The evolution of girl gamers

Boy gamers are so self-centered they act as though women haven’t been playing video games for decades, and then act horrified when the female gamers who have always been there actually become visible and vocal about the rampant misogyny that has infected the gaming world. 

Like seriously, how entitled do you have to be that women saying “it sure would be nice if I wasn’t treated like shit while enjoying the games I play” translates to “I must be catered to” when video games have LITERALLY been catered to men for decades? 

More like:

• 1993 - 64% of girls reported playing video games 
• 1996 - “home use had increased for fourth grade girls”
• 1998 - “both male and female adolescents play video games on a regular basis." 
• 1999 - "88% of the female college students … surveyed were video game players.”
• 2007 - 20-47% of adolescent girls play video games
• 2008 - “94% of girls play video games”
• 2010 - “Forty percent of all game players are women.” 
• 2012 - “Women 18 or older represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (30%) than boys age 17 or younger" 
• 2013 -"adult women are nearly half of all video game players”

I didn’t get all the dates, but I think you can get the point.

Also considered posting my own personal gaming history, but I would’ve had to go back to the 80s for that. e_e

Been playing since I was old enough to hold the NES controller.

Faces from around the world.

Meet the world’s Mrs Averages: Scientists blend thousands of faces together to reveal what the typical woman’s face looks like in 41 different countries from around the globe

• Pictures of hundreds of women were used to create an average
• Images of women from 41 differentethnicities were laid over one another before a computer programme deduced the common look
• Created by online tool hosted by experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow

[FOR MORE FACES]

An actual fuck-ton of average face compilations.

[CLICK THE LINK. They have an enormous variety of average faces, even beyond ethnicity (like modern vs. golden age actor facial averages). This website is the shit. Check it out.]

gonna be straight with all of you: the biggest failure of Homestuck is that this sprite didn’t make it into Seer: Descend and therefore did not produce a fandom trend of Rose pinching John’s cheeks. terrible.
