Except that reading is the same type of activity no matter the book you pick up, but playing a game is a completely different experience according to what game are you playing, and books don't close themselves and refuse to let you continue if you're not good enough at reading. So, to begin with, your analogy is shit. Then, I'll pick your example, which is in fact a very good example and one of my favorite games: Mirror's Edge, a game that, because of the way its gameplay was conceived, can be straight up unplayable for people with motion sickness, extreme anxiety and so on. And it's not something that you can learn how to deal with, either. I have a friend who can only bear to look at that game when I'm playing it, and has to turn away whenever I fall because the falling sequence freaks her out. That's exactly the game I use as an example IN FAVOR of why following Let's Plays is a perfectly legitimate way of enjoying games. Even without the "oh no wimmens are ruining my manly entertainment" that I'm hearing - supposedly because them watching Let's Plays directly causes your penis to shrink or something like that, right? -, who are you, the gameplay police?

As a woman and a gamer (what you would define hardcore, even): get your head out of your goddamn ass and LEARN TO LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN like the rest of us. God knows you might even enjoy it.

*buys you a drink for that analogy*

I really wouldn't be surprised if OP were female (which I think is even worse). ITA with you though.
