Oh, no. He read to us as well. He started with 100% reading every single night. We went through lots of Peter Rabbit and the like from before I can remember. I should have specified that it wasn’t a complete swap. More of an augment. We had game night for an hour or so every other night for a fair while as we went…

Maladjusted kidults.

Its absolutely not deplorable at all. Its the natural thing to do in regards to these objections presented in the way they are. I’m sorry but a person who immediately tries to claim these results are bullshit apropos of nothing the momment they see them instead of going “huh interesting” and looking into it more ,…

The good old "changing the wording of the questionare changes the answers you get" 

These people aren’t men, they’re misogynistic douchebags. That’s it.

That “boys club” BS comes out of insecurity and lack of self esteem. These people don’t know how to approach women, or how to interact with them, and the few times they have done so they’ve been met with bad reactions (which tends to happen when you pull a girl’s hair), so therefore they resort to an air of…

If I play a multiplayer game I do not speak in game. 360 days I tried with halo and kept getting harassed. Some didn’t even believe I was a woman and kept calling me a squeaker. I feel like maybe too much anime time and not enough real life interaction with women or something.

Exactly. It’s like the girl who showed up to D&D club in the 90s. No one yelled “this is a man’s space”. We all bent over backwards, probably embarrassingly so, for her to play.

the numbers aren’t based on purchase records, it’s from a survey about active users who played in the last 30 days

I mean... reading the fine print on the images you’ve provided - it says it was an email survey to 600,000 people, but with only an 11% response rate. And what’s weirder is that the question isn’t who plays it the most, it’s “who had the strongest desire (in their household?) to purchase a Nintendo Switch”. Could…

I mean the switch is only a few percentage points more popular among women than the rest of the consoles and gaming PCs. I think a better headline for this article would have been “women make up almost 50% of gamers across every platform.”

I get the point you’re making, but “of course Switch is popular among women, it…

I don’t know about other women, but as one who owns both, the Xbox genuinely seems to be the more sensible purchase with much friendlier and less costly premium services and more and more easily available games that appeal to me, which are also often cheaper. As for the Series S/X vs the PS5, it was also cheaper and…

Or most women know that if they talk about gaming around a lot of men they’ll suddenly have to “prove” their “gamer cred” or whatever or be belittled or talked down to or some combination of all of the above so they never let most men know they play video games of any kind, on top of avoiding voice chat because everyon…

Shocking news, approximately half of the population are approximately half of the people involved in a popular past-time.

You are reading wrong.

*overgrown boys* react poorly

Just wait until they hear that Black people play video games too!

The whole Andrew Tate worshipping gamer crowd is just weird to me. Growing up as a kid in the 90s, a girl who knew her way around a video game was the girl every boy wanted to hang out with at my school, now the tiki torchers want to gate-keep video games into a sausage fest.

I mean, you can only analyze the data you have. If men don’t answer or don’t answer honestly, there’s not much you can do. Also, with THAT said, if you broke it down to type of game and genre, I’m willing to bet that women aren’t in multi player lobbies with voice chat on. They likely get harassed if they do. So they…
