The emergence of this online game created a new profession with many devotees, one of which is a female gamer. Through content created by female gamers, it raises people’s perceptions of the credibility of these female gamers. This study discusses the perception of male students on the credibility of female gamers. This research aims to find out how male students perceive the credibility of female gamers in playing games. The researcher collected primary data through in-depth interviews with four male students as informants and used a simple survey as initial data. The researcher uses a qualitative approach, a case study research method. The results of this study indicate that each person’s perception is different on the credibility of female gamers. In credibility theory, there is what is called prior ethos. Prior ethos affects the communication perception of the communicator before he communicates, so that in this study, the ethos perception that female gamers have is analyzed.
