This article draws on in-depth interviews with 47 male and female gamers to investigate the interactional processes whereby gamers reproduce gender inequality. Women gamers, because they faced harassment from men, traded place for peace, locating themselves at the margins and minimizing their presence within gaming spaces. Men, who faced no harassment on the basis of gender, normalized the seeming absence of women while justifying their dominant position within gaming culture. These processes maintained the overall marginalization of women within gaming culture by reproducing notions of women as outsiders and men as natural gamers.

再现游戏性别等级

本文通过对 47 名男性和女性游戏玩家的深入访谈，调查游戏玩家再现性别不平等的互动过程。女性游戏玩家，因为她们面临男性的骚扰，她们以位置换取和平，将自己定位在边缘，并尽量减少她们在游戏空间中的存在。男性没有因性别而受到骚扰，他们将女性看似缺席的现象正常化，同时为她们在游戏文化中的主导地位辩护。这些过程通过再现女性作为局外人和男性作为自然游戏玩家的概念，维持了游戏文化中女性的整体边缘化。
