Judging from the article, wasn't it something like "we set x number of women up to try out these games and 70% of them chose male avatars"?
That doesn't mean that plenty of women don't routinely choose male avatars, though.
I personally still choose female avatars and just ignore or tell off anyone being inappopriate. I can see the appeal of male avatars, and I have considered it on occasion.
You know, I'm wondering if it's our fault too for not being assertive enough and telling annoying guys to just back the fuck off.
ReplyDeleteI also doubt that figure :) No way 70% of women gamers pick male avatars as their mains. But they might have at least one to test the waters.
