Abstract

This paper inquires about the communication experience of feminine individuals entering the gaming culture. Many think of video games as a brand new medium, free from the old biases and masculine dominant ideologies of yesteryear, but that would be a false assumption. In this study, an online survey was digitally distributed and 100 feminine individuals responded. Respondents answered five open-ended qualitative questions about their impressions of the video game community and how it could be altered to better suit their needs.
