still lacking

asterrocSome day even famous gamers will grow up, and on that day they will suddenly understand why they don't have more girls in gaming.
Since Gabe made the post about it on the PA news/frontpage, I'm considering emailing him about it, however it's Khoo who has much more sense about ... well, anything. I'm not really *upset* about it, per se, more disappointed. I'll think about it for a couple days and then see how I feel and maybe write to Khoo then. And yes, I do have his email address - a Google search seems to imply it's a well-kept secret, but there are honors that come with Omeganaut status. No, I'm not going to post it here now. Ask me later if you want it.
ETA: After thinking about it (see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosefox's comment below), I doubt I'm going to email Khoo, and instead I'm sorely tempted to buy one and wear it at inappropriate times.

Date: 2006-12-04 03:10 am (UTC)From my taste of them at PAX and being in the Omegathon, I really got the feeling that Tycho and Gabe are ignorant but not malicious, Robert Khoo (the real power to the group) will do whatever it takes to make them succeed (and expanding the market to girls would do so), and Travis (in charge of the Omegathon) really DOES want to bring more girls in but is clueless as to how to do so.
I did NOT get the impression that they were hopeless, or else I probably wouldn't even read them. It does seem to me that if I bought the shirt myself and wore it in gaming situations it might open the door to discussions about gender in gaming.
