Spandex Fantasies
People working on the gender in gaming issue might already be familiar with
http://www.gamegirlz.com. One
article in particular was very interesting.
GameGirlz Features: Women in G-strings addresses the issue of what the women in games are forced to wear. Here we have a group of women who enjoy playing action/shooter-type game who feel turned away from the genre due to the types of clothing their online avatars are wearing (or
not wearing). The article is not very substantive, but it does address yet another obstacle women are finding in the world of computer gaming.
