I personally would like to see more girl gamers.

Then you do not want to see more "Frag Dolls".

The Frag Dolls, as you pointed out, are a marketing gimmick.

"GURLZ DAT PLAY GAMES LOL"

If they were really a "Gaming Clan" as they just love to advertise, you would see them on the CPL or MLG circuits. Not at UbiSoft PR events and the like. They're actually doing more harm than good in the process.

All female gaming groups are cool, but the majority of them fall into the "WE'RE GIRLS AND WE PLAY GAMES LOL WE KICK UR ASS BOYZ!!1 ACCEPT US!" groups where it becomes less about acceptance and more about exclusion by means of their own actions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's no need to. The margin between male and female gamers is smaller than it's ever been. There are plenty of women out there playing video games and this has never been a secret.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Have you noticed they don't partake in the gaming?

Every Friday, Microsoft begs to differ.

You are the problem. You, for some reason or another, fail to recognize that you are, in fact, accepted.

In fact, you're not even a minority. So calm down.

The female gamer, especially a competitive one, is constantly bombarded with negative images and stereotypes. If more groups like Fragdolls were in existence-

Wow. Stop right there please.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hey, if Devo wants to help set back the Womens rights movement a couple of more decades, then she can be my guest. I won't stand in your way anymore

I was speaking idiomatically.
