I can't quite find where it is, but there is a Wikipedia article about percentage of female gamers around different parts of the world. I can remember FPS players was few, only about 10%, in Japan more Women play games, and in average it was indeed around 50%. And this number was from years ago.
Women play games huh? Name 3 women, I'll wait.
It was a joke, FFS.
Lemmy is much more sensitive than Reddit.
OK, why is this news? Is it important that women play games for some reason?
because the stereotype of a gamer is a basement dwelling male nerd who has no social life and zero social skills being disgusting and smelly.
not a nice young lady sitting in her sunny second floor bedroom on her bed playing her switch looking wholesome and happy.
