Definitely not!
I’m a girl gamer and I’ve been playing video games since I was a small child!
There are many different communities when it comes to gaming, depending on the sort of people you choose to socialise with and the sort of games you play.
For example, Counterstrike is famous for the crude flaimbaiting between players, but there are plenty of mature people who play it. Video games being ‘violent’ are a stereotype that’s inflated by the media.
Yes, that murder played a video game. But what about the thousands of people (girls, boys, teachers, adults) who have watched horror movies and played the scariest games?
It comes down to the person. Personally, I say gaming is a great outlet, both to relax and to meet people and socialise.
