Moksha8088 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Why are those players over age 75 so conspicuously absent? Has Valve been trying to cash in on the supplementary oxygen cannulas need for strenuous game play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aricole Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, I'm female, 65 and I love Skyrim. I started with Daggerfall. I even update my computer with the latest hardware whenever a new TES comes out so I came play it without lag. Gaming keeps you young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Thumblesteen wrote: I'm not that surprised, to be honest. I mean, let's face it, the gaming industry have spent the last ten years or so making every effort humanly possible to alienate women. It's quite tragic, really. To all the women out there who still haven't given up on gaming as a passtime, I must say, I'm quite inspired. To put up with all the sexist nonsense is a proper show of strength. Quote AmiMizuno wrote: >.< Endangered species... lol more like just a dang rare sight.

I never thought that the female percentage and my own age range would be so small. o_O Quote madpaddy wrote: 3% of those females are probably men pretending to be women, its a bizarre internet phenomenon ive never understood.

I mean my Avy is my female OC... but still.I am a mod creator also, I just don't publish my work. I horde my things all for myself =pThe only thing published publicly I helped with is the Fine Faces texture. I worked on the neck, ears and redid the feet textures for SAM body.One day i will publish one of my mods that is not too personal (not one of my OC's is what I mean)I also download tons of skimpy armor and have nude mods. Not for any pervy reasons, rather as an artist I find the human form beautiful. I want my characters to be perfect and customized, every bit of them.That's my 2 cents anyway ^^ Quote Jeir wrote: I was also surprised by the gender results. I make no secret that I'm female (nor did Caliente, when she was still around). I also know of a number of mod makers and users who are female.It could simply be that a lot of the ladies around simply didn't answer the survey. Many people just come for the mods, and may not pay attention to the news, so may not have seen it.

Quote taerie wrote: I've done my best but all my female friends just kind of roll their eyes and tune me out. I am a female user and (very rudimentary) mod author AND in the 55 to 64 2%! It is damn lonely out here being a unicorn!All the front page female mods are only annoying to me because they are not balanced by front page male mods. Fix that and it might help the situation. Quote CaiusN wrote: I agree with Taerie that for me, it's somewhat off-putting to have few to no male front page mods to balance the female ones. I don't mind the skimpy clothing per se, but without male stuff to match it certainly gives me the impression this is a bit of a boy's club. It's not like the system cheats for this either, guys and gals often prefer to play dress-up with female characters. This is more a concern for managing people's first, second, and third impressions so they stick around to share and develop their talents. So, thinking productively: "hide adult mods" is pretty narrow, but having a '-skimpy' tag setting as the public default for front page views would be a good test to see if it pulls more repeat users. Better tag integration would allow me to search for armor with meshes for both genders, but without avoiding skimpy. Well I guess I'd better start contributing the sort of things I like in any case. That's the beauty of mods. Quote akparkison wrote: Happy female user here. And not shocked the number for women players was so low. Honestly. ;)It is amazing given how MANY modders are females. Seriously. UGH. Quote JZBai wrote: So to offset the effect of the skimpy female armors and bring in a larger female user base to the Nexus, we need more skimpy male armors on the front page...COME BACK SCHLONGS OF SKYRIM!!!!!

I have to say, I knew that the numbers were skewed for age and gender, but I didn't think they were THAT skewed. o_O It would be interesting to see if, from a demographic perspective, female users are just less likely to answer surveys. *wry chuckle*Interesting... if you add up the percentages, you end up with 101% for Gender, and for Age, both. There must be some funky rounding going on there somewhere.I don't even blink anymore when people say, "Hey man."

I'm a girl gamer and i get massaged all the time by guys saying just that, most guys don't understand how it feels to girls when they say "suck my c**k" ect etc.... It really weired's them out. Sometimes its a good thing to be a girl player,because you get free stuff but some people just like to play the game without getting free stuff they rather actrully buy the stuff and go on with the game.I have to play as a male player just because of that!!

Here on the nexus I have seen some of the persecution. And hopefully helped stomp some of it out. But in the on line games it gets insane.

But while I may squeak into the next younger/larger age grouping (a whole 1% more, which is twice as many! ) I don't think it matters in the long-run. The 18-24 cohort is going to keep gaming with some drop-off as they become parents, then rebound as they start buying/playing games again when their kids are older. Once bitten, you never really cure of the gaming itch.Those of us riding the silver tsunami's leading wall will have lots of company on the beach!The "persecution" of females is being way over blown. Almost all of it comes from stupid kids under 14. And it doesn't just happen to females. There has been alot of patently false information spread over the internet making it seem like females are being accosted left and right, but here's a good video going over the recent study of harrassment in video games, and its far less than prevelant than is being touted. Making it a gender issue is ridiculous. and for the people surprised by the low female / male ratio on here, how can you think this place is booming with females? You should probably try pinterest if you're looking for women on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few of my favorite authors have simply quit modding, and have stopped visiting this community. That being said most people that come to Nexus are consumers. Very few actually release what they make while modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
