Last weekend, we got our newest Game Informer. The first thing I did, like always, was flip to their game testers section and check and see if they finally got a girl on the team. They used to have one five or six years ago, but she disappeared and never got replaced. Now, I don’t think that you should stick a girl on there just because she is female, but I know that there are a ton of rockin journalist gamer chicks out there that would have fit that position. I ask myself, why is it important that there is a girl on there? I can’t say for certain that a female would bring a “female view point” – after all I don’t even know what that viewpoint would be, but I think that they would bring a perspective that was more in line with what 50% of our population thinks. More than anything, I think that having a gal on there would be an olive branch to our sister gamers, saying “yeah, we know you are out there and we want you to read our magazine too.” So, until the day they get one, I’ll be flipping to that section and waiting for my gender to finally be reinstated to the boys club.
