My parents always hated when my brother and I played videogames, we’d spend countless hours sitting in front of a computer, screaming at its screen. 

For a long time, videogames have been associated with a sedentary lifestyle: a nerd wallowing in a dark basement, munching chips, gulping energy drinks, using the screen as his only light source, and hissing like a vampire whenever sunlight hit him (not like you Sparkles) .

First of all, sorry for the late post, procrastination life got in the way.

As I have previously stated, I love to play videogames for that sense of power and control on my decisions and paths that I don’t get to have many times in real life. And that’s why I love to pick female avatars: to feel that I, as a woman, can be hailed as the heroine and admired by all is self-empowering and elevates my self-esteem.

But, more often than not, I feel frustrated and insulted by the games I play, not from clear sexist remarks in-game, but from subtle messages that it transmits.

Really unrealistic_

Digital games range from nonsensical premises to lifelike simulations, much to the entertainment of everyone, and although the people who play them know they’re not real, not really, there is something that is able to hook gamers.

So what is it? A reality check.
