How did genre, audience, and purpose figure in those processes?

Genre more than likely affected my girlfriend's initial interest in learning how to play video games. Video games as a genre itself did not interest her, and the sub-genre of "fighting" games probably did not make her any more interested. Girls typically do not enjoy either of those two genres.

The audience the fighting video game genre is directed towards is most often adolescent to adult males and is not really specified in any way to a 19 year old girl
