@DefeatSlut@TheLeBufBuf@animmortalninja@hard8_times The Pew study that was cited separated "plays video games" from "identifies as gamer." The own source made the same distinction you're calling arbitrary. Take it up with Pew Research, try again.
@weskini "You can't connect with women" isn't a demographic argument. Nobody said women don't exist. The claim is about who built and sustained gaming culture for three decades - and the data says overwhelmingly male.
@petem127@CabooseEK Her total playable content is a handful of segments in one game. Geralt has three full games, two major expansions, and seven novels of character depth. A few key moments vs decades of development isn't "more interesting." It's less proven.
@petem127@CabooseEK Combat wise, sure. But story wise? I doubt it. Witcher 3 story has alot more going for it. Once you include the main story and the expansion packs.
@SakazukiIsTop1 Witcher 3 main story wasnt all that. But the DLC includes one of the best villains in gaming (Master Mirror) and a much better stand out story (Blood and Wine)
@AmadeusXLO 2. Night of the Comet is a movie, not census data. Every piece of evidence you cited proves women in arcades were the exception, not the norm. You brought receipts for my argument.
@AmadeusXLO 1. The magazine says "Women JOIN the Arcade Revolution", JOIN, meaning they weren't already there. Ms. Pac-Man was created specifically to attract women who weren't playing - you don't build a product for a demographic thats already present.
@onyxicca "Always played" — at what rate? Console/PC gaming was 80-90% male for three decades per ESA tracking data. The demographic shift came in the 2010s, driven largely by mobile. "Women have always played" is true the same way "women have always been in construction" is true.
@TongueBiteHER Your personal experience doesn't change the demographic reality. Nobody said zero women gamed. The argument is that the population was overwhelmingly male. You being there makes you the exception, not the rebuttal.
@TongueBiteHER You pulled out the dictionary because you couldn't answer the argument. You know what "guest" means here. Who was in those arcades when it cost you to be a gamer? Not them.
@KitKatisWeird7 Was "Yesterday" less creative because Paul McCartney wrote it in his sleep?
If creativity is "entirely bound" to effort, then "Yesterday" isn't creative. Neither is any piece of art that came easily to its creator.
@Sehnsucht711 Andrew Wilson never runs away lmao. He would have completely bodied Spencer in this debate had it actually stayed on course. Tf are you niggas talking about.
