From the article: "The online gaming community is one of vibrance and diversity. It is also enormous: More than 216 million people in the U.S. play video games regularly, and the booming industry is expected to grow to $321 billion by 2026 globally.

"Of the Americans that play video games, 46 million have one or more disabilities. For all consumers to enjoy their favorite video games, the games must be accessible to them. This need creates a large demand for accessibility in the gaming space."

Over the course of 17 semi-structured in-depth interviews with American and Canadian NBA 2K players and her own participant observations, Dr. Ali Forbes found that hostility toward female gamers is so prolific, female participants avoid drawing attention to themselves by speaking in a deeper voice or refusing to chat with teammates altogether. #ASU #NBA2K #sport #sports #gamers sadareed.com/single-post/i-wou

Sada Reed · 'I would pretend to be a dude': Female gamers and harassment in NBA 2KThe extent to which Dr. Ali Forbes went to prepare for her virtual ethnography of NBA 2K gamers was nothing short of impressive.She learned how to play on both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. She watched YouTube tutorial videos. She kept a game-play journal. But there was a problem.

But she could not find women willing

I know it's literally the least important thing going on in the universe right now, but... I can't stop laughing about this idea of "boycotting" Nintendo for making their console and game too expensive.

Hey kids. Quick lesson in the history of nonviolent collective action... A "boycott" is when you intentionally refrain from economic consumer activity to signal to a company that something on an axis other than exchanging money for goods and services masters more. We wouldn't remember who Rosa Parks was if the people of Montgomery Alabama had stopped riding the bus because she went around telling people it cost too much.

When you're not buying something because it costs too much, that's not a "boycott," that's called "the free market in action." You can learn more about it at your local community college in an introductory economics lesson. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

If you want a great documentary on the effect of tariffs with actual business holders in the computing / electronics space.
See how things are going and you as a consumer will be affected.

I highly recommend you boost / share, GN did a great job. Meet company founders, ceo's of small and big companies. Understand how they are dealing, with the current economy we are in, etc.
