Women in Gaming: Building a Welcoming Community at Redeye

 

Gaming is for everyone — and at Redeye Gaming Lounge in Abbotsford, we’re proud to support a community where women and femme-identifying gamers feel welcome, respected, and empowered to play, compete, and connect.

While the gaming world hasn’t always been the most inclusive space, that’s changing — and Redeye is part of the shift. Here’s how we’re helping build a more inclusive gaming culture, one match at a time.

A Safe, Supportive Space for All Gamers

At Redeye, our staff and community work together to maintain a space that’s friendly, respectful, and harassment-free. We have clear expectations for player conduct, and we actively encourage positive behavior both in-game and IRL.

Whether you’re here to solo queue, join friends, or try something new, we want you to feel comfortable walking in, logging on, and doing what you love — without judgment.

Representation Matters — And It’s Growing

Women are gamers, streamers, developers, competitors, creators — and that deserves visibility and celebration. From titles like Valorant, League of Legends, and Fortnite, to cozy games like Stardew Valley and Among Us, we see women shaping the culture at every level.

At Redeye, we’re seeing more and more women joining our lounge — whether casually or competitively — and we’re proud to help grow that representation in Abbotsford’s gaming scene.

Supporting Esports & Student Gamers

As sponsors of the UFV Esports team, we’re especially excited to support young women in competitive gaming. Whether you’re already on a team, looking to get involved, or just want to watch and learn, Redeye is your hub for inspiration and connection.

A Message to Women Who Game (or Want to)

If you’ve ever felt like gaming wasn’t “for you,” we’re here to say: it absolutely is. Redeye is built on community — and community thrives when everyone feels seen, heard, and welcome.

Whether you’re a veteran PC gamer or just curious about trying it out for the first time, there’s a seat here for you.

Come As You Are — Game As You Want

We’re committed to making Redeye Gaming Lounge a place where women can game confidently, competitively, and comfortably. Together with our community, we're helping to build a culture where everyone — regardless of gender — feels like they belong.
