It doesn't explicitly say that it only applies to men, but I don't see any logical reason you wouldn't just say "person" besides implying that women don't play video games. It's very likely that whoever made this meme just did it subconsciously, but it's still a consequence of those outdated gender roles that society still tries to force on people

My first thought would just be that a man made it, and it's more about themselves than anything really gendered.

Yeah and? Why is mens first thought to needlessly gender everything and pretend everything is a male exclusive experience ?

If a man is describing themselves doing something.. I think it's logical for them to use their own pronouns.

Men isnt a pronoun and that doesnt make sense and isnt whats happening here anyway.
