Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Nah, women do play videogames: https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/
One. That's outdated and two, typical USA egocentrism, They're not the world.
12 months ago outdated? Has the video game world turned around since then?
Nope, not outdated. And I do believe that US statistics are somewhat representative for North America and Europe, which is where most of Lemmy's traffic comes from. But please, give me the statistics for your country, I'd be interested in seeing how they differ.
Edit: Have a look at this "Global Gamer Study", the results don't look all that different: https://newzoo.com/resources/blog/spotlighting-women-gamers-and-how-they-play-and-spend-on-video-games#:~:text=Out%20of%20the%20total%20cohort,people%20call%20them%20a%20gamer.
