Most 'gamers' don't interact with women other than their moms, who plays Candy Crush I mean when I'm playing R6 Siege I hear maybe one female every 100 games. "Women don't play Rainbow Six so women don't play games." That's shit logic. If you played a MMO you'd find numbers similar to what the numbers suggest. Most women gamers I know also obsess over single games or franchises, too. Like they are still playing Skyrim or don't really care for anything but Legend of Zelda but will play those over and over. Most won't even let people know they are girls either, if they play online. --- NNID: MisterNoOne \| PSN: The_Mistled <cite>Funcoland posted [p:922820304] in 56% of all...
