I think we would be really great if people read this perspective about 4chan before making judgements on a large and diverse group of users from around the world.

Also, maybe have a look at this IndieGoGo which is tragically being overlooked in the wake of all this conflict, and make your own decisions.

Gamers have always been an incredible accepting and inclusive bunch of individuals and is a subculture we should all be proud of. Don't let people tell you different. You know we're good people really.
Including playable female characters is not the sole way to make a game that appeals to women.
This is also a really important point to understand. Games like GTA appeal to men because they are macho crime thrillers, but women that also like those games tend to like them for the same reasons men do. Whereas there are games that appeal more generally to women, like the Sims. I would presume a GTA game that shoehorned in female characters would alienate as many women that enjoy the game as it would men.
