    I know this is a meme but I’m really really hoping that top line is from a skit or something

      Nope. It was a BuzzFeed thing about a very very feminist person talking about how gaming only appeals to men. I am feminist, and the piece still got a massive eyeroll from me. They cherry picked a few things and said because of those things gaming was only catering to men.

      Worse is that they didn’t tackle any actual issues going on in gaming. Just lame ragebait.

      IIRC one of the examples was an NPC in GTA 5 making a sexist comment. In GTA 5, which is of course a parody of modern culture, completely out of context.

        Ugh so typical buzzfeed clickbait slop then. Thank you for explaining. /gen

        Guess I’ll go back to putting up with all the male fantasy in the cat adventure game I’m playing 😂
