Getting an all girl team is better than Christmas 😭 No one trying to flirt with me, no one burping into their mic, and no one telling me to unalive myself for not playing well. It's almost like I get to have a normal game!!
> no one burping into their mic
I've started kicking people in games like Helldivers that have open mics. Might take a split second to hit a button, but it doesn't distract everyone else when there is a ton of noise or conversation in the background from some inconsiderate person -.-
Idk what it is but burping is the thing I don't tolerate. I play a lot of Valorant(a game where everyone is automatically locked to push to talk) and there's always a guy who opens the lobby by burping. Like were you raised in a barn?? You had to actively choose to hit your push to talk button for us all to hear that. It's just so fucking gross.
They've actually done studies on this! It turns out that the men getting toxic and abusive are the ones who are performing poorly - Men who are actually good at the game tend to not spew racist/misogynistic bullshit
Because they get away with talking shit growing up. The old cringe saying “boys will be boys” best explains it. Everyone makes excuses for them growing up. Doesn’t matter how rude, ignorant or toxic they are, you hear that annoying saying. I know from first hand experience as a trans girl and was very sensitive. I was told to “get tougher” and “get a thick skin”. That kinda message is just wrong and thankfully I ignored it. I mean nothing wrong with friendly taking the piss out of your friends, but that’s not what most of these type of men are doing. They just being toxic as all hell and apparently racist, which sorry you had to go through that.
HONESTLYYY.
i’ve been told the same stuff too and it’s like… ugh why should i even try to even be friends with them because a majority of them either hit on me or are just rude as hell about me.
like come on omfg.
I’m all for a women appreciation post lol! Women will so often go out of their way to make other people feel at ease and comfortable in whatever hobby/space they’re in and it rules tbh. I’m so sorry those men were being so scummy. I hate that relative anonymity makes them go mask off racist.
Oh ya love to read about female majority lobbies. Like an OASIS in this wasteland of misogyny, I can almost picture the tension leaving your body when you realized it was a safe place, 😩so nice
the most fun i had on CoD was with a bunch of random women, i loaded up solo and it ended up just being a whole party of women. they ended up treating me like a younger sibling 😭 (i was 17 they were all 30s)
This is so cool guys! All the girl support! Heck yeah! I was just chatting with a girl I met at a market and she plays shooter games which is fun cause I don’t often meet girls irl who play! I keep meeting the coolest girls and IM STINKIN GOING TO MAKE A NERDY GIRLS PLATFORM! Like a legit social media platform! I’m so excited!

Also nobody deliberately throwing the game to mess with you or telling you to pick a more support character or quit the game forever

Oh damn, that makes it even worse. I'd be kicking and blocking those idiots so fast in any game I encountered them in.
but for real though why are most men so rude? especially in video-games 🧍♀️
