A Gamer Girl Speaks.

Okay guys… I have heard so much negativity and annoyance taken out on each other lately, that I decided things have got to change. I am going to try to get something going that I will need a lot of outside help with, but it only takes one pebble falling to sometimes start a landslide.

I want to unite us all in the gaming community. Gamers United, to help spread positivity in gaming. Aren’t you all tired of hearing about all this violence being blamed on video games? Aren’t you tired of people in the community constantly putting others down? Aren’t you tired of all this hashing out against one another when we could be having fun and playing games?

Let’s make a stand together then! People are constantly complaining about what is going on right now in the gaming world, so here is a chance to stop it. I just threw this banner together, but I would love for others to get creative and make their own too! Send them too me and I will add them along with this one!

If you choose to sport this banner on your pwned profile, myspace, or any other website here are some things you must agree to and try to do.

-We are ALL GAMERS, not “Girl Gamers,” not “Guy Gamers.” If you enjoy video games, no matter how frequently you play them, you are a GAMER. Anyone who claims to be a GAMER is until proven otherwise. You do not have to take gaming very seriously or compete in competitions to be a GAMER. You do not have to like certain games to be a GAMER.

- Help spread positivity and fun back into gaming. Try to end the prejudice, racism, and very foul frequent language that occurs. Normal trash talk and taunting is fun and okay, but we all know there is a line you should try not to cross.

-Be open to others to join the community! The more the merrier, and more people that can help others be less ignorant about gaming.

-Stop the stereotypes. Not all gamers are “nerdy” or “fat.” Not all females who play games are “ugly” or “attention whores.” Also females, drop the bitchiness toward one another and support and have fun together. Let’s try to treat each other as equals.

I know a lot of this sounds corny, but a lot of people keeps complaining about what has been going on in our communities right now and these are the changes that need to happen. We need more blogs about cool games, and funny stories about pwning people rather than about all the negativity that has been going on.

Gamers Unite!
