    This kind of marketing ruined gaming culture.

    There is a throughline between gendered marketing; the idea that young hetero men owned gaming; and chud gaming culture like gamergate.

    The idea of the young horny gamer dude is sexist toward men too. Never mind the accompanying stereotypes of gamers as loosers and nerds.
