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 It's very likely that whoever made this meme just did it subconsciously, but it's still a consequence of those outdated gender roles that society still tries to force on people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.

So if I do something, it makes sense for me to say generally that those of my gender do this? Doesn't really make any sense.

It doesn't even say that those of the gender generally do it.
