1) Are you male or female? Male
2) How often do you play video games? Every single day
2-2) What genre of games do you prefer to play? I don't like to stick to a specific genre. I enjoy anything that I find fun. Though, mainly it is shooters.
2-3) Within this time, how much of this is spent on online games? (if none, skip to 5) None.
3) Within online games, do you prefer to choose a character based on your gender, or the opposite gender, and why? (if you only play as male, skip to question 4) skip
3-2) When playing as a female, do you use your characters gender to try to get freebies from other players? skip
4) When playing online games, do you treat female characters differently to male characters? If so, then why? (anywhere from giving them freebies to killing them for playing a 'guys game'. This includes being kinder to new players) skip
4-2) What is your general response to females in games that try to use their gender or sexuality for items/equipment/money? skip
5) What is your general thought when hearing the term 'Girl Gamer' or 'Gamer Girl'? Girl gamers are just gamers, who tend to be girls. Gamer Girls are the girls who pretend to be into gaming just to get the D, really.
6) How many female gamers do you know? (if 0, skip to question 7) probably more than 10, but all I can think of right now is 10 people.
6-2) Of the female gamers you know, including yourself if you are a girl, what majority are casual gamers? (social games, iphone games, etc) 4, maybe 5 of them are.
7) Do you think that casual gamers are real gamers, or not? It depends, really. I think, as long as you're playing a game of some sort, and are having fun doing it, you're a gamer no matter what. I think there's another term for a gamer, like hardcore gamer or something, that plays a lot of games to win.
8) Do you think there should be a market of games designed for girls only, or should it continue to be a unisex genre? Unisex. I don't think a single gender should be singled out like that. We're both equal, we should be treated equally.
9) Within games, what is your opinion on the sexualization of female characters? (from skimpy outfits to constant flirting with males (e.g. Mass Effect)) I have no strong opinion one way or the other.
9-2) Using the above as an example, what do you think could be done to fix this?
10) If you have anything else to add, please do so here as it will help the research data.
I'm going to add about 50.
