And before some smartass goes like: "are you living in the 90s? Girls play videogames dude, I'm a girl gamer! I even play Fortnite and CoD with my roommates."

Videogames in terms of the crowds that attracts is male dominated, especially as adults. Some girls replying that they play doesn't change that fact. I've never met a single girl into games... except one. My English teacher, she was younger than me, I think barely an adult (night school for adults). But I quit that place without finishing the studies and never connected with teachers, plus we're from different countries, there's no common ground, aside that I've never an adult woman into them. Do they think they're silly and childish?

Some women who play games don't broadcast their gender, to avoid harassment.

There are some games that are played by more women than men, like Animal Crossing.

That's me. I played a game with a group for almost two years before I let them know my gender. I still regret telling them some days.

I’m a woman hugely into mmos I never say anything unless I’ve decided I trust the group enough to talk.
