Girl-on-Girl Gaming
Occasional GameGal contributor Bonnie Ruberg has a great article up on the Killer Betties website, about the lesbian gaming community. "If women gamers are a minority in the video game world, then lesbian gamers are a minority among women gamers," writes Bonnie. Here's a clip:
"Just what do lesbians play? Those interviewed cited The Sims as a unanimous favorite. After that, however, the answers were very eclectic - ranging from sports games to fighters to first person shooters. It is, of course, impossible to make blanket statements about lesbian likes and dislikes. They may have in common that they seek out game environments where they feel comfortable as homosexuals, but they’re still individual people with individual interests. You can’t have fun without feeling welcome. And like everybody else, lesbian gamers are playing, in the end, to have a good time."
