The evolution of girl gamers

Male gamers are so self-centered they act as though women haven’t been playing video games for decades, then act horrified when the female gamers who’ve always been there actually become visible and vocal about the rampant misogyny in the gaming world.

Like seriously, how entitled do you have to be that women saying “it would be nice if I wasn’t treated like shit while trying to enjoy the games I play” translates to “I must be catered to” when video games have LITERALLY been catering to (cishet) men for decades? 

More like:

I didn’t get all the dates, but I think you can get the point.

Also considered posting my own personal gaming history, but I would’ve had to go back to the 80s for that. e_e

But the ones who only get views because they have a webcam aimed at their breasts don’t help the “gamer girl” reputation and even calling themselve “gamer girls” is a bit sexist because that’s saying gamer girls are different from gamers. Gamer is a unisex termm, as it means a person who plays games.
