LOS ANGELES -- Chloe Grace Moretz wants the world to know gaming isn't just for dudes.
The Dear Utol (2025): TBrgy. Chairman Episode 39actress teamed up with Dell and Alienware to create a three part video series -- which launch on Monday -- in which she aims to challenge the current perception about what a “gamer” is.
"It’s another form of sexism to say girls don’t game," Moretz told Mashablein a phone interview. "It's unfair. Gaming is such a fun experience, I really wanted to show that in the web series -- that it’s not aggressive, it’s not masculine. It's just fun."
Mashable got an exclusive look at one of the videos (below).
In this episode, Moretz visits the Rooster Teeth headquarters in Austin, Texas and plays Rocket League alongside Achievement Hunter personalities on Alienware PCs.
Achievement Hunter, a Rooster Teeth channel, focuses on comedy style gaming videos and achievement guides.
Rooster Teeth, a production company behind hits such as Red vs. Blue, has more than 25 million subscribers to its YouTube network, 3 million unique monthly visitors to its RoosterTeeth.com hub and 1.8 million registered community members.

The series involves a revolving cast of Rooster Teeth employees who play video games extremely poorly for the Achievement Hunter channel.
Achievement Hunter personalities featured in the Dell video include Gavin Free, Michael Jones, Jack Pattillo, Ryan Haywood and Jeremy Dooley.
Moretz, who has been outspoke about a number of social issues, said she got involved after Dell approached her.
"I think Dell is doing interesting stuff and using their gigantic platform to better the world and provide real social commentary," Moretz said. "They reached out to me to see if I had anything that I felt should be talked about -- and this was a big thing for me. Everyone always act they are so shocked to hear I’m a female gamer. They thought it was so crazy."
In reality, according to a Pew Research Center report from December 2015, about 48% of American women play video games.
Moretz said she grew up playing a handful of sports and video games. She was especially competitive with the youngest of her four brothers.
"Gaming was one of the ways we could even the playing field," she said. "I could kick his butt."
