- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Yeah, its like making assumptions about cinema and TV show fans, but many don't keep up with celebrity news or culture. Its just a source of entertainment to them they like to watch.
Games being some niche demographic that is in the loop of every discourse is a very outdated old person view now. Its actually so popular now the revenue from it is more than film and music combined.
Even something like Marvel and DC being the stereotypical interest of some nerds no longer applies once it became mainstream, and that's where games have been at for years now.
