    Ask yourself: Would this meme have seemed sexist if it had said “between a girl and the ps2 game she grew up with”?

    Still specific. Somehow not “exclusive”. In my view, it’s just the noir trend of including pointed details to generate a firmer visual in people’s minds. He’s not drinking “a shot of liquor”, he’s drinking “a 4-year-old cognac that the bartender lied and said was 12 years”

      no, not sexist, but pointlessly gendered and excluding non-female people

      yes it is
