The consoleheads at our sibling site Kotaku raise an interesting question in what may be the longest post in Gawker Media history: Can a female videogame fiend get treated like a "normal" gamer and still shake her moneymaker to get a little attention? This particular dustup centers on SugarJoy/Destructoid blogger Faith Naked (who gets her chance in the comments), but it's really part of the larger issue of whether girls can ever get respect in a world dominated by horny guys. Should ladies use sex to their advantage? Is it even possible for a girl not to stand out? We happen like any opportunity to mix boobs and cartridges, so we're staying out of this fracas, but the fact that we're still eagerly awaiting the debut of GirlsofCS probably tells you where we stand. (P.S. Get your site running already, guys. You call yourself nerds?)
