The Depiction of Women in Gaming

While the following flow chart is doing the rounds – making people laugh because it’s true, making people think because it’s true – I thought it hightime that Geek Native pointed out the fantastic post by Anna Kreider over at Pelgrane Press’ See Page XX on The Depiction of Women in Gaming.

Kreider brings science and research to an intelligent and thought provoking post, using fantasy art example gender roles but also character classes. For example, looking at D&D 4th edition – is a thief more likely to be drawn as a male or female? Curious? then should pop over and read the post.
