We discussed the importance of your partner having the same passion for video games in a relationship
On Friday night, the Cantina Meristation received married couples, in common law, divorced and single couples to debate whether it is important that your partner is a gamer.
Being the eve of Valentine’s Day, the guests tried to put their own experiences on the table, to try to reach the conclusion of whether or not it is important that your sentimental partner share the same passion for video games within a relationship.
Analysts
The table was composed of Montserrat Simó from the Heraldo de México, Mariana Maus, Carlos Fernandez de Lara from Forbes México, Gabriel Huerta, former editor of IGN Latam and Rolando Vera characterized as a cupid gamer. All of them formed a mixture of ages and diverse situations that complemented the debate.
The talk
From anecdotes of how they met their partner, situations where they were deceived by forcing a taste for the hobby, to success stories where the couple, despite not sharing their taste for video games, found a balance. The guests concluded that undoubtedly one of the key points for these relationships to work is communication and respect for the space of both parties, avoiding being carried away too long by passion and even trying to bring the couple closer to the partner in a friendly way. video game world.
Social difference in the continents
One of the hottest points was when they talked about the toxicity of the gamer community within the American continent and how this to some extent has stigmatized women or alienated potential new gamers, due to the aggressiveness shown by these communities that as such , many times they do not represent the majority. This contrasts with what can be seen in Europe and has been evident at fairs such as Gamescom, where you can find a great diversity of gamers compared to what is seen at fairs on this side of the world.
As usual, the audience had an active participation with comments related to these situations in the chats of our Facebook, Youtube and Twich channels.
