There is a lot of historical context behind this trope. Young males traditionally made up the vast majority of gamers, though demographics are changing. Females now make up to 45% of people playing video gamesnote genre and platform irrelevant, these are just raw numbers and the average age of people playing video games continues to rise. However, the core audience for games such as shooters, racing games and action RPGs remains males aged 20 to 35. Those types of games are usually the first types of games associated with gamers. This is likely due to the popularity and controversy of video games such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto which have made them well known even among non-gamers. There is an increasing number of females playing these types of games, but the player base remains mostly male.

Females are overrepresented among players of simple freeware or mobile games such as farm simulators, casual puzzle games, "interactive movies", and atmospheric exploration games. Genres such as first-person shooters, action role-playing games, action-adventure games, turn-based strategy games, and sandbox/openworld games have player bases that are anywhere between 80% and 95% male.
