      @LailaShabir @deantak that's cool ^_^ just broadly speaking women's interests in popular culture don't include westerns as much

      @avantgame @deantak I'm a bit lost on women's interests, maybe because mine are more boyish. Would u consider cooking/fashion game sexist?

      @LailaShabir @deantak cooking doesn't sound very gameful/thrilling, but I would totally play a @LadyGaga game whatever that might be
