Gatekeeping GAMERS!
I know this has been a thing since Gamergate. But why do incel gamer dudes think only men play vidya games?
Twt vid of a gamer claiming that girls who play on twitch don't even like the games they play. The logical leaps are astounding. If these girls didn't like the games they were playing, wouldn't they just do girly shit like makeup or dress-up or whatever else this moron thinks girls LIKE to do? Twitch hosts stuff besides gaming. Like you can stream "just chilling" conversations on there or art drawing. lol
Aside from this, I played NES before this little shit was born. Jam was so into Sega Genesis and SONIC stuff that she has a whole collection. But sure, girls aren't real gamers. sure. My over 400+ hours logged on Zelda BOTW were fake because I'm NOT A REAL GAMER.
Over 41% of PS4 and PS5 owners are women. I mean, I don't have a ps5 yet, but I have owned all the other PlayStations and currently have a 4. It's always hilarious how dudes tend to think women don't actually play games.
I remember when I worked at Barnes & Noble one of my managers was an indie app dev for Apple Store. I was like "women play games too" and he was like "yeah, they do play mobile games, if you count those". No, motherfucker. They play Resi 8, Dark Souls and even CoD.
It's just frustrating. I mean, if a girl plays stuff like The Sims, ACNH, Stardew Valley, etc. That's cool. She's valid! She's a gamer. Minecraft and stuff are GAMES TOO. But girls also play the stuff guys don't think they do. They play fps and never turn their mic on because they don't want to deal with bullshit. They will choose to play as dudes and pick non-gender screennames because it's easier.
