# "Girl Gamer"

A delightfully polarizing term for women who game.  

This is a community space for ladies to hang out, talk about gaming, and game together.  We also discuss topics around women in geek culture and debrief about experiences that occur as a result of their gender. 

Or you know, just post some bad ass makeup tutorials inspired by video games. We like that stuff here!

**Folks of all genders and identities welcome to join discussions here!**

# Rules

1. **Be civil and keep it on-topic.** Follow [Reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439). Do not attack other posters or post discriminatory content (ex: racism, transphobia). The banhammer is stronger on posts from non-regulars who cannot be civil in controversial posts.

2. **No posts from men targeting women.** We highly discourage posts recruiting or targeting women from those who identify as male. As this is a subreddit specifically for women, men using this subreddit to look for people to play with is explicitly disallowed. There are other subreddits that are open to LFG from everyone, but this is not one of them. We also ask that men do not lead discussions or asking of questions. They are welcome to participate within discussions.

3. **No posts that should be in one of our weekly threads.** Looking for Group and self-promotion posts are allowed only in their respective megathreads. The Self-Promotion post goes live on Tuesdays , Looking For Discord on Thursday, and the Find a Friend post goes live on Fridays. Battlestation posts are only allowed on Saturdays or Sundays. No posts that consist only of an introduction.

4. **Please label triggering content.** Posts & comments that include potentially triggering content of a violent and/or sexual nature, including screenshots of text, must be marked as such with a warning at the beginning of your post/comment or spoiler/NSFW tags, as appropriate.

**DEVELOPERS**

We love to highlight games and products whose staff is diverse. Developers wishing to promote their games must contact mods for permission before doing so, explaining their game and the diversity of the staff. Failing to do so will result in post removal.

**RESEARCHERS**

We **are not** currently taking requests to conduct surveys, interviews, or observations here.

**GIVEAWAYS** 

If you are doing a contest requiring entry (e.g. best comment), a specific deadline is required. PM the winner(s) with the key(s), edit the post declaring the winners, and PM the mods so we can flair the thread. If no entry is required, post the keys in an image and delete the thread when all keys are gone.

**SPOILERS**

Tag spoilers. Post titles should say [SPOILER] and comments should use the following format:

| Result        | Markup     |
|-------------|-------------|
| >!The cake is a lie.!<  | `>!The cake is a lie.!<`  |

# Weekly Megathreads
