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

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.
from experience this isn’t true and they are still marketed primarily to men.
This shows with some fluctuations that after 2010 there was a marked increase: https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/#:~:text=The statistic shows the gender,increase over the previous year.&text=The global gaming industry has,fast pace in recent years.
Of course the issue with this statistic is that it seems to only take into account the people who have played some video game, whereas some other statistics seem to imply there is a much more significant gap in people who identify as gamers, which is shrinking too. But yeah, the divide before 2010 was greater in general, not that it was as big a deal as they pretend anyways.
