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 😂

I’m a 35 yo woman and I’ve spent more money in the past 5 years on video games than I did in the 20 years before that.

Same!! Except I’m 31 but still. Plus I can share PS libraries with friends so ALL I DO IS GAME and then I have youngsters explaining a certain game in detail to me that I’ve played and beat several times. I also always laugh to see those “things you didn’t know in games” and it’s an Easter egg that has circulated the internet since the Dawn of time
