I really don't see what the problem is with that connection.
Fact is, whether you like it or not, rarely are moms hardcore gamers.
Not to want to treat all moms alike, but that's the truth.

Now where does that put you? I guess in an awesome position.
You have the privilege to enjoy a great medium opposed to a lot of people that don't.

I am not insulting anyone here. I don't decide how a demographic group decides to spent their time and what hobbies they pick. I just call them as I see them. There is nothing ensulting about the truth.

Edit: And if my post was interpreted as an attack on the intelligence level of certain groups, it wasn't. It works like this: If you're a casual gamer, your tolerance level is much lower. As a casual gamer you prioritize other things, thus when a game poses a certain level of difficulty you might easily decide to do other 'more useful' things. Now hardcore gamers are more passionate about games. Their love for gaming motivates them to overcome difficult obstacles.
