I think Linda summed it up nicely. You're not aware of sexism in gaming
because it never affected you personally. I'm not sure why you jumped on
my particular sentiment — I came in late on this whole discussion — but
you are making an incredibly inaccurate set of assumptions based on a few
sentences which were directed to another gamer. I never said that every
game should be gender-neutral or even feminist in tone. I have played many
CRPGs and RPGs where my character was male. I just happen to think it is a
"plus" to play a female character. But your statement that sexism in games
"never existed"… perhaps not in *your* world. May you never be the
victim of sexism.
