Why do people say video games are for kids?

Remember, if it’s fun, it’s for kids!!

People that say that are usually women from what I've realized and it sounds like insecurity that sometimes their man pays more attention to their video games than their girl, imagine the form of insecurity you gotta have to be jealous of a none living box, it's like watching tv but being able to control it, nothing more, nothing less lol

I don’t get why they wouldn’t at least try it out with him. That’s only one more thing to bond over

Yep girls that play video games are the best women lol

It says they have a fun spirit, I'd take a gamer girl over a rich business woman anyday lol

Because they just can't relate to wanting to play them & because they like to denigrate others for not being like them. It's a powerplay. They wanna be seen as more mature & admirable.

People also think that cartoons are for kids. But remember that they were created by adults. Besides it’s a cultural thing. In America we had very few animated tv shows but in Japan they are as common as any other show. Same thing with video games.

Cause the uninitiated hear the term "video games" and think of Mario Kart. Not understanding that the majority of titles are rated M and targeted towards mature audiences.

Because they never played video games.
