If this sort of thing was commonplace, I wonder if this overtly male-focused advertising (I say “male-focused” as males, who are majority heterosexual, would be the largest collective that would be attracted to this sort of advertising) had anything to do with video games being stereotypically associated with males. Perhaps it’s a sort of positive feedback. If so, I wonder what the initial bias towards males was.
if it was, it happened really fast since the association didn’t exist before 1986.
before the video game crash, game systems were sold in electronics stores. afterwards, when Nintendo wanted to lose the association with the crash, they went t toy stores… and toy stores gender every product, at least back then, so they had to decide which side to put it on.
I’ll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.
Now we get to find out if Derek has a lemmy account.

This PlayStation 2 advert (safe for work) came not long after that:
safe for work
Where do you work??
E was really damn popular during that time, so why not?
I remember an ad for Half Life of all games that went “She’s smart, has a great personality, and knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his sternum.”
It’s NEO GEO… Come on. Of course he’s playing it

Where were these?
Because I don’t recall ever seeing ads like this.
I remember seeing the left one in EGM
Someone elsewhere in the comments said they remembered seeing one in playboy magazine.
