1) Are you male or female?
Male
2) How often do you play video games?
Almost everyday
2-2) What genre of games do you prefer to play?
RPG/Adventure games
2-3) Within this time, how much of this is spent on online games? (if none, skip to 5)
Very little
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)
Always male, because I am
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)
I don't play many big online games, but if I do I will treat nice people nice and mean people mean whether you're a girl or a guy
4-2) What is your general response to females in games that try to use their gender or sexuality for items/equipment/money?
I really don't care who gives what to who, as long as everyone is okay with it then it's not of my concern
5) What is your general thought when hearing the term 'Girl Gamer' or 'Gamer Girl'?
I think it's so idiotic that their needs to be terms like these, but people use these terms to make a difference between someone who actually does like playing videogames and someone who tries to be a "nerd" or "real gamer" to get attention
6) How many female gamers do you know? (if 0, skip to question 7)
However many that I have talked to on this site
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)
0
7) Do you think that casual gamers are real gamers, or not?
If you like to play videogames, whether it be casual or hardcore I would say you're a gamer, but "real gamer" is not the right term
8) Do you think there should be a market of games designed for girls only, or should it continue to be a unisex genre?
If it aint broke don't fix it
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 haven't played many games that do this, so I don't really have an opinion on it
9-2) Using the above as an example, what do you think could be done to fix this?
