A perfectly normal question, it gives as many as 111 points.

It gives 5 points, actually. The average value is 100, although deviations of up to 15 points in either direction are acceptable.
As I see it, the question is still a bit strange. At least, it's stranger than stereotypical footballs and cannons, considering that the test should provide a list of traits traditionally associated with masculinity. That is, stereotypes. Because all this "masculinity" and "femininity" (not counting certain traits of appearance, although there are also vague points regarding hairstyles) is based on stereotypes. It is unlikely that, when imagining a stereotypical man (the so-called "real man"), anyone would imagine that he is a gamer. Rather, he doesn't think about it much.

Alex has 120 points; how should we interpret this "unacceptable" deviation?

Masculinity is traditionally associated with the ability to hammer a nail into a wall and shoot a mammoth to drag it into a cave. Are you sure you understand the purpose of the test correctly?

Yes, Ples simply doesn't want to admit that he isn't as brave as he would like to be.

A bias towards masculinity? Strange question. The deviation is from the average.

It's all written at the very beginning, lol:

In the 1970s, Sandra Bem developed the Sex Role Inventory in response to the view that masculinity and femininity were polar opposites and that a mismatch between masculinity-femininity and one's gender was a sign of poor mental health. Bem believed that it was possible to be both masculine and feminine at the same time and that this was the healthiest psychological state. The Open Sex Role Inventory was developed as an open-source, modernized measure of masculinity and femininity.

Oh, well, then the test really is bad, you've convinced me.

Ples simply doesn't want to admit that he isn't as brave as he'd like to be.

That's why I find the question that earned me points strange. Bravo, Sherlock!

No, the concept is fine. But some of the questions are a bit strange.

Regarding the games: just the other day, I was walking down the street with some friends, and we were joking about ziggurats. A girl overheard us and actually understood the joke, and even continued the conversation on the same topic... And Kosha is a good example.
So, yes, games with themes of masculinity/femininity are likely unrelated. Or, at least, there's a weak connection.

You can’t joke about ziggurats.

Hi. What is this place?

Sacred Haven of Vice

It's quiet here.

The most popular topic is the Holy Haven of Debauchery.

:smile16:

Everyone is hiding and waiting.

And along the road, the Mortulus with scythes stand.

An unfamiliar elf wandered through the dark jungle, trying to find someone. The eerie silence slightly frightened him, and he was already thinking about leaving this inhospitable place. But he didn't know that he was being watched by several dozen eyes, hidden in the wild bushes of hemp and other plants, including one in a tree.
- No, I want to do it, - whispered a local native, arguing with his friends.
- Why? We all have the right to do it! - said his companion even quieter, despite the exclamation.
- I have a suggestion, - added the third, and held out his fist forward.
Everyone nodded approvingly and held out their fists forward.
- TSU-E-FA!
- Damn it! - several voices were heard at once, among them a joyful "Yeah!".
- So, since you have this right, you must approach this matter with all responsibility, otherwise you know the consequences, - warned the leader to the lucky one.
- Yes, of course. I won't let you down!
- Do you remember what and how to do?
- Yes, I remember very well.
- Well, okay, then get started.
The native ran to the nearest bush from the elf, and when he turned in the opposite direction, the savage jumped out of hiding and, with a cry of "For the Creator!", jumped on his victim. The poor fellow only had time to turn around, after which a bone knife pierced his skull. The elf fell dead to the ground, and in the same second, other natives ran up, tied the lifeless body, and carried it to their camp. There they hung him over the fire and roasted him until he was red, dancing and singing songs, praising and thanking the Creator for a successful hunt.
