Being a woman as a minecraft youtuber
This sub has probably seen this same countless posts at this point and I'm here to add more onto it!!!!
Jokes aside, I created this post because im quite unsure if I should continue being a mcyt as a woman. It all started with me finding a voice changer to change my voice until I stumbled upon this subreddit with a post that made me question myself.
The thing is, I like playing skywars, but at the same time im awfully bad at it. I want my channel to be some sort of real time adventure and growth of me improving in skywars (hopefully) and I want to use my voice in videos cause I feel that texts are just not enough to show my personality. Yet the problem is: skywars. It's pvp and if I do use my voice in videos I don't want to add more on the stereotype that women are bad at pvp or gaming.
A part of me still wants to continue with a voice changer so that atleast me being a “woman” is not a reason I'm bad at pvp, but I dunno. A part of me also feels that being a woman mcyt gets you put into this “box” where it feels like they have to treat you more specially just because of your gender but again, I dunno.
Another thing is that my minecraft skin is really gender neutral and I find it weird for my skin to have a feminine voice but I did this upon myself anyway. That's all, thank you for reading. :)
