I think you’ve generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it’s just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn’t that she saw a stack of random games, they’re all FIFA – did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.

Did the creator of this meme really feel the need to swap the genders just because of the “all gamers are male” stereotype…

lmao. I didn’t cry, I literally forgot about this meme already. If there’s something I find irritating / weird, I’ll call it out, but that doesn’t mean it affects me personally xD

Have you even seen the original? I’ve only seen edits that were jpged to hell and all of them have a budge on the sweater wearer.
Also, it’s Fifa. I know women play video games, but I’ve only ever seen Dudebros play Fifa.

Yes. Next question
Korne127@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Why are you okay with that? It reinforces the stereotype and well… makes it harder for women to start gaming and be treated as normal.

You are reaching. Stop overthinking things and looking for a reason to be offended.
