ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Belles & Chimes bills itself as “an international network of inclusive women’s pinball leagues run by women, for women.” The network was originally founded in 2013 in Oakland, California, and the Chicago chapter was started in 2017 by Rachel Karlic; her sister, Rebecca Hinsdale; their college friend Kate Porter; and Tavi Veraldi. Today, the Chicago chapter has about 50 members and hosts two seasons of league play every year. Karlic, Hinsdale and Porter all said that they had seen sexism in pinball tournaments. “They still cater to a specific demographic that is not necessarily welcoming to the fact that there are female players,” Hinsdale said. The male-dominated culture can be seen in the machines themselves. Although most modern machine artwork is no longer filled with the pinup tropes of machines from the 1960s and 1970s, even the newer games don’t have women represented in an empowering way, one Belles member, Jessica Papilla, said.
