"Toxic gamers!" They knew something wasn't right, they were proven correct "Harassment of women!" There was no woman. Gamers said she wasn't who she said she was and, to reiterate, THEY WERE RIGHT. "Starting a conversation about muh women in gaming!" *smashes head in with a rock*

"Lack of women in professional gaming/esports!" Indeed, that's a thing. But pretending there would have been if some gamers hadn't been sexist when it was a dude all along and gamers had reason to suspect it was a dude is a disservice to every woman trying to get into that arena.

As is it wasn't hard enough for women trying to get into Overwatch esports, now every one of them will be subject to even MORE scrutiny/outrage/disbelief solely because of these clowns and their "social experiment" GG guys, you gave the few legitimate sexists in gaming ammunition

And why would women want to get into esports anyway? According to game journalists all women who game can expect to get is harassment, rape threats, and ridicule, because focusing on the small number of dickheads who do those things brings clicks for their shit business model.

As I have been saying for years now: Game journalists? YOU ARE MAKING GAMING WORSE FOR WOMEN, NOT BETTER. YOU ARE MAKING WOMEN AFRAID TO DEAL WITH OTHER GAMERS. YOU ARE MAKING GAMING TOXIC FOR EVERYONE. YOUR BUSINESS MODEL IS UNETHICAL AND CANNOT BE SUSTAINED IN THE MODERN ERA.

It's almost like the "sexism in gaming" increases proportionally to the social activist dedicated to find it...

People were predicting this exact thing hours ago. It's like they don't even bother hiding the playbook anymore.

Why does the gender of an online player even matter?

Had an admin under me during my time in a gaming community that was transitioning, had not come out to us yet, used a program to make her voice sound girly. I knew for numerous reasons, other ppl didn't believe me. I didnt start some crusade or anything, just thought it was odd.

People were I guess shocked later when she felt comfortable enough to talk about it? And I'm over in the corner like "yep....yep...mhmm"

Greeeeaaat, now when an actual pro girl gamer arrives in the scene she'll have to worry about people thinking she's faking it.

Pro girls are ALWAYS faking it.

Maybe you should work on your technique then.

I think the stuff about her age came AFTER the supposed "bullying and harassment". But yes, """"""game journalist""""" were quick on the "toxic gamers!" articles.
