You would think so.

Hmm, we're getting off topic.

Man, you're good, DarkZelda! ;D But, really, why should female gamers get dissed like that? I suppose it's just another stereotype getting in the way of things.

simply because most people have identify gaming with guys. same thing as when you give a little boy a toy truck, toy gun, or toy tool set, while you give a little girl tea sets, dolls and dollhouses, and dress-up clothes. those items people have identified with the genders. lucky for me, i was always around the guys, i got a Tonka truck at age 4, and i basicly just was a tomboy. i hated (and still do) dresses, skirts and heels; nail polish, and other "girly things". its just what me, myself, and i like. it fits my personality, and i dont give a shit to all the crap that people give me about being a girl gamer. its like giving a guy crap because he sews or somthing.

im not one for stereo types. jsut let females playvideo games.

i found somthing on girls and gamers. here is the link:

I totally agree with you. I HATE sterotypes, and for girls the most. It's sad nowadays that if a girl is really good at a sport, she's called gay. If anyone goes out of the gender sterotypes, there called gay. I HATE THAT!  >:(

I love shopping, flirting, make up, boys, clothes etc. And Gaming and I am a girl. I grew up with a big bro who always had games and I just got it from there. none of my   girl m8s (except for the online 1s) like Gaming. I have some close boy mates who are into Zelda and I love them but at school I dont really hang out wiv them. I think loads more girlz should get into gaming because it is sooo fun and a real escape that calms ya down.   :D
Also boy gamers aint geeks they r usually cool and the ones in my class r funny and sum r really hot!
BTW  Stuff like gaming unites peeps (cheesy but bear with me) I hardly talked to the boyz in my class b4 but now we have common ground its easy and we can talk about most stuff  ;)   ;)

But sterotypes make life easier.  (Note:  I would say this in a sarcastic tone.)

So, you agree with me on the laziness part, right?

But, if more girls got into gaming, guys and girls would be more..."connected," so to speak, and we'd probably understand each other more.

We do need more girl gamers.  DOWN WITH THE STEROTYPES!

I absolutely LOVE  Zelda, but as I said my bro got me into it. most of the Games for Girls are Barbie and the princess type stuff. Nintendo should show the world how to make better games with main girl characters that are independent, adventurous but still sassy! ;)

I heard that Zelda/Tetra took part of the fight in TWW.  I think that should be proof enough, but I have a suggestion for Nintendo if they need a girl character.

Wait, they have Samus Aran.  But the trouble with that is not many people might know she's a woman.  I didn't know that until a few years ago.

Yeah but all she did was stand at the side shooting light arrows. But I think Tetra is a good example of the sort of character more games need as the main character ;)

Hey, it was something.

In my LoZ fanfic, Link has a daughter that sort of takes over for him. ;D
