I played a lot of MMOs, it was really hard to guess incorrectly their gender after a while, even if VC wasn't used

did you use VC to correctly identify them?

yup

after a while, raiding with VC became the norm

also, i doubt gaming is a good example, particularly MMOs and Shooting games. those are still pretty damn male

but that is not even most of the internet anymore

MMOs aren't necessarily

MMOs aren't that much

But I wouldn't use MMOs as an example necessarily based on personality types

there's a lot of social things, decorations, fashion, etc

cute things, events

etc

so then it doesn't fit your narrative of still being mostly male.

it is still mostly male

but the ratio isnt as bad as what you pointed out

FPSs

etc

okay, i admit FPSs is way worse than MMO, but they are still mostly male, and have been for a very long time. true, you are seeing more females, but that is across the board.

its not like phone games

from a team of 8, I raided, we had 4 women

which seem to hold the female market

and children

most games aren't appealing to women

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

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

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

Oh this was a while ago

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

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

they waste way more time chatting and socializing

decoration and fashion also became a thing in MMOs

theres also collectibles, etc

men focus on competition

in those same games

and status

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

I was talking mostly about FFXIV

Final Fantasy 14 (and 11)

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

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

we have deviated greatly
