Can someone tell me a genuine reason to why women 'gamers' are like this other then "le foid = le bad" because this shit genuinely pisses me off

>Be me

>Be at a family reunion
>Cousin's GF is talking about video games
>Making conversation with her and ask her what games she likes to play and what genres she's into
>She gives me an instagram reels curated lineup of Fortnite, Elden Ring, and Animal Crossing
>Ask her what games she has the most playtime in/what system she plays on
>"I grew up with 3 brothers, so I grew to love watching them play video games! I love watching [insert loud obnoxious streamer here]!"
>"That's cool, but what games do you like to play?"
>Uncomfortable silence
>"I just like to watch!"
>???
>My gf says almost the exact same thing word for word
>"I grew up watching my dad play video games, so I love watching people play! I love [gay streamer]!"
>"Why don't you play too?"
>"Because I don't have a system!"
>Her dad buys her 3k worth of PC parts to build her a beast of a custom PC rig for Christmas
>It's fully assembled, turned on, benchmarked, all the stops
>She hasn't used it once and probably never will, but still has the time for 6 hours of screentime average on instagram

I love this woman and I'm not trying to hate because it's clear this is just a female thing in general rather then her specifically, because it's the exact same conversation I've had a million times with every woman I've ever interacted with that brought up video games.

What compels the majority of women (exceptions prove the rule, don't tell some retarded shit like "this one girl I know grinds Smite and is a REAL gamer!") to NOT be compelled to actively participate in the hobbies they claim to enjoy? They talk endlessly about the barriers of entry to picking up a game they'll spend hours a day watching:

>"Oh I don't have a system"

>Then buy one?
>"It's too expensive" (looking at 5,000 super computers)
>Buy something cheaper? Maybe get a second hand rig? Surely you have friends or family members who don't want their gear anymore?
>"I don't know if I'd be any good at it"
Why do most women in the gaming space act like this? Anytime I see a woman voice her opinion on video games now I nod politely and respond like I'm listening but I'm filtering out everything they say because I know they probably have never touched a controller beyond handing it to a man.

my sisters are massive gamers while I've always been a streamer/letsplay cuck preferring to watch people game than gaming myself, jsid

Yeah it’s not just gaming, it's everything. Women do this same shit with (TV) shows, books, films, tranime etc

maybe get her into emulating older games? doesn't require powerful hardware (shit the new AYN Thor is only like $250 if you want hardware tailored to retro gaming), all the games are free + she can start by playing the same ones she watched her dad play because nostalgiaslop or something

a lot of women larp as fans/participators of male-dominated hobbies for some reason, things like anime have lots of these women, they'll act like they're fans of a show that they haven't even watched more than 2 episodes of because they want to ship characters and make memes without actually understanding it and its really annoying

>I grew up watching it so I love watching people play
This has to just be some sort of psychological difference between genders. I also watched my dad play games, but then I would ask him to control the character or to have my own save. I have a terraria save dating to when I was 6 and I managed to get up to the wall of flesh while still a caca. Also would play mario kart wii, super circuit, yoshis island, warioware, etc, most of which my dad must have either shown me first or I watched him play and wanted to try as well to start with

I like watching people on jewtube playing games but I never watch streams. The whole point is that I can see different ways to progress through a game, something too time-consuming for me to try or an idea to try in an edited format, otherwise i would just spend the fucking time to play it myself.

My sister could have played games with me or watched my dad but she was never too interested. She played some SNCA baby games on a tablet for a while, now she is in the trance of the jewish algorithm and plays/played deltarune, undertale, splatoon and zelda. I've tried to encourage her to play some of the older zelda games to play something good but she shows no interest.

From what i have seen most are just normie gamers in the sense they stick with a small handful of popular usually FTP games or games xhey bought years ago usually minecraft, [redacted game that makes jannies leak and nish you] and sims. My ex who is now a poonerfail played postal, portal and day of defeat but usually games outside of whats popular played by foids are usually future pooners, neets or closeted dykes
