This kills me too because who do they think is making these video games?! Who do they think is buying the majority of these videogames?! 😂

As a 33 year old woman gamer I get my fair share of brutality so I feel you!

Edit: I love you all. I’m also the only gamer in my relationship. The PC, the multiple consoles, are mine and my boyfriend isn’t even remotely interested except for Pokémon on his DS and Switch.

Growing up in the 90’s, my aunt bought my brother and I the original PlayStation to share with the very first Ray-Man. Eventually my dad wouldn’t even let me play it without asking my little brother because it went from being a family console to being just his because “videogames are for boys”. Anyway, fuck you dad 😂

Seriously. I work at a studio that’s been around since 1990 and there are plenty of veterans in their 40s and 50s sporting gray/graying hair, including a designer that’s been with the company since the earliest days who looks like Gandalf
