Women aren’t just ‘cosy gamers’ – I play horror games and 600,000 watch
A growing number of women are breaking stereotypes in the gaming world, challenging the notion that they only play “cosy” or “cute” games. One such individual is Sarah Lee, a 28-year-old streamer known online as GamerGirlX, who has gained popularity for her live streams of horror games.
Lee, based in Los Angeles, started streaming horror games on Twitch six months ago. Despite initial skepticism from some viewers, her channel has now amassed over 600,000 followers. Lee stated, “I love horror games, and I want to show that women can enjoy them just as much as men. It’s all about breaking stereotypes and having fun.”
Lee’s success has sparked discussions about gender representation in the gaming community. Some argue that women are often pigeonholed into certain game genres, perpetuating stereotypes and limiting their opportunities to explore diverse gaming experiences. On the other hand, supporters of traditional gender norms have voiced concerns about the impact of women playing more intense or violent games.
As the debate continues, Lee remains focused on her passion for horror games and connecting with her audience. Her growing popularity signals a shift in the gaming landscape, highlighting the diverse interests and capabilities of female gamers beyond conventional expectations.
