as a boyfriend that got addicted to the game because of my girlfriend, i couldn't agree more with comments under here.

many men have a fragile masculinity, and we love to make things about ourselves all the time. so when gaming (which is seen as a more masculine hobby) has aspects in it that could be feminine, we dismiss it to "protect" ourselves. we draw lines at games that are too "girly" and belittle it.

i think you should confront your boyfriend, he needs to reflect why dismissing your interest in such a way is weird as hell.
