The problem is that it made it so that I see a lot of smart people just copy leftist talking points about women in X and how they are a victim without realizing that no one ever told them not to do X or that X already had a lot of well written women.
This one was particularly infuriating because she plays videogames for a long time, she started wow back in burning crusade I think and we played wow, diablo, lol together. Not only no one told her to go back to the kitchen but everyone was treating her nicely, including farming for her in wow. But that does not stop her for saying that "women are not welcomed in gaming" crap.
As a life long gamer and comic book guy I always saw women who were interested in the hobbies, but not in the same numbers as men. I’ve always been a nerdy black guy and have loved sci-fi and fantasy since childhood. Not many blacks are into that stuff but nobody ever stopped me from reading Tolkien, Heinlein, Asimov, etc. I enjoy an occasional romance novel which is very female dominated. Nobody stops me from reading those.
They just refuse to accept who generally buys things or is into a hobby
The last few years have caused me to re-evaluate what I consider to be intelligence. People who mindlessly and arrogantly went along with every bullshit government and media narrative, from George Floyd to covid to Ukraine, are no longer what I would consider intelligent. I’ve moved most of them into the category of “competent” with some of them being “hyper competent” (a label I reserve for the type of person who can perform brain surgery but cannot recognize simple patterns in media).

Just as long as you watch out for Clarke. Because he's definitely on the naughty list. And by that I mean he pays to rape little boys.
Arthur C Clarke?! That I didn’t know
It's why he moved to Sri Lanka
Yup, him.
There are a couple of his books that have very... disturbing... scenes about older guy/younger guy romantic relationships.

This seems like a very useful distinction
