I mean, I prefer my partners sharing my hobbies, but you do you.
Like that meme where girls finding out a man has over 300 hours spent on video games elicits the same reaction like that of a man finding out the woman has a triple digit bodycount?

Having political views be harmonious and align with those of your spouse is one of the most important things.
Still, having one or two different hobbies is no big deal.
No damn woman takes me away from the likes of Thief, Fallout and Arcanum.

More like 30000 hours, if we are looking at whole franchises. Football Manager and Civilization.

Never met a woman who has good taste in video gaymes. They're either totally honest and confess their love for mobile gaymes or they lie and overcompensate by pretending to love crappy bro gaymes like COD. Either way, they don't know what a good video gayme is.

Show me one female on this earth who is a legit fan of RoboCop: Rogue City and I will gift her my huge penis.

Significantly limiting your alone time (super important for relationship health), negatively impacting relationships you've build through your hobbies (which you probably appreciate a lot), the way women understand and approach "hobbies" (completely different to men to say the least) and many others. Not to mention that "gamer gurrrls" are generally a yuge pile of lol and not at all what thirsty dweebs imagine, which is connected to the point 3 I mentioned.

I really haven't had such problems. Gatekeeping your hobbies from your partner or video games from women seems more like an attempt at reinforcing specific relationship dynamics, whether those are by gender or something else.

Shame them and ridicule them.
Besides, women only tend to flock to the most normie games imaginable.
As well as, may God forgive me for uttering this, MOBILE GAMES.

Wymbyn flock to popular stuff because it's popular and also aren't exactly blind to how much attention (and more) they can get from pretending to like stuff. But we digress and it doesn't really have much, if anything, to do with my initial point. I might try shaming the next one I see playing a game, though. Will let you know how it worked out.

I introduced mine to board games (Terra Mystica is a favorite), but I still haven't managed to get her into video games. She enjoyed Slay the Princess, Day of the Tentacle and The Case of the Golden Idol, but she bounces off titles with more complex gameplay systems (as in, anything that demands more than pointing and clicking). She'd never played anything before meeting me, though, so maybe it's a matter of time.

Womyn love RPGs in the same way that they love fantasy literature, by turning it into casualized YA slop.
Neither for music, nor for poetry, nor for fine art have they any real or true sense and susceptibility, and it is mere mockery on their part, in their desire to please, if they affect any such thing.

Nearly all of the virtuosos in music and art were men.
Also game designers and programmers.
To say nothing of those in the scientific fields.

We need to see pictures of these women playing video games? I'm curious whether they would even fit in the frame though, probably larger than a house.

I had a girl in college excitedly show off a java browser snake clone

First Person Shooters are the big winner though ... GoldenEye, Call of Duty, PUGB and Apex Legends

Counter-intputively , they avoid cartoon FPS like splatoon and Overwatch

I had several women in my life before I settled with my current wife, not a gamer.

Let's just say that among the women who came before, there were some gamer ones : they were all insane, some criminaly so.
