Does "Girl Gamer" Prejudice Exist?

[Dratini]

It sounds to me like the cashier was trying to flirt with your friend and stuck a gangrenous foot in his mouth.

On my main game (Diablo 3), everybody assumes I'm a male. Equally, I assume everybody else is a male, so it's all good. Other than that, there's not much prejudiced behavior. We even were gifted with a female class that is fully clothed (the Crusader).

As touched on by another poster, I'm under the impression that FPS is the main breeding-ground for sexism, racism, and just about every other type of anger-based unsavory language. However, my experience in this genre is limited to listening to my male friends go on chat with their team and instantly turn into filthy pigs.

Offline, I don't experience much prejudice. However, I don't particularly flaunt that I play games. I've never gotten any inappropriate comments from cashiers.
