Why do girls not like video games as much as guys?

Anonymous 3w

Toxic gamer community that men create around girl gamers. We’re either sexualized in game chats bc we’re women, or belittled in games…bc we’re women. I have forever played with my mic off ever since

Anonymous 3w

I love gaming, always have. Only thing I’d say I do different is I don’t use mics in online gaming bc the people can get annoying

The culture. A lot of people were mean to me because I played video games. I wasn’t the only one, and it stopped a lot of the women I know to stop playing.

I don’t think we like them less, I think we are just more likely to like different games. And there really aren’t enough games made with that in mind. Also if you look into gaming, there are sooo many female gamers. They’re just usually silent and people assume they’re guys bc girls don’t wanna get harassed in game

Because men have pushed them away from them. And/or society engrains games as a “boy@ activity

I love video games and grew up with them

Some of my friends don’t like them because they don’t like sitting for long periods of time and would rather be outside. Others don’t like them because they weren’t taught growing up and feel like they’re just bad at them now. I tend to not like video games that have an unwelcoming fan base, so I just play other games instead. It really just depends ig

I love video games but college has me way too busy to be invested in them anymore

I think it's the way they're marketed/perceived and how some people think girls aren't meant to play video games, for whatever reason.

Because of the way guys who like games look, so they don’t want to be associated with people the deem look poor on average lol

Although it could be bc a lot of women like to play cozy games and some men don’t consider that real gaming🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean yeah if women keep getting harassed over mic it’s understandable why we would be less likely to keep playing those

The most played games by player count don’t even have voice chat or need it. You’d know that if you even played

Did it ever strike you that not everyone plays the “most played games”

Also I find it hilarious that you are like the exact type of man that everyone in this thread is referring to 💀

There are no games where you need a mic to play. Most of the time randoms are not talking in lobby’s on mic

Most of the people here are talking out of their ass. “I don’t play games because of voice chat” meanwhile voice chat is radio silent in the majority of lobbies and not even a feature in most games

Have you ever had a feminine voice while on chats? Because I have and it’s not fun. Just because you haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean that there aren’t online communities that aren’t toxic as fuck.

I’ve never played a game where you have to chat. Even most ranked games don’t have vc or benefit from vc until higher elos

Most streamer get hate twitch example is poor lmao. Most shooter games don’t need voice chat you literally benefit zero from using or having it on mute all and play the game

The fact you can’t even name three if I asked is further proof the whining in here is for no reason

I can absolutely name three. But you don’t care about that. Because you are the same person who I argued this with before. And when I have examples you said they didn’t matter because “top ten games” don’t require it.

I’m saying the women got hate from those they were playing with. But of course facts don’t actually matter when you just want to argue.

You won’t name the games because they don’t exist

People are mostly talking about voice chat as in it doesn’t look like as many women are playing games bc you only hear male voices and players even when women often are assumed to be men, not saying games require voice chat are something
