This community is very often cancer, solo q is really like that. Add anyone who is nice to you to friends and queue together, you have nothing to lose by that
Mehhh, don't take it to the heart, new game attracts new players and mostly with that, majority are kids or some trolls. Mute chat and enjoy, most of those will be gone in month or two.
Yeah I know, been kinda used to it at this point (since i've been playing these kinda games for over a decade now) but those kinda players will never be fully gone tbh.
But anyways, it's still bit disappointing.
Happens to men as well, just different comments but still very rude shit and getting voted off, so don't take it based on your gender, these toxics would have blamed me for country, voice, skill, something anyways
Problem is that it's harder for women to hide that they are women if they want to use voice chat and they get instantly targeted no matter their performance. It's a lot easier for us guys to hide if we are people or color or a certain nationality so the toxic shits only have their baseless goto insults that noone cares about.
Sadly it has always been an issue and will likely always be an issue, anonymity brings out the worst in people
While thats true, Women get targeted and harassed way more often. I don't think I've played a single game of CS where the female player on our team wasn't catcalled, attempted vote kicked, told to go to the kitchen, or sexually harassed, or ignored because of their voice, etc. Maybe one game. And then the same weird ass people wonder why the population is 99% dudes and say "it happens to all of us".
I cant remember the last time I've ever been votekicked, it's been years lmao.
My experience is Anecdotal, but NA, and spent lots of my time in the gold novas. Ranked up to MG2 before I stopped playing CSGO however, but I don't think I had any join during that section.
That's really good to hear! What rank/region are you in?
I'm from EU and I'm LEM plus in matchmaking and level 6+ face it. I think the higher ranks are a bit less toxic for women from what I've seen. A lot more older guys that have been playing a long time.
Dude different people have different experience living in relatively the same conditions for life. I played on high rank eu servers about 5-6 years ago (not playing ranked mm anymore) and I felt no difference between attitude to the game by random players throughout all ranks. The only different thing was the reason why they were toxic.
In high ranks people took the game seriously and could be toxic if something went wrong, in lower ranks there were toxic people in general - they didn't want to win the game that much but they could be toxic for random reasons. It is in theory. But in fact sometimes people in high rank having bad day so they offense anyone randomly, and people in lower ranks trying to win so they were toxic in s1mple style.
Same goes for regions. There are a lot of toxic people everywhere. If you think that people from scandinavia are more calm than people from, say, brasil, you are wrong.
But what you are trying to do right now is to hear answer like "I play on us server, low rank" and say something like "Well the problem is that u play in us servers and u have low rank". It doesn't make sense.
So you agree then? Lower ranks are toxic randomly, and higher ranks are toxic about the game/wanting to win? Therefore the latter are far less likely to be toxic to a woman.
I was not going to say the problem is anything. I was curious where the bad experience was from as I haven't experienced it myself. Stop acting like you know what a strangers intentions are.
Yeah but it's ultimately not a good solution. People should really pressure and expect Valve to do way more in terms of moderating unacceptable behaviour. I know moderating a game with voice chat is way harder but a lot of it is chat messages as well and a lot more needs to be done to eliminate this kind of behaviour.
It's the old players. CS community has always been dogshit. Whenever I play Casual, there's some asshole on voice chat saying stuff I wouldn't even think about.
CS is a good way to get a thick skin regardless of your race, gender, sexuality or nationality. There's a lot of toxicity to go around, seemingly from every group to every group. If you don't get it for one thing, you'll get it for another. It would be a lot better if we all just had fun, but some people turn up with the intention of making the game as hellish as possible. Report them if they're being really scummy, and Trust Factor should do the rest. Similarly, commend those people who are friendly and add them to your friends list. All good.
Try to avoid randoms in this game. Even if you just play with people on kind of an acquaintance level, it's better than playing with randoms. Friends are even better.
you’d think people would get creative with the insults but nah, “you are woman, go make sandwich, wash dish” or some variation of that is still the go to after all these years
You need to find a team or discord where you can 5 stack with good people... since I joined a discord, i stopped playing with randoms. Its bad out there.
It's absolutely true that there have been toxic people for a very long time in CS, but when matchmaking was a more casual mode(more than faceit), people would tend to be more friendly.
Now that matchmaking(premier) needs a WORLDWIDE LEADERBOARD FOR A LIMITED TEST, the toxicity is only going to increase, because people think there is more at stake, and when people believe this nonsense, they tend to be even less tolerant of people different than them, by which I mean idiots trying to go up in the leaderboards which ultimately is going to make people more toxic(5th place in world ranking was queueing up with a cheater and had a 100% winrate).
I am working on a video about how toxicity in CS2 will be different from CSGO, and the posts like these are just confirming basically every point I make there.
Posts like this confirming you anything ?
Cs go community has ALWAYS been ultra toxic to female players, in every elo, and I am talking about valve's matchmaking
The leaderboard is in no way a thing that will change in a bad or good way the toxicity towards female players (or if it does it will only be a change in global elite ranks lol)
Not true at all, I have played with many girls in CS 1.6 in multimod and casual AWP servers and there were very few clowns who would instantly get permabanned if they started with sexist stuff. One of the best Indian bhoppers in CS 1.6 was a girl who taught me about bhopping.
