There really is no money in misogyny, this is why it's baffling to me why it's so common in the games industry.
A lack of misogyny is why anime had its big boom in the 90s, largely at the expense of comic books. which have done a damn fine job of making sure half the population will never have much interest in their work.
Games really shouldn't be an all-boys club. I kinda remember a few years back on here Cari making an excellent post on here about "girls games" and how their lack of quality might be a reason gaming is such a guys club.
Also, if you're an attractive gaming journalist, people are going to claim that you had sex to get a scoop.
If you're an attractive female player, people are going to claim that you had sex to get your sponsorships.
That's not white-knighting, I've seen both those complaints just this week from females in both the game industry and game playing side of things on Twitter.
I do think Stardock "gets it" in this regard. I just think SD should try to publicize/push a little more in this regard- not really do anything different, but maybe try to reach out and expose things to that audience a bit more.
