I remember a few months back there was a similar poll where women said video games were a turnoff. Just makes me laugh considering for over a decade they have been really pushing the idea that there are waves and waves of women who want to buy super hero comics or waves of women just dying to play video games that generally appeal to men.
I know with comic books there was a poll during the height of the MCU that showed that 50 percent of women liked the movies. Which anyone could see that the people going to the movies weren't reading the comics. Of course Gail Simone and her fridging nonsense caused comic book head to bend the knee to this nonsense instead of seeing who actually buys comics. As for gaming, I remember it being 2018 when I finally cancelled my Game Informer subscription when every issue was either something about women in gaming or some ridiculous lecture about toxicity or lack of diversity in gaming.
Don't forget the sob stories of women who cried about going into a comic book store and having to "be quizzed" by nerds (i.e. an unattractive man asked her what comics she liked). All this is why with rare exception I just watch stuff that was made 2014 and prior. Just with the 80s and 90s there is so much I didn't see growing up and I am catching up on (like I am currently watching the Sleepaway Camp movies on Tubi).
Sorry for the long message, but I found that poll to be pretty funny.
Eh I never pay mind to what the polls say
Yes I like video games. Yes I like puzzles. Yes I like tabletop. A poll says women don’t like that? Sick. Who gives a shit? What I do in my life is not and will never be dictated by what others like.
Some women still like me even though I love spending my free time playing video games, so what if these others who took a poll says otherwise
The whole "opposites attract" thing rarely mentions that having different interests means you can have time to yourself which is very often extremely healthy for relationships so you aren't in each others faces all the time.
For sure!
You are right but I was more referring to the unwillingness to accept that certain interests/genres/hobbies will always appeal to more men than women and vice versa. I too have the interests mentioned and if I came across a woman who hated it I’d just shrug my shoulders and look for another lady
I don’t see anything here about acceptance? It’s just a poll of what’s a turnoff.
Nevermind. I get where you are coming from. Made me chuckle but I guess I didn’t convey it correctly.
