kickstarter employee Luke Crane posed the question, “Why are there so few lady game creators?” Gamers and industry people of both genders posted responses that were all over the place, but in the end, the point was made: Women play games, create games, and love gaming."

Rachel Quirico, above, an eSports Journalist with the Cyber Sports Network started out as a female gamer. In an interview with Team Dignitas, Rachel said: "Gaming, unlike traditional sports, allows for all kinds of people (old, young, disabled, homebound, otherwise unaccomplished) to excel at something and to be rewarded for it.....As a player, attending LAN events and winning tournaments, I fell in love with competitive gaming. I would walk to the student center in the snow for a better connection for practice, I'd try and encourage other girls from my clan, PMS, to compete with me, and I made a ton of friends and traveled more than I ever thought I would."

Anna Prosser gamer girl interview

Anna Prosser is the manager for the Portland-based pro gaming team Evil Geniuses and travels to eSports events around the world. The Oregon native talks about the sexism undercurrent that still exists in the male-dominated video game competitions and the growing opportunities that are opening up for female gamers, in an interview with Forbes:

I grew up with a computer nerd for a dad, so he was always building us newer and better PCs for gaming before anyone else on the block. I remember playing Captain Comic and Commander Keen in our little basement for hours on end.....In my adolescent years, when all my guy friends got Xboxes for Christmas, and then wouldn't let me play because Halo was for boys, I made myself content with watching and talking about the games. In short, from my point of view, video games were always something that I did not only for love of the sport, but to interact with those I loved....At Oregon State University I met Evil Geniuses team captain Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson (who, incidentally, is now my fiancé) and he introduced me to the world of professional gaming.

The way I see it, as long as our cultural awareness and the values system of our community continues to grow with the size, you will see more women in the same roles as their male counterparts: competing, casting, creating content, and running the business! Statistically, co-ed business teams perform better than all-male or all-female teams, and most of the big eSports organizations (go Team EG!) are definitely starting to recognize that......For the most part, there aren’t any inherent barriers preventing females from competing or placing well at eSports tournaments. As far as I can tell, the barriers to girls becoming professional players or eSports personalities have been mostly social. As we see the numbers balancing – girls and boys alike growing up together, accepting each other as gamers – I believe we will see the skill gap begin to close as well.

Anna Prosser was Miss Oregon last year and competed in the Miss USA competition. She talks about how racer Danica Patrick competes while keeping true to her feminine side: "In my opinion Danica is a fantastic example of what a female role model in a male-dominated industry must be. She must produce results that stand up to the competition of their peers, regardless of their gender, and she must remain true to herself, celebrating and expressing her gender in an authentic way! It can be tempting to hide the more feminine sides of oneself – to act like “just another one of the boys” in order to fit in to a heavily male industry, but Danica is very much a woman, and I respect how unafraid she is to express that."
