So. We have started another Discord. We'll see how it goes. The link may be found in the discussion called "Discord"

Bye /Swiskon

The creator of this group have left us because of lack of time. Me, Swiskon, is now the so called owner and I would like to welcome Elf as our new officer as well as thanking Philogeon for their continued work as moderator. We would however like to see two more officers and maybe 3-5 more moderators to make the group more alive and co-operative. So please talk to me or Elf if you are interested.

We would also like to revive the Discord channel. I will as soon as today make two discussions in this group. One about a new Discord and one about the future of this steam group.

Keep gaming and kick ass.

Hey everyone. The give away is still on and ends on sunday so get those typing fingers going.

Hi everyone.

I will do another announcement about some updates but for now we have a give away. The makers of Darkarta, Tuttifrutti Interactive have contacted me and wants to give away three Steam keys of the game to our members, you lot. I haven't played the game myself and can't make any promises about how well it fits this groups "theme" but it has great reviews here on steam and seems to be a really good hidden object game.

So what I want you to do is write a comment here related to games/gaming AND feminism. It could be a personal experience, about an article in the subject or what ever. At the end of the week I will then draw three winners randomly from the comment section that has followed the instructions and give them the keys.

I hope for a very interesting comment section and will see you later in the world of gaming.

Wow people. It seems like the growth of the group is going faster and faster. This is good news indeed. We're almost 1k now. triple that and we’ll have a newborn in our hands.

As a Swede mostly hanging around people from the left, the gaming community has been the most sexist environment I’ve been active in. So I have at times felt discouraged. I must say however that I have noted I huge difference in games and some change in the community in the last few years. When I grew up, the most annoying person in a game was the female. She could never do anything right and you had to constantly save her from silly situations. Of course there was a handful of characters sticking out like Lara Croft and Samus Aran, but they were more or less always sexualised even “in game” and stuck out as individual cases.

This is not me saying that everything is fine now but even though we feminists still have to explain that women are not closer to other animals than to men, we are moving somewhat forward. It’s way easier now to enjoy more games as a feminist gamer than it was I think.

So fight and game on! Love you guys!
