Man, now we just need more mod user girls since we have the author front covered! :D

Looking forward to what the future brings for the sites. Looks like BlindJudge is jumping in with both feet.

Many women/girls are convinced that gaming is too childish or stupid and don't get involved in it or hiding it as best as they can, but tbh in more or less civil countries EVERYONE is a gamer even if that means some casual mobile or browser gaming.

I am a mod creator also, I just don't publish my work. I horde my things all for myself =p
The 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 ^^

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.

*Sobs* Well at least I know there are a few of us out there lol.

I usually just ignore the skimpy mods, as a woman of course it turned me away from nexus mods for a while. But I've actually been working on creating mods, I've been into stuff like that since I was younger, and I've decided to start. I just block that content and stick to my female characters having their vanilla bodies.

jim_uk wrote: That gender ratio is a shock, also the genders add up to 101%.

BlindJudge wrote: Hey Jim,

The actual female percentage is 8.593%, so has been rounded up.

Quite interesting though hey :)

jim_uk wrote: I would have thought 25%+ I won't suggest that women tend to make more noise than men making it feel like there are more of them, that would be wrong. :D

SydneyB wrote: Yes, very interesting, Judge :) I didn't thought there were so few of us around ...

And congratulations on the results :)

DuskDweller wrote: Keep in mind that's a statistics, the percentage is relative to the number of people taking the survey, there could be 50% of female Nexus users but they don't give a damn about taking surveys...
Or on the other hand there could be 0.1% of female Nexus users, but they all took the survey. so there seems to be more of them.

GePalladium wrote: Jim is right... women are in the Nexus. Few, but here and "noisy". Would be interesting to have the statistic "mod autor per sexe". Just curious. I bet the percentage for women will increase. That could explain the "noise" x) *pardon my french*
Edit: even if what DuskDweller said about statistics is completly true.

Cos76 wrote: Yea i could not believe either,it was surprising for me as well,but honestly as long as the community stays at it is i am very happy about it :)As well gratz on the results :)

RayV12 wrote: @BlindJudge, You have one job.. Bring us more gamer chics :)

I was expecting to see more like

Males 60 %
Ponies 10 %
LLamas 2 % (I only know two on here) ;)
Elves 20 %
Females 8 %

Math... I need a nap

preeum wrote: Maybe some female modders got tired of browsing through all the excessive t&a mods; there seemed to be more female modders but I think a lot left in the past year. For a woman to come onto this site and see nothing but high def asses and tits, she can easily just leave and look for mods elsewhere. I've recommended friends before and they've commented how the site 'looks like a skyrim pornsite' when I sent them to the front page. It would be nice to see an upgrade.

llamaRCA wrote: I've been hanging around the Beth communities since 2008. In my experience there are very few female modders or players in the Fallout community. There are more girls active in TES.

Female mod author over 55 here. I am probably the only one meeting that criteria, lol! Edited August 3, 2015 by shalani

Man, now we just need more mod user girls since we have the author front covered! :D

Looking forward to what the future brings for the sites. Looks like BlindJudge is jumping in with both feet.

You two and Tamira were apparent, but... the others? o_O And I thought I was on top of checking profiles to check gender to avoid such awkward moments...

To put up with all the sexist nonsense is a proper show of strength.

Many women/girls are convinced that gaming is too childish or stupid and don't get involved in it or hiding it as best as they can, but tbh in more or less civil countries EVERYONE is a gamer even if that means some casual mobile or browser gaming.

Stereotypes rules minds these days.

The 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 ^^

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.

Best idea ever. Also please add a "uses scripts" tag

I am one of the 1%. I was sure there were a few more of us elder gamers here. Maybe, like me, they just didn't bother with the survey. I do know at least one girl gamer that hides her gender on the internet. I am sure there are more. And from my own observation, for a very good reason. 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.

 

I used to have a big ol' blank spot in the gender category on my profile but the staff does a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable enough that I've filled it in properly. Not quite enough to put up a picture of myself though, partly because this avatar is a mark that old friends remember and always know when they see as being "me" and partly because of the lack of awesome that I've witnessed others go through (not staff's fault but enough of a bother that it's not worth doing imnsho).
