Girls when you were younger did you feel like video games were for boys?

[Aliceinwonderland22]

Never had an issue with that... I was 4ish when I was first introduced to videogames as we had a ps2 that my dad did racing games on and my sisters played, plus both sisters had game boys... the shared with me and showed me how to play...
It gave me something to bond with people over and I had a group of guy friends I talked to as we liked videogames... it wasn't till later that I kept hearing the "gaming is for guys" thing... and I'm now 23 with access to 10+ different gaming platforms (video gaming is my favourite hobby, so much so I've found a way to write my thesis on it XD )

Totally. I always felt like video games were for boys and that no boys wanted to take the time to "teach" a new player how to play. There was no culture of "Encouragement" from boys to girls in predominantly boy hobbies like video games or football. They just wanted to beat each other instead of retain or get new players.

Competitively we are better at it, so in a sense, yeah.

Heck no! As a matter of fact, it was my mom that got me my first console when I was a kid (NES).
To this day, I play all kinds of video games; there is no gender specific games, nor should you feel that way! If you enjoy playing a video game, play it!

[CherryFlair]

Hell yes! When I was younger I never knew of my girl-friends to play any video games. Never talked about it. I grew up around that cause I was really close to my dad and he was always playing video games

[bigmisssunshine]

Kind of. But I really enjoyed Need for speed and GTA SA when I was younger. I just didn’t play it the way you’re supposed to 😂

[Marilynjuana]

Not at all. I was playing games with my cousin 24/7.

[Agape93]

Nonsense. It’s entertainment. I play diablo and resident evil every couple of days since lockdown.

[mamamai]

Not really, I just have never been into them

[Nayyr]

Yeah
