Girl gamer: a girl gamer describes a female who regularly engages in the playing of video games, role-playing games, or other games.
This can be from the most casual interest to
the most serious professional gaming.
MLG Pros have been charging various forms of payments for a spot
on their Friends List since the beginning of competitive gaming.
.... selling those spots to male gamers only.

“ Do you think by having MLG Pros on your XBOX Live Friends List is the gateway to becoming known among the Halo Community? ”
“ It’s a start, the more you play with Pros, the more likely you will get
noticed and create a name for yourself. ” – MLG Pro, FearItSelf
“ What if a girl gamer came to you with the same intentions as a customer?”
“ To be honest, I wouldn’t take money from a girl. ”
– MLG Pro, FearItSelf
“ I would add her for free. ” – MLG Semi-Pro, Ar7 Of War
“ Why wouldn’t you give her the same treatment
as the next guy; her intentions are the same
as a male gamer. ”
“ ... I would feel bad, it’s just how it is, that’s the type of
guy I am. ”- MLG Pro, FearItSelf
As girl gamers are constantly turned down by MLG Pros to purchase a spot on their Friends List. We can’t help but notice girl gamers resorting to other methods of achieving “Known Status” among the highly populated male Halo Community .
... baring it all.
ONE METHOD;
I n a recen t po l l , t he Ha lo Communi t y has sa id tha t i f t he re were 10 g i r l gamers s tand ing be fo re them, tha t they can w i thou t a doubt , guaran tee 4 ou t o f 10 g i r l gamers wou ld agree to send ing au na tu re l p ic tu res fo r an accep ted Fr iend Reques t .
Girl Gamers who have sent photos as a method of payment; end up having a more permanent spot than a male who purchased.
. . . And the g i r ls who do get accepted, are not capable of
compet ing profess ional ly.
What about the compet i t ive g i r l gamers that pure ly want MLG Pros on thei r Fr iends L ist to bui ld a respected, wel l -known name for themselves wi th in the Halo Community?
There is a very small portion of girl gamers who don’t get any recognition they deserve because of the struggles they endure through building a respected well-known name for oneself.

How is that fair?
