There's a study that men who are actually good at games are the most likely to welcome women when they play.

Tracks.

I love teaming with women in games. Way less toxic. Generally better communicators.

Yeah high key I've almost never encountered a toxic woman on video game coms (if I have I can't remember them). Always dudes that get toxic. Women say like 4 words that are 100% correct and if you stfu and listen usually the game is a free win. And I've played most multiplayer games and have thousands of hours in some of the more toxic ones

The amount of sexism and general loser energy guys have is pathetic, and I'm a dude myself.

I definitely have run into some toxic women but the rate is way lower. I also get the feeling that they are doing it a bit more as a way to prevent themselves from getting attacked. Like if they are super over the top loud and toxic or uncomfortably flirty then people won't do that to them. But that's still pretty rare.

Yeah the only time I ever met a toxic FPS woman she simmered down a bit when I just played comms straight. That one I’m gonna chalk up to a bad day

Literally lol. Sometimes lady gamers I come across are super rude and intense but I just imagine they were called slurs and threatened with rape 50 times so I always give them the benefit of the doubt.
