Hi :) female gamer here. There are a ton of us around and I think you should put that paint brush away. I own all the consoles, a gaming comp and my first purchase with saved birthday and holiday money was the OG Gameboy. I am also friends with other gal gamers. We are out there, but it is still very much an industry and world that makes it harder for us to be visible without being trolled. Love GI (apart from GameStop) and absolutely love what the MinnMax crew have going here. Keep it up and if you are able to have some ladies on for reviews then I'd totally be down for that!

Even tho female gamers make up a huge part of the market, I feel as if most of them don't go as far as men do in watching content, participating in discussion, and keeping up with recent releases, future releases, and industry news. I know it seems like I'm painting with a broad brush, but I talk games all the time at my job, and even tho some women will talk about games, it's the guys who seem more knowledgeable and up to date. In a bartender btw, so I get ppl from ALL walks of life. That's just my personal experiences

So maybe the 90% male thing has something to do with almost all of your audience at this point still being inherited from Gamestop Powerup Rewards upsells? (ahem: https://kotaku.com/gamestops-how-to-talk-to-women-and-shill-wii-non-games-5159031) Maybe as you continue to build your own identity - and hopefully find ways to include diverse and female voices - that will start to organically balance out?

As a female patron, the discussion about that in this podcast was super weird

The Flash IS more identifiable. Is this even a question?

Wow, didn't know that's what you studied Ben! I'm disappointed you haven't graced us with your theories of what Derrida, Foucault, and Lacan would say about The Outer Worlds! Lol
