WOW. @PlayVALORANT's own exec producer @RiotSuperCakes won't solo queue because of the harassment women repeatedly face.
How are we gamedevs working to fix this issue, particularly in games that require voice comms? And how can we protect those affected?https://www.pcgamer.com/au/valorant-executive-producer-wont-solo-queue-because-of-the-harassment-women-face/ …

In this (gorgeous) collection of LoL infographics by
@Celianna_C, this statistic in particular stood out: a THIRD of women have been sexually harassed during or after games. These images (see them all here: https://imgur.com/a/X6iR4WE#alloBvs …) are from LoL, but the issue at hand is global.pic.twitter.com/mArj6SKEjv

Riot redid their honour system to encourage more positive behaviour, and while this definitely helped - toxicity & harassment is still so prevalent. And it's not just Riot - EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Valve, etc - everyone is struggling with the same issues. So how do we fix this?

I cannot fix it. But I can help by being a normal fuckin person in game; trying to give women I play with the kind of gaming experience I want for myself. Dudes who want better got to act better. Call out shitty behavior. Riot can help by putting a report option for misogyny

Having it in there explicitly is the first step. Players being told that sexism / misogyny is a bannable offense is important. Vague “verbal abuse / harassment / negative attitude” are not sufficient. Abusers will pretend it doesn’t apply to them.

"Consensual sex isn't harassment, so how can an offer of it be?" Waaay to much gray in wording, even though most everyone knows what it looks and sounds like

Uhhh what? Getting inappropriate sexual comments at inappropriate times and from people you don't want them from is absolutely sexual harassment. That is NOT consensual.

I believe he is saying that that phrase is what the idiot children use as word magic to try and make them sound like not piles of shit.

Oh right, I misunderstood that. Thanks for the clarification, and yep totally agreed.
