What is in a name? The GTS team talks "Girl Gamer" versus "Gamer Girl". How can the same two words hold such different meanings? Is the Gamer Girl aesthetic all about pink and animal ears, a product of our culture, an example of female empowerment, or all or none of the above? Does it even matter? In a conversation that starts with "Are you a Gamer girl?" and ends with "What if men took contraceptives?" Could this be our most wide-ranging episode yet!?
