Ah yes, the classic "b-but girls have always been srs gamerzz!!" revisionism. I can assure you that at BEST 2% of people who played Tomb Raider back in the day were women. Even now I'd say that maybe 10% of the actual Tomb Raider fanbase is women, and that's probably being generous. Very few women and girls played much in the way of videogames back then, and if they did, it was typically edutainment, simple multiplayer games, or explicitly girl games, and most of them "outgrew" videogames by the time they were in middle school. Most of the late Gen X, millennial, and early Gen Z girls who claim to have grown up as serious gamers are making up stories because gaming has become a larger part of adult culture, and because they can get simpbux by pretending to be gamers.
