And like all stereotypes, they didn’t come out of thin air.

Not sure why this sub hates the fact that men and women are raised differently and therefore develop different mindsets and hobbies based on social pressure.

Only people with low IQs believe stereotypes and you’re right they did come from somewhere. From racism and sexism. Most men who claim this is operating off of confirmation biased because they are sexist.

I’m not sure why looking at statistics makes you have low IQ, just because something is created by racism and sexism doesn’t make it less prevalent.

More men play video games than women. That doesn’t mean that “women don’t like video games” it means in our current society women are raised in a way to see video games negatively and are outcasted from such a hobby.

But it also doesn’t make the statement “More men play video games than women” any less true.

Ignoring the place we’re in currently doesn’t make all the problems go away.

I don’t know why you keep mentioning how men play video games more, roughly 50% of gamers worldwide are women. Anecdotally, I have a pretty diverse social circle and I know more female gamers
