Just realized something. There are 0 women making video content about TES. Over the years I've scoured Youtube for videos about everything you can imagine about TES, from easter eggs, to lore videos, to speculation videos, mod reviews etc., and not a single time have I heard a woman's voice. What the hell?!
I know for a fact there are women in the community, plenty of well known mods have women authors. So what gives? Is there something about men that makes them inherently more interested in analyzing in depth a fictional world like TES?
Sure, there's undoubtedly female streamers playing the game, but I'm interested in content that actually requires intelligence to make. In that regard, I've found nothing. It just feels... bizarre.
Or maybe my expectation that TES is less gender divided was wrong, and it's still a male dominated game. Add to that whatever inherent autism men have that make them want to make videos about every nook and cranny of the game world, and maybe this trend is explainable.

@alyx I've seen some Russian girl who was making TES lore videos.
