Girl Gamers are the ones that look for attention.  The ones that use the idea of them being a “rare” human being for female empowerment.  The ones that use it to “belong” or to be “wanted.”

Gamer Girls are the ones that know that you’re playing Link when you play Legend of Zelda.  The ones that know that Samus Aran is one of the earlier female video game protagonist.   The ones that actually know what NES stands for and the ones that doesn’t ONLY play Call of Duty.  We are the ones that know that it doesn’t matter whether you’re a male or female; just play the damn game objectively/strategically and be in it for the win! 

The distinction is created with what word is emphasized. With girl coming after gamer in the name “GAMER GIRL” then you’re emphasizing that this person is a GAMER that just so happen to be a woman.  

You may be reading this wondering — well who fucking cares? And honestly.. I DO.  I’m a gamer girl that doesn’t WANT to be pooled in with Girl Gamers.  I take pride in my hobby, in what I like to do and what I like to spend endless hours of my life thinking about and doing.  I eventually want to make a living out of this hobby but it’s hard to start on that when you’re not being taken seriously.  

Thank you for your time.  Rant ends here.

I agree 100% !
