which seem to hold the female market

2018-08-01 20:46:38 UTC  

and children

2018-08-01 20:47:08 UTC  

most games aren't appealing to women

2018-08-01 20:47:27 UTC  

i'm confused. I though you were arguing that the internet these days is not filled with way more female influence than people care to admit

2018-08-01 20:48:02 UTC  

it's like I said from the start, women started focusing on social media after it became a thing, they dont usually like anonymous settings

2018-08-01 20:48:11 UTC  

Apparently WoW is slowly switching to mostly Wahmen for total time played

2018-08-01 20:48:27 UTC  

Oh this was a while ago

2018-08-01 20:48:33 UTC  

women play MMOs, that doesn't mean they do the same things

2018-08-01 20:48:40 UTC  

So yeah, MMOs are closer to the 40/60 and 50/50 split

2018-08-01 20:48:51 UTC  

they waste way more time chatting and socializing

2018-08-01 20:49:10 UTC  

decoration and fashion also became a thing in MMOs

2018-08-01 20:49:20 UTC  

theres also collectibles, etc

2018-08-01 20:49:26 UTC  

men focus on competition

2018-08-01 20:49:30 UTC  

in those same games

2018-08-01 20:49:32 UTC  

and status

2018-08-01 20:49:39 UTC  

Fantasy mmos to be specific. Scifi based mmos skew much more towards male

2018-08-01 20:49:51 UTC  

I was talking mostly about FFXIV

2018-08-01 20:49:57 UTC  

Final Fantasy 14 (and 11)

2018-08-01 20:50:44 UTC  

But yeah the data shows that men and women have different reasons for playing mmos with women being more likely to cite the social aspects

2018-08-01 20:50:44 UTC  

Final Fantasy: the game series where the number doesn't mean anything anymore aside from its not the other games

2018-08-01 20:51:04 UTC  

we have deviated greatly

2018-08-01 20:51:07 UTC  

lmao

2018-08-01 20:51:17 UTC  

not really

2018-08-01 20:51:32 UTC  

you started with, "theres a lot of females, we just assume they are men"

2018-08-01 20:52:09 UTC  

we said there aren't that many, and they become easily identifiable as women after a while

2018-08-01 20:52:21 UTC  

this depends on the type of interaction though, I guess

2018-08-01 20:52:26 UTC  

Demo wise that assumption still happens though

2018-08-01 20:52:35 UTC  

When you're dealing with populations and not individuals

2018-08-01 20:52:46 UTC  

what do you mean?

2018-08-01 20:53:03 UTC  

ahh..yes

2018-08-01 20:53:15 UTC  

you will always assume at first that a women is a man online

2018-08-01 20:53:36 UTC  

but you will be statistically accurate 😂

2018-08-01 20:53:38 UTC  

Not always. Sometimes the username gives it away.

2018-08-01 20:53:44 UTC  

Or the picture.

2018-08-01 20:53:50 UTC  

And that a large group of people are men, even on social media

2018-08-01 20:54:01 UTC  

I've seen a lot of men trying to pass as women too

2018-08-01 20:54:10 UTC  

Remember how the studies on twitter harrassment blew people's minds?

2018-08-01 20:54:20 UTC  

because they want the status, free stuff, etc. They want to know how it feels like

2018-08-01 20:54:29 UTC  

yep

2018-08-01 20:56:22 UTC  

I still think the number of females on the internet is grossly underestimated by males. Perhaps because male and female interest divides so much

2018-08-01 20:56:38 UTC  

and because historically, it was mostly men
