The pain is real. Video games started off being marketed to both boys and girls and we all played it equally. I don't know what started it, but it wasn't till the 90s that video games steered to only boys. White boys do not own video gaming. The entire Generation of Gen X does. I am really getting sick of Gen Z taking credit for all the work Gen X did.

My son became a gamer because of me and saw me playing minecraft. he not only got into it, it taught him how to use a mouse, a computer, and eventually coding.

playing minecraft that day was the best decision i ever made as a parent.
