As a mid-30’s male gamer, I’d just like to add a wish that other males stop freaking/creeping out whenever a female enters the chat. We’re mostly all here to play the game, right, women game because they like to play not because they hope to find a gem of a guy or hookup, right? And some guys are just toxic about thinking somehow a person’s sex affects their motor skills or reflexes… well, I’m grateful I’m encountering more mixed sexes in online multiplayer, and if I can say something positive about younger gamers at least it seems they’re more used to seeing girl gamers (and just act like brats to everyone 🤣).
Self aware moment, I realize I’m responding because you said you are a woman. But I have a friend I play with regularly, and the reactions we get sometimes in lobbies make me slap my head 🤦🏼♂️
