My wife likes YouTubers but isn't a gamer. If I'm doing stuff with them I'm more likely to pick a video about games than a game.
My wife thought she was the same until suddenly it clicked and she realized she is in fact a gamer
We called my wife "fake gamer girl" for a while because we made a group chat back in 2020 with everyone in it to coordinate online games. They were there because she would play Among Us or Jack Box with us. It was very tongue in cheek. To be honest, they may have even said it themselves for the first time lol.
Nice. My partner is more of a movie person and I'm more a games person, so I'll watch movies with her almost as a favour, and she'll return it by playing games with me lol.
There's an art to picking a movie or game for a choosie person, and we've both got pretty good at predicting eachothers' tastes in media.
