I remember going to a something once and two guys independently at different times accidentally caught me alone and started grilling me on games I mostly never heard of and I wasn't good at the smash brethren or anything I just picked yoshi because it's a cute animal thing
These fucking chicks COME TO OUR CONS and PRETEND TO LIKE ZELDA, to… uhhh
Gamers: "We demand big titty goth girls in every video game and we want boob physics where they jiggle when you jump and we want you to shoot real babies out of your vagina at your enemies, just like a real girl would, or we can't suspend our disbelief long enough to enjoy the game! ETHICS IN GAMER JOURNALISM!"
Also Gamers: "A real girl at my game convention? Ew, gross. They're just trying to trick me into buying a product."
Because toxic male gamers want to pretend their hobby is why the are single not because they hate women. If women were fake gamers, then no self-examination is needed

These fucking chicks COME TO OUR CONS and PRETEND TO LIKE ZELDA, to... uhhh

Applies to anything considered stereotypically manly, really
"Oh you're a machinist? Name the 4 types of welding and describe how each one works"