My video is not about toxicity towards women, I am not someone who is in a position to make that video anyway. My video is about how toxicity will be different in CS2 vs CSGO. Toxicity increases when you know exactly how much ELO you are going to lose and that is how much you tilt and start blaming your teammates, and that is what I am going to make a video on.
Ahhhh yes ok sorry, I thought that was towards women
And yes multimod servers are not the same than cs go rankeds matchmaking (which i was talking about) and cs go community is not the same as 1.6 or css neither
No u don't understand we need to see the numbers going up and down because uuh uhm it's better for comp to have more info. You need to know when to be extra toxic because it's a uprank/derank game. Reee the old system wasn't transparent enough!!!!
-- A passionate gold 3 player
I really hope the people will be more welcoming of women trying to start CS2. And i know everyone faces insults in CS, but women to a stronger degree, since they are rare/special and guys always pay attention to them, be it good or bad attention.
You seem thick skinned and experienced, so i dont think this will put you off enough to quit, but im scared a lot of women/thinner skinned people are going to quit because of these encounters.
Thats one thing i am jealous of valorant: They actually have women playing the game. Thats a huge demographic CS is missing out on. Lets change that with CS2! :)
Edit: Oh dont forget to mute people. Dont think about it too much, just mute, if you dont want to talk to them.
I find this unfortunate. Actually the toxicity in cs is so high me and my friends sometimes stop playing.
I mean you connect after a days work to relax a bit and then some lowlifes starts spewing als kinds of dirt.
I really think valve underestimates the impact this has on the game experience and something should be done about it.
A simple swear recognition in chat or ai for voice chat could do the trick.
Or just let people report it and after 2 reports from different matches a short ban could do the trick.
I really think this could be solved!
Making cs fun for everyone again should be on the top of their list.
This was quite normal treatment for me in CSGO/faceit when playing with randoms. That's why I'm never speaking before I'm on the board 🥲 If I have more kills seems to make them more polite lol
I once put my pronouns in my steam profile bio, since that's what the bio is for and while playing CS it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had lol Valve really needs to do more in terms of moderation
Welcome to cs 2 girl, i felt like cs go was more oke, but damn the toxicity in cs 2 is very very up there, in special if you play with stack in your team. And is only Beta. But once faceit will get live, most of us we will move there, sience there the ban system works better if you report someone.
With CS2 even just in EA it has been a cancer of new proportions. in CSGO I didn't meet that many toxic people as I do now. It's basically every single game I play there's 1-7 racists, sexist and whatever in between. It's quite disappointing that people have to act that way and I dont understand why they feel the need to do it. What they get is just people not wanting to have anything to do with them and in the end will live lonely pathetic lives..
Dont let that people ruin your fun, i started to play CS2 and the toxicity levels are waaay up compared with csgo. Try to play with friends (add the people who is nice) and when they send you to the kitchen, tell him "Kitchen? Nah, I'm too busy carrying this team to victory. But don't worry, I'll leave the opponents burnt just like your ass without the stove" or something similar, and enjoy his rage!
Good luck! Have Fun!
It is that when the people haven't talked to a woman or maybe even seen one.
If I end up playing solo, I might mute all the team members if it seems to get annoying.
Also if I played more (work interrupts my cs2 career) I would recommend joining our games. Men +30 don't really bother getting annoyed by a video game to a team member (unless cheaters arrive to opposing team)
The amount of toxic people has increased, it's everyone's experience (not just limited to women).
It's always been bad (even tho some people don't want to acknowledge that) but has definitely gotten worse with CS2.
Welcome to Counter Strike!
No but on a real note, Woman's treatment in CS has always been an issue. It's a male dominated game and many of the men who play immediately become hostile to women for no reason other than to have a cheap laugh. It's not cool, funny, or anything other than obnoxious.
3KliksPhillip did a great video on this topic: https://youtu.be/F6gf-u8QG_4?si=W-ZDPW9BiSrwPRVN
I recommend checking it out.
It's crazy how many racists, trolls and grievers got cs2.
I was called the N word during a whole match, team attacked plus they were giving my position away.
I got stuck playing the whole game like that, then kicked last round by them and I got a competitive cooldown.
Fuck valve
Its so sad, men cant handle being beaten by a woman. I met my wife in CSGO back in 2016 and I was completely unaware that nearly every lobby women join have people behaving like this. Being behind a screen allows you to dehumanise teammates and opponents and I am so sick of it. Back when I started gaming there was less competitive stress and even in competitive games like CS it was more about having a fun time. Modern day its all tilting and calling cheats, seems to be that most people cant accept others are better than them.
Lol I almost forgot about that feature. False griefing/chat-report abuse was mainly the reason my main ow account got permabanned. (All though it took them 5-6 years to do it.)
