I have to
confess that I have no idea whatsoever where this whole “Girls aren’t real
gamers” bullshit is coming from. I have theories, and I have suppositions,
which I may well share at the end of this, but for now, I just want to offer up
a corrective against the small but strident natterings of some of these chuckleheads
online who love to speak in Trollish and yearn for the downfall of society so
that John Norman’s vision of the planet Gor can finally come to pass. Side note
to the chuckleheads: all of those multitude of fantasy paperbacks from the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, you pick those
books to inform your sub-culture? Part of your problem right there is that you
have no taste.
