I remembered something a friend of mine said to me a while ago and I was just wondering if anyone else agrees with this.
My friend and I were talking about video games and at one point, he said that a guy who plays games is automatically classified as a gamer, but a girl has to play and like playing “guy games” like Halo in order to classify as a gamer. I told this to another one of my friends this and he also agreed!
Personally, I find this to be ridiculous. I’m a girl and I have never played any of the Halo games, nor do I intend to. I love video games, but I’m very picky about what I choose to play. Unless they’re survival horror, which I will play without a second thought, I’m going to pick them completely apart through online research until I’ve decided whether or not to actually play the game.
The last time I checked, this was the definition of being a gamer; playing games. Has this, at some point, changed or did it never exist in the first place?
Guys, girls, and everything in between, do you agree with the idea that unless a girl likes “guy games,” then they aren’t a gamer?
