My topic is about gaming/eSports and I want to research about ‘why there is a lack of females in professional gaming or gaming in general?’ How I came up with my question is through my knowledge of the lack of female friends playing eSports related games and the lack of females in the professional scene and wanting to find the stem of the problem. I feel this topic is important because we need to eliminate the lack of diversity in all job fields and professional eSports is one of them. There are already females in professional sports but not yet in eSports and I want to find out why. How I plan to explore this topic is by going through articles and referencing a well known incident of an attempt to introduce a female into the professional scene and the backlash caused by people on the internet.
