GTFO: Get the F**k Out Women in Gaming
Collective Eye Films
Sparked by a public display of sexual harassment in 2012, GTFO pries open the video game world to explore a 20 billion dollar industry that is riddled with discrimination and misogyny. Although half of all gamers are women, females are disproportionately subject to harassment and abuse from other gamers, and are massively under-represented in the video game design world.
Through interviews with video game developers, journalists, and academics, GTFO examines the female experience in gaming and begins a larger conversation that will shape the future of the video game world.
Official Selection at the SXSW Film Festival.

This documentary was a good highlight at the INSANE misogyny that exists within the gaming world. The film could have had another segment that focused on the only door left for women in gaming is to be "one of the guys," that is to have to either accept and approve the sexism and/or pander to the sexualisation of females in games.

Great documentary for both gamers and non-gamers exploring the world of gaming through the various perspectives of women. Sheds light on women's experiences particularly with sexual harassment and the lack of female representation among gamers and developers. I greatly enjoyed the 8-bit animation interlaced between the interviews!

As one of the female gamers said in this film, in gaming when women and men are on a level playing field because physicality is no longer a factor, then the only thing in battle is the brain which is a scary thing for some, particularly misogynists.
Read lessThese are brave women doing what they love in a very hostile environment. So sad these young go-getter women are subject to such abuse in what I thought was a progressive industry. Thankfully there are many young white men interviewed who have embraced women in the gaming world. Let's hope things change and I'm sure this documentary will help move the industry in the right direction.
