Yes *this*. Ugh it's so frustrating to see stuff like that. ;w;

Literally every girl I know plays video games. "Girls don't play games" is such a bullshit response that holds no water.

Wtf who is saying girls don't play games? They're obviously wrong!

From what I've seen you do, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Just keep away from sexist jokes like you have been and stay cool.

i play SO MANY GAMES these people dont even know. >:O

Yeah, I was reading the replies to your initial tweet and I was like "People STILL think this???"

Like the above person mentioned. Most main media claim that girls don't play. Most gamers know this isn't true.

Yeah working at a game store people still ask me if I play games. The stigma is still here sadly. But helpfully it will stop soon.

What pisses me off is people who think we only play mobile games. I almost never play on my phone. Dude I had a Sega since I was 2.

Okay but I've been playing games ever since i was 4 years old, girls built this industry just as much as men did

Honestly? Its really comforting to see that you care enough to try and make us feel more welcome. Gives me hope

Sadly I've gotten used to that phrase.

Just keep being a great dude and they'll come

Pretty sure there are statistics that say that it's almost a 50-50 split. Hell, I know more lady gamers than guys.

I think this goes back to the "fake need girl" argument. They find the most obscure stuff to ask u so they can tell u u're not a real gamer
