Notes de l'éditeur
- Hi Everyone! My name is Elaine and today I'm going to talk to you a little about Female Gamers. This is a large theme, but I will focus on harassment in online games and games industry.
- First, I will define Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination. Both are the worst issues for Female Gamers. Second, I will show you some real cases of Sexual Harassment in online games and the games industry. Thirdly, I will talk a little about how that behavior affects female protagonist in games. Finally, I will show you the "why" and what can be done to improve this harmful environment for women.
- According to Langston University Gender Discrimination is the unequal or disadvantageous treatment of an individual or group of individuals based on gender (Langston University); While sexual harassment is a type of gender discrimination. Sexual Harassment consists basically of verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature like Unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors

- Here some statistics provided by Ohio State University, from USA: one hundred percent of Female Gamers have experienced some type of harassment at least once during an online match. To avoid this, almost all girls use a man or neutral nickname to hide your gender! It's sad hide who you are because other people don't respect that. Be prepared! In the next slide I will show you an example of strong harassment in online games.
- Please, read this tweet from this girl in Brazil. It's disgusting right. But this is only one example. If you miner the web, you will find various cases like this or even worst.
- Dozens of women have revealed stories of abuse involving gamers, influencers, entrepreneurs and other personalities in the gaming and electronic sports industry.
- This year, especially in the last two months, we have seen many cases of sexual harassment in the gaming industry in general. Lono was accused of sexual harassment by his streammaters After that, other streamers also began to report harassment at the companies where they work. He was banned from twitch, a famous game streaming platform.
- A second case is that of the vice president of UBISOFT. He was not the first in the company to be accused of sexual harassment. As a result, UBISOFT opened an internal investigation process. This inappropriate behavior of people in important positions within game developers ends up influencing important decisions about female protagonists in games.
- An example of this is the character KASSANDRA from assassin's creed Odyssey. At first, she would be the only playable character in the game, and even she is canonical, that is, the story is hers! But the executives (who practice sexual and moral harassment daily) did not agree with the idea and demanded the inclusion of a playable male character. It was not the first time that this occurred with the franchise. Evie Frye in Assassin's Creed Syndicate also shared her missions with her twin. Then they started asking if games with female protagonists really sell. It is obvious that it is. One example is Resident Evil: more than 103 million copies sold. The discussion then is not whether the female protagonist sells or not, but whether the construction of the character is good enough for that. Many players don't really care about the protagonist's gender, as long as the story is good.
- Why all this if fifty-three percent of the player around the world are women? But only five perdent of games have a woman as protagonist? And only tem percent of women are game developers?
- Because at the beginning of the game industry, segmentation between genres was not an issue. And The tradition of the game as a boy thing was born in the mid-1980s, for the sake of publicity aimed at solving the financial crisis in the industry games
- So, what can be done to fix this somehow? There is no correct answer, but many people are working in several ways to help. Here I show you three things that can be done: First: in-game penalty system: the gamers that usually practice harassment can be penalized in the game in several ways: from being banned for a while to undergoing a real process
- Second: cultural change since kindergarten and at home: that is maybe the main change that we have to do. Education begins at home and at school. But we know that are a lot of other issues that concern this specific topic. It’s not that easy and the results will appear only in the future. We have already died until then.
- Thirty: increase the number of women working in the e-sports ecosystem. This could really help now and get some improvement in the short-term.
- So, please, don’t forget about: Sexual Harassment and Genre Discrimination is a cruel reality Men domain this area because of a commercial decision in the 80s And Women must be in several important positions in the ecosystem to do the changes that are needed
