It is a commonly known issue that women avoid going on comms in games. For the simple fact that an incredible high percent of the time, doing so means being dog piled by the rest of the server. Sure plenty still do it anyway, but sometimes shockingly enough, some people want to play games to relax.
Anecdotally it feels like they’re more present in games than ever but if only a small percent participate in the hobby and that small percent constantly deals with this type of behaviour, do you think that’s going to encourage more to join?
People taking out their shitty days or personalities on others in gaming has been an issue overdue for addressing for a minute now.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. The dude said girls dont play dota 2 and claimed it’s because they get trolled or harassed or whatever. I said no, they just don’t like that game since there is not a single female esport player in that game. Val which you claim is so toxic has female esport players. You don’t even address anything I say you just make unsubstantiated claims even contradicting claims. You say female gamers won’t want to continue playing games if they encounter someone being mean to them but then you say it seems there are more girls than ever playing. So which one is it?
We already have ways to address someone being toxic to you. It’s called the mute and report button. What more do you want? An ai listening to every word you say banning you for even the slightest banter? People will become afraid to even say anything for fear of accidently slighting one of you snowflakes.
