YouTuber Faces Backlash for Calling Video Games an Unattractive Male Hobby

After a YouTuber went viral for stating that men who play video games are not attractive in her opinion, viewers responded by saying that as video game players, they would never consider dating her anyway.

Liz Wheeler, a popular YouTuber, brought her viral opinion to X, where she expressed her belief that video games are the least appealing hobby for a man to engage in.

Despite the possibility of encountering differing opinions, Liz shared a list of “the least attractive hobbies for men according to women”on an unofficial platform. The hobbies included magic tricks, collecting figurines, gambling, bird watching, online trolling, taxidermy, comic book collecting, and building model trains.

Despite this, video games were still considered the most unattractive leisure activity for men, ranking #1 on the list.

“Her tweet stated that it is absolutely true that men playing video games is extremely unattractive, to the point of being a major red flag and a dealbreaker. She found it strange that many men fail to understand this.”

In a comment responding to her tweet, Liz clarified that she did not consider occasional arcade games like Tetris and Pac-Man to be included in the list of video games that make a guy unattractive.

This is 💯 true. Men playing video games is peak unattractive. Beyond red flag. Like dealbreaker zone. It’s weird that so many dudes don’t get this. pic.twitter.com/nJcNiVPr8T

Following her controversial thoughts about video games being shared on social media, a large number of people criticized her for being completely incorrect.

“One person quipped, ‘Women like you assume that your company is more interesting and valuable than a good video game. However, I believe you are mistaken.’”

Another person angrily stated, “You’re average as hell… No one cares about your opinions on what is unappealing. Even if we were the only two people left on Earth, I would still spend all my time playing video games.”

“A third person mocked the unattractiveness of women who create lists dictating which hobbies men are not allowed to have. They described it as a major red flag, even a dealbreaker.”

A certain X user even claimed that they rarely engage in playing video games, but they may consider doing so in order to prevent her from coming into contact with them.

Despite the lack of interaction in the comments from popular streamers such as IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat, viewers were vocal in their belief that the YouTuber would never have a chance to date them, or any other video game player, after expressing her opinion.
