Looks like she's going to have to prove herself to a tough crowd; but she can't have been surprised by the reaction. Hopefully she has a passion for the game and will earn their respect.

I think it shows just how young the Call of Duty audience is now, as when I was at a gaming expo in April the 343i CM knew and had huge support from a predominately male audience at the panel she was on. Might not have been the same story a few years ago when Halo 2 was the big game for younger audiences.

In some MMORPG a gender of a CM wouldn't be such a big deal. Good luck to Tina, I am sure she is great, but it will definitely take hermore efforts to vain respect oc those users than it would take a male CM it Imho gaming is a way too broad definition here, as we are talking about a shooter here, and yes, a girl in this position looks weird as the concept of shooters appeals to the vety manly, testosterone driven image of users.

I know there is a need in the gaming community for moderators and many of those positions are work-from-home (remote) positions, and moderation is certainly a great way to get your foot in the door.
