Why women don't like videogames? (lemmynsfw.com)

And before some smartass goes like: "are you living in the 90s? Girls play videogames dude, I'm a girl gamer! I even play Fortnite and CoD with my roommates."

Videogames in terms of the crowds that attracts is male dominated, especially as adults. Some girls replying that they play doesn't change that fact. I've never met a single girl into games... except one. My English teacher, she was younger than me, I think barely an adult (night school for adults). But I quit that place without finishing the studies and never connected with teachers, plus we're from different countries, there's no common ground, aside that I've never an adult woman into them. Do they think they're silly and childish?

Nope, not outdated.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.
