Frag Dolls

I just want to voice how annoyed and frustrated I am at how anybody can get a job involving nothing more than playing games, attending game events and generally being in the gaming media eye, simply because they are a girl and interested in games.

Ubisoft have a lot to answer for! I feel positively discriminated against, but I suppose like all things, the minority is always more valuable. Perhaps male fashion designers fall into this category, or male chefs - it's just the way things are, but damn is it annoying.

I'll be a member of your next PR gaming clan! Just thought I'd put the word out there...

Edit: Apologies for the frustration, but as soon as I heard that the Frag Dolls simply responded to an ad put out there by Ubisoft, I had to vent. Nothing against female gamers, but this is a clear attempt to appeal to even more male gamers if you ask me.

Well, (semi)-attractive women seem to go down well in the gaming world. What brought this sudden frustration on anyways?

Boobs - they have them, we don't. Simple as that.

Unfortunately, due to some of the more immuture male gamers that feel it is there given right to abuse and intimidate female players online, just for being a female,the gaming industry is trying to find a way to show that female gamers are just as good or better than their male counter-parts.

I may appreciate that fact if the Frag Dolls were more than simple PR.

Besides which, this goes much deeper in that straight, white men can NEVER be discriminated against, after all. ;)
