Differently how? The basic point is that if Bernadette, who didn't show any interest in video games before, was suddenly really good at one, it would be the same joke again.

I'm not totally familiar with the term you're referencing. Basically it's if an unwanted girl tries to get involved (often by just watching) her guy's gaming? I can see how that is sexist, but I think context into the situation is important. If they're implying that all girls would be like Bernadette, yeah. But I didn't see anything out of character to have Bernadette act that way. Bernadette isn't the sort of girl you'd want to bring to guy's night. Penny fits in a little better. Amy is Amy so she almost never fits in anywhere.

I guess what everyone wants is a whole new female character to have the same interests as the guys. Which is fine. I think that would be a fun and much needed addition to the show (you get some one-shots or references, but Amy and Bernadette are only covering the science aspects). But Bernadette isn't that girl.

Basically, I think it was less an issue of a girl on guy's night than bringing a girlfriend to a friend's night. I get why some people are offended because it eludes to a further sexist problem in real life. But I think about all the times a girl brought her boyfriend to girl's night and how his every statement infuriated me, and I can let it go. There's a real life justification for the plot.
