Questions:
Clara Fernandez Vara: Where did the shift happen? (Note: early games more open; for example my Dad used to ‘game’ all the time)
A: Platform studies answer (cultural), gamers making games for gamers, packages of games in earlier days, more family oriented; marketing increasingly for boys; flOw (but also backlash); ties back to first paper

Jesper: Sims is not a game; game makers are not “sexist idiots”: why not build bridges? (Note: Echoes here of the Zimmerman Game Design Wksp debate. Implies sexist attitudes have to be intentional to be valid. If men don’t see the problem and aren’t intentionally causing it, it’s “not fair” to mention it.)
Tracy: There are people in that environment who want change
Celia: Addressed to academics; take a stand on how we look at games (Why can’t women say they are frustrated? Mary (in private convo): True, but it also helps to create answers; stealth activism)
Nick: notion of leisure time (50h of game time– wtf)
Tracy: Need to acknowledge players own the game
ALL:
Diversity of thought; girls conditioned: why and how girls are shown how to play; Title 9 - women in sports; hegemony is comfy; about struggle and process

And at that point, I couldn’t type any more ;-) But there were certainly many more interesting sessions to come.
