If I had written "man who only plays Call of Duty an hour a week" would you say sexism?

It was an example. Chill. And you'd be surprised at how little time some reviewers actually play games. Check out the people who review games for newspapers like the LA Times and such.. the language they use shows that they probably spend less time playing games than using the toilet.

If you had implied that men were casuals as you did women then yes.

That shows some reviews are better than others though, there isn't really much wrong with that. You said the people checking the reviews are likely to be core gamers, but they would be checking reviews on game specific sites or magazines not general newspapers.

Well I didn't imply women specifically were casuals either, you picked that up by yourself. That's why I specifically said "for example" in that sentence. No need to be too sensitive about women in gaming, we have too much of that going on around the industry already.

And yes, some reviews are better than others. That's why I posted that 5th requirement, that the reviewers ought to be actual core gamers themselves because lots of them don't understand games so much. Some of them like to make reviews as if they're listening to a song or watching a movie.
