Do video games only appeal to men because there's a lack of innovation in the industry? Girls love stuff like Journey and Portal which is considered to be "fresh" by the industry standards. Meanwhile, rehashes like CoD only attaract dudebros and kids. Maybe it has to do with aesthetics but it's hard to find a girl into Battlefield or any other shooter.
The females I know that play video games don't play the brown and grey shit that gets pushed out in the west. They like colorful stuff like Kingdom Hearts and LBP.
You fags keep forgetting that games like The Sims have sold more than CoD
>>340759684
They play those games not because they're fresh or innovative, it's because they don't need mechanical skill to play them.
>>340760263
This. Also violent games don't appeal to women in general.

Men are active and women are passive; women are inherently attention whores and nothing more.
>>340759684
Video games for women have pretty much always existed.
What's a new phenomenon is games that appeal to men being attacked and destroyed.
"Diversity" means ending games by white males, for white males and coercing white males to make games for everyone else--because they can't, I guess?
I guess as a white male developer I should be flattered.

I wonder when mods will start enforcing rule 2.
>>340762387
I wonder when you will do your mandatory 2 year lurking
"Innovation" and "being progressive" got us where we are today. On top of a pile of shit vidya with a few gems hidden every year or so.
It's just a fact that more men played games than women for so long. And most of the women that did were quiet about it, there wasn't a need to keep spouting stupid shit about loving vidya to be accepted.
It's because video games are now treated like a fucking social circle. You need to play them to get in with the cool and hip kids if you wanna fit in. Got no personality and you dyed your hair an attention-whoring color? No problem. Just say you've held a controller and you'll be drooled over all day every day.
More women want more attention. Pretending they like hobbies guys like only helps on their end, damn the state of vidya. They can't do sports because that requires actual knowledge of the game. With the handholding tutorials and the power of YouTube let's plays, they can become l337 grrrrl gam3rs in no time and get as much attention as they're little heads can take.
Can't get more attention than attractive women in this category? Just complain about something lacking progression online and you'll instantly earn a hive of retards who'll do whatever you say.

>>340762956
Games aren't shit because of women. Western devs have been shit since the 2000s
>>340762956
Our hobby (men and women who actually play games alike) is used as a springboard to help people feel like special snowflakes, when they shoukd have gotten the shit beaten out of them in High School so they can wise the fuck up and be normal productive members of society.
That said, it isn't women's fault. It's the fault of the devs for falling for such cheap and meaningless tactics and being over backwards to appease to these whores. They'll move on eventually. They'll get bored and start getting all "progressive" over movies, and music, and everything else enjoyable.

So you missed the point of this image completely
My girlfriend likes FTL, Portal, Advance Wars, LoZ, and Spacechem. I think it's a matter of exposure, men are more likely to be exposed to games more frequently than girls. My girlfriend didn't even know AW, FTL, or spacechem existed before I showed them to her, and now she loves them.

They really don't. Even finding girls that play Animal crossing or Sims is getting more rare by the day. Girls just don't like to play video games in general. They like attention. I wish my GF would play more video games with me, instead of wasting my time with sex and cuddling.

If you expect gamers to be anti-degeneracy, I have some bad news for you. They just don't want to be deprived of their favorite drug/narcotic.
Japan was somewhat shielded from bolshevist cultural subversion and so was a reservoir of beautiful Western and classical culture. So, they sent games over here in the 90s that reminded us of why we were great, even as our civilization was burning.
But, of course, ugly scum can't stand beauty, and so must destroy that final wellspring.

Hello shill
Where's the edit of this pic that calls the creator of the image entitled?
>>340759684
This is the most embarrassing thing I've seen circulating on /v/
I mean how do you look at that and not think it was just made by a bitter faggot who was bullied for being a beta autist? Nobody makes fun of anyone for playing videogames, unless you're actually a fucking loser who would get bullied no matter what. If you honestly think you were ever bullied solely as a result of liking vidya then it's no wonder you were a target. You're a fucking idiot.
I really thought this image would be mocked when it was made but I see it posted over and over and now I realise just how fucking sad and deluded lots of people on /v/ really are. I mean are you fucking serious? Did you REALLY have girls laughing at you for playing videogames? Where does this happen? They laughed at you because you were ugly, not because you played videogames
And even if you DID grow up in some kind of bizarre alternate universe shithole where there was a girl actually fucking idiotic enough to laugh at you for playing videogames when you were 10 years old, maybe it's time you fucking got over it? Or better yet, hold onto that bitterness forever and ever and save images from memecenter 15 years later making fun of girls because you're STILL not over it.

Most girls only play games for the social aspect. They play meme shit/things that are popular with people they know so they can talk about it, or games that have a focus on communicating with others online. Girls do not play Portal to play Portal. They play it because it's a meme. Girls don't play games for the game's sake. They don't give a shit about videogames.

>>340783891
I've never seen a girl autistically discussing meta game or mechanics. It's always casual.
I know several girls who play vidya. One of my girlfriends played it with me, but she was bad at everything that required muscle memory.
My little sister is pretty good, but that's because she's put in like 200 hours into playing games with me. She managed to beat some of my friends at Smash, despite a 10 year age difference and being a little girl.
To be fair, my little sister loves me unconditionally and it makes her day whenever I praise her, so she has actual incentive to get better at vidya.

This is the most embarrassing response I've seen on /v/
I mean, how do you copy and paste this and think its a legitimate response? Do you not realize it just makes you look like a legitimate beta white knight? Nobody with an actual brain believes that image is an accurate representation of women, unless you take the average opinion of the underraged users of /v/ as fact which then I kindly ask you to grow the fuck up.
I really thought this copypasta would only be used in jest as a tongue and cheek response to a bait image but I'm dumbstruck of how people have become so assbassed on this board that they take shit like this to heart. I mean, come the fuck on. Who actually thinks Brianna Wu is an accurate representation 50% of the human population? And if they do you should just immediately discard their retarded opinion and not respond.
Even if you DID post that response as some sort of counter bait, the irreparable damage is done. You created a grave for yourself that makes whatever point you were trying to convey lost in a sea of shitposting. Good job, you're responsible for the downfall of this board.

Girls can get into vidya just fine, but starting with Dota was a mistake. Moba's in general are not a great entrance point for people who are new to video games, because they have a high learning curve, and a lot going on at once can be overwhelming.
You should try again with a 'party' game that appeals to casuals, like Smash, COD, Minecraft, any mario sports title, etc, and once she's hooked you can move on to greener pastures.
