Gamer Girls, Frag Dolls Isn’t For You!
If you are a Gamer Girl, check out Frag Dolls. It’s a website that caters to girls who like to play video games. Or does it?
The part I liked best is that they have a weekly calendar where you can meet online to play games with other girls.
What I didn’t like about the website is that it isn’t very friendly. Sure, the graphics show lots of girls sitting on the couch with game controllers, but the weekly schedule is filled with abbreviations. I know what Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, and Halo 2 are, but SCDA? GRAW? Even Uno? I’m not that out of the loop in the gaming world. If I don’t recognize these abbreviations, then a girl who has stumbled on this site trying to find another game that she likes isn’t going to be helped by the Frag Dolls.
The biggest problem with the gaming world is that it’s such an insider-driven environment that the people who are on the inside have no concept of what it’s like to be starting out. If a girl realized that she really liked to play the Lord of the Rings games, where would she go to find more that she liked?
Sadly, Frag Dolls isn’t going to help her nearly as much as IGN or Gamespot.
In fact, based on this picture, it looks like Frag Dolls is more about titilating male gamers than about Girl Power. Was that schedule for guys who want to meet girls online? Shucks! I would have really like a good Gamer Girl site!
