And before some smartass goes like: “are you living in the 90s? Girls play videogames dude, I’m a girl gamer! I even play Fortnite and CoD with my roommates.”

Videogames in terms of the crowds that attracts is male dominated, especially as adults. Some girls replying that they play doesn’t change that fact. I’ve never met a single girl into games… except one. My English teacher, she was younger than me, I think barely an adult (night school for adults). But I quit that place without finishing the studies and never connected with teachers, plus we’re from different countries, there’s no common ground, aside that I’ve never an adult woman into them. Do they think they’re silly and childish?

    And before you type something smart like: “are you living in the 90s?

    Are you living in the 90s

    It’s like asking why only men like fantasy and sci-fi

    That’s not the case. It’s just that women in the space often receive unwelcome attention of one kind or another when participating in the fandoms. It’s been the same case with gaming for years.

    Every female friend I’ve had has been a gamer. It’s the norm anymore.
