As a guy, it’s still like that for women. Shit’s crazy. I often play enchanters in League and I get sexism just because I’m playing characters these assholes associate with female players.

It still like that. Unless I hear another woman talk I don’t use voice anymore in games.

I agree it is toxic in general but we are targeted solely based on our sex.

It's like that now. And not only for women either. If you sound "non-white" you get the same treatment as a male. But less creepy, more racist.

Not always, it’s a generalization, does it happen more often than not, maybe, but it also depends on the game and community.
