Letter of the Month from the March 1999 issue of the Official US PlayStation Magazine

Yeah. I'm gonna need to lookup some stuff to get my writing game up...

As much as gamers have insisted that girls don't/didn't play video games I seem to remember letters like this popping up pretty regularly in video game magazine mail bag sections where women complained about how they were being treated by video game publishers, media and gamers

I remember how in one Finnish gaming magazine some dude wrote in to complain about how unrealistic it was to have female characters in games involving combat because of le muscle mass, etc. Later a female reader wrote a response where she thoroughly debunked and dunked on the guy. Unfortunately I think she gushed over female IDF soldiers in it

I wonder if this person got weird emails from proto-redditors after this letter was published

I actually do still type with the indents 😅. The only reason I can't on here is because of how markdown works, and it took me a while to figure out it was the indents messing with my formatting.
