OK, why is this news? Is it important that women play games for some reason?
Yes, it is important that women are enjoying a traditionally male hobby more and more. Does that bother you?
Maybe they're disinterested. Why does them being disinterested bother you though?
So disinterested that they wrote a comment and it, right?
If a person is disinterested about a mundane news they read somewhere, they have the freedom to voice it do they not? Nothing in their comment made it sound like they were "bothered" by it. You have this image set in your mind that you impose on anyone who doesn't share your point of view. This kind of behaviour stems out from insecurity.
Ohhh analyze me harder daddy.
I can see from your previous comments that your pretty obsessed with this story. Not a big fan of women huh?
Edit: Going through this dudes profile, he's got an asian fetish and supports prostitution LMFAOOOOO and mf has the audacity to act morally superior here.
Ah yes the classic go through their profile because got nothing else to say. I like women just fine, but can't help but laugh at morons who make everything about gender. Keep pushing your propaganda, maybe it will finally help you get laid or for whatever reason you do it for.
I think you need a nap. You seem unhappy, but remember that attacking everyone online isn't going to make it any better. Women are pretty awesome, hopefully one day you get past your hatred of them
By visiting prostitutes in manila? Is that what you did. Thanks for the advice man, appreciate it
I've never been to Manila, only subic Bay and there were no prostitutes there. But hey, I thought you decried people who look though others comments. So you hate women AND you're a hypocrite. Color me surprised. Go for the trifecta and share your opinions on race lol
One of your comments, on an asian nsfw post, is suggesting someone else to visit a red light area in Manila, Philippines. Anyone who respects women would never suggest another man to visit a red light area. Don't talk about hypocrisy when you support prostitution and then act like you're morally superior on other posts. I made my point and then went to your profile, you on the other hand had jack shit to say so you went to my profile and resorted to ad hominem. No point in this conversation with you anymore. Enjoy your rest of the day going through porn and advocating prostitution.
I'm curious which statement pushed your buttons the most because you're big mad right now. No need to explain your hypocrisy, just try to be better, ya know? Also, I fully support regulated prostitution, I did some sex work myself when I was younger. Not gonna shame me buddy. But thanks for your closing statement, I will definitely enjoy some porn at some point today.
Information is good. There's a stereotype that gaming is a male dominated hobby. This article challenges that.
There's a lot to unpack here, and I'm not sure that I can do it justice.

This is one example of what happens when women are not involved in a space. It allows for casual misogyny, because men do not tend to call out other men for bad behavior, which further isolates women in the space and keeps new women from joining. Both as consumers as well as producers.
Having a more even spread across genders means that we should eventually see more content created for and by women, which in turn will make the whole thing more accessible, and may ultimately tamp down on some of the incel garbage that many online gamer spaces have allowed to fester.
because the stereotype of a gamer is a basement dwelling male nerd who has no social life and zero social skills being disgusting and smelly.
not a nice young lady sitting in her sunny second floor bedroom on her bed playing her switch looking wholesome and happy.
