Why is gaming such a feminist issue to us? Why are women excluded from gaming? Why are some women far more than others excluded from gaming? What needs to change and what is already changing?

Why do women continue to be hypersexualised in games?  Why were they in the first place? Why does it matter?  How do we change it?

The team recount the first time gaming intersected with their Feminism.

In a discussion about the social aspects of gaming, and the concerns women have taking part in social games, the team talk about intersectionality, gatekeeping in games. Can games be intersectional? Should they be? And who are the gamers anyway? Who decided? You? Us?? Them???
