The stat for women gamers includes people who have only ever played candy crush on their cellphone. The statistic for women who actually play games on a platform other than mobile is around half that. I'm not saying mobile games don't count as games, but the mom on the bus next to me who's playing candy crush doesn't consider herself a gamer, and doesn't spend money on games most likely. Because by that definition my dad who plays solitaire on his iPad's a gamer since he paid money for that app (probably). I just wish the statistic was given context, but it never is. But it makes it difficult for the Anita's of the world to call Gaming a boys club... Imagine if little kids were all like we're tired of being harassed for having high voices and being annoying. If you just don't use a mic no one is aware of your age or gender, if it's really such a big deal to you. I just always mute everyone in public games because people talk to their friend next to them while the mics on, or it's just static.
Very interesting video, I love it when people expose pseudoscience. When I was kid and I didn't know the lyrics for songs, I would think it said like the name of a pokemon or something. After that I couldn't not here it, lol. But even though I was a child I didn't jump to the conclusion that whatever song I was listening was making reference to pokemon. I had a feeling this video would be somewhat tongue and cheek and I wasn't disappointed.
