"I've never seen women play any games except all these games I've seen them play, but that doesn't count because reasons"

Bonus points for transphobia and ableism.

Fuck people who think like this. TIL that only men play lots of genres of games, which is news to me because the majority of my male friends only play shooters and one plays nothing but... wait for it... RPGs.

G*mers are a mistake.

    tbh the reason women dont play computer games in the same amount as g*mers is theres a fuckton of shit thrown on them to do by society (cleaning, emotional labor, and so on) as well as the open hostility gamers have to women, so it either shunts them out of the space or makes them never talk or mention theyre women

      Every kid - boy or girl - I knew grew up playing video games. But boys continued into adolescence while girls gave it up.

      Not coincidentally, every girl I know who played has stories about the vile attitude of guy gamers acting like absolute shits whenever they picked up a controller.
