There’s a widely held opinion in gaming that women generally suck at gamimg.

My two cents is that there’s simply not many women into video games due to lack of interest and the few who do get either sexist attacks or obscure enough to go unnoticed. This creates a cycle where elitism combines with existing lack of interest to scare off any potential newcomers which means there’s less of an incentive to be skilled which feeds into elitism.

    I do suck at skill based games, like shooters and whatnot. A lot of women I know play mobile games or just single player action games, so that’s why you don’t hear much about it maybe.
