Well. It is a different mentality. In Russia, a female gamer is seen as “very cool” and being a gamer for a girl means that the guys will actually treat her better “As one of them”. You mistreat a girl gamer who is in your clique – and entire group of your friends will come after you – she is their friend too. Same way as american guys treat a girl who is into baseball or football. That’s why back home, many more girls are involved in such things as: historical swordsmanship, martial arts, historical reenactment, roleplaying games, LARP and videogames. It is seen as a hobby. A girl who is into videogames or lets say swordsmanship will be respected much more than a girl who hobbies are “shopping and talking on phone with her friends and gossiping”. Such girls seen as more “real”. On another hand, much fewer girls are sports fans here, since sports fans in Russia (especially Soccer fans) are very well known for getting drunk like a swines and starting a huge brawls. Even if they are sports fans, they will watch it on TV:-)

Based on my own knowing.
Give and prove me that there are more bad girls playing this game than good girls.
Every girl I’ve met in this games plays ok and I’ve yet to see, at least, one playing bad.

Nah, there’d be too many militant feminists bitching and moaning about it to even consider having this sort of video in NA. The Russians have the right idea on political correctness: don’t give a shit about it.

“Yeah, and that’s why the average girl has better stats and is more open-minded than the average man”

Based on what statistics?

Don’t forget the ones with overrated ‘Make me a sammich instead of playing games’ mentality. And thats applies to mostly NA/US players.

Kekekeke…

[...] Since you probably don’t speak Russian, you’ll want Silentstalker’s translation here. [...]

i dont know if you are a girl or not, but as a girl i didnt felt a bit offended with the vid, its funny and it actually portraits some true stories.

those 2 first examples are really a true story, 1st when i’m watching my bf playing and he plays like a fucktard and the 2nd when i’ve to go to cw which are always during dinner time and i’ve to make dinner while i play and btw games.

yes i’m a girl, i work, i cook, i clean my house and i dont have kids but if i’d i would take care of them gladly. If i were a guy i would do the same things if i’d to, like screaming at my noob girlfriend or making dinner while playing or taking care of my kids if i’d them etc

I thought the vid was funny as already said, i also think who cares if i’m a boy or girl while playing, i’m just a number as anyone else. But for a company is important to reach as many people as you can so i understand the WG marketing point of view.

And just a final thought, the discrimination is in the viewer’s mind, i dont get offended with stereotypes, they can be pretty funny if used in smart humor. i can laugh of myself without crawling into a corner and crying…

And if you think that portraying women as normal people who cook, who take care of their families, who have social lives etc is offensive i really dont understand what is normal to you, maybe they should just starve to dead, dump their kids somewhere and be in a hole with wi-fi just playing games.