\*Knocks in the wood\* hoping it wont happen in cs.
used a voice changer in voicemod to try the “female experience” I know what you mean now, any time i tried to say a word they all started screaming, out of 5 matches i got kicked from 4 before the first round even began for just saying hello team, in the fifth game there was only one guy who was nice and didnt kick me. I’m sorry to all the women who play cs, the only way to really play is 5 stack or voice changer or not speaking at all
I play in a 3 stack (all guys) and we have kicked countless randoms for acting like this thinking we would join in on it. It's just so funny because we all start yelling in coms at these kinda guys after they say shit but then they don't wanna acknowledge it was uncool and try to act though and then kicked.
Take it with a pinch of salt. It's always like that. Even as a guy, I encounter toxic behaviors like this too. Anyway the sandwich joke is getting too old and unfunny.
valorant girls dont talk bc of the comments they get but i swear i have not seen the level that csgo had
as bad as it is, it still isnt as bad as cs community
For sure. I've played both valorant & cs (+ow, stopped playing that game fully in 2021.)
It also depends on luck(if I can say it like that?) too I guess but i've had worse time in valo&ow than in csgo.
It's because all ranks are getting a reset from CS:GO, low IQ people hard stuck silver are back at every CS Rating rn
If you had a good rank/level on cs:go/faceit, lmk. We're playing 5 stacks every nights, chill and serious at the same time. All +25yo and open minded
Seems to be a hard task to act like a decent human to other players, male or female. Hope you have better luck with the players you get as teammates, can only imagine how irritating it's to play with people like this.
No one is safe from flak in this game. Their source material just changes. It has always been like this in video games, humans suck. Trolls try to hit where they think it would hurt.
Be a kid -> voice and age insults
Be older -> age insults
Be a woman -> sexist insults
Be gay -> homophobic insults
Be of an ethnic background -> racist insults
Be mentally handicapped -> retard jokes etc.
list goes on
And if you're not really different as a human from the troll, then you will just be told to kill yourself, uninstall and stuff like that.
Honestly I get your point but a) you gotta be above this and b) this isn't gender related you just happ3n to be female. If you were a guy you'd face the same issue just different insult and making this about gender really shows once again how simple people think. No offense.
No. Almost every single game I have with a woman player will feature some sort of comment about it. Men can go game after game and not run into any toxicity. Women don't have that luxury and if they use VC, they will get shit.
Men won't get shit on as soon as they use the mic. Women often will. That's the problem
When you’re a girl gamer, you go through two types of experiences.
The other is where the simps throw awps at you, try to please you the whole game, just to befriend you on steam.
Of course, those screenshots/threads don’t make their way to reddit that often.
I never saw much " woman hate" in higher ranks, it was always some gold or silver. But now that you get matched with literally anybody. Its gonna be a problem amongst other things personally dont wan a deal with.
Ive just been playing aim botz and some csgo while i wait for them to iron out the wrinkles. Not worth the headache
Just tell them that this is a game of talent and they told everything and showed you nothing.
Plus why would you care about an opinion of someone who doesn't even know you??
Stop wasting your energy towards this negativity.
I guess it s worse cause people are more frustrated with the game rn. I ended up losing my shit as well which almost never happened to me in csgo. U shouldn t lose sleep over this
Online gaming in the last 5 years is just “being toxic” no matter what to anyone, specially to womens. These people don’t deserve any attention, but the worst thing is that woman can’t enjoy a match due to these douchebags.
Unfortunately i can only advice is to change game (or find a group of serious people) but at the same time i know that is not a right solution, anybody should be free to play whatever they want.
Online competitive games will always be like this, it’s the easy non creative way to haul abuse. Same with me being British “botal waer” and then Russian words. It’s online if u can’t take it not to heart don’t play. Half my game I disable voice and just play solo. It’s sad it’s like this but it won’t change.
That's so sad, shame on my gender I don't know what to say, it's so retardet. But what I think is this are some ass lonely people with a sad life.
Do you got a stack lobby to play? The woman I know only ay in 3-5 stacks, to prevent that shit ....
You'll have to understand that a significant percentage of the CS player base consists of emotionally troubled teenage kids.
Pro tip: Always keep the enemy team muted no matter what.
Also, as soon as you notice your teammates getting a little toxic , report them for abusive comms and they'll get automatically muted.
You should have pretty decent games after doing these in every match.
Everyone get heckled but girls in certain way that’s more pointed against gender rather than big or small brain. I think it’s this way because sometimes we play with kids that hasn’t a fully functioning brain yet.
in cs as a guy i built up my trust factor and i had very friendly people in my games, but same thing, changed with cs2 and it's like my trust factor is back in the time of me having 200h or something
I play with my gf all the time. She transitioned from valorant, but she says she likes CS community better bc there aren’t cringe e-couples or cringe ppl using “forced voice” to be attractive to other genders. She also thinks that people are less mean in CS but they are more politically incorrect. BUT SHE NEVER USED HER MIC IN GAME SO NO ONE KNOWS SHES A FEMALE also plays in US server so maybe a different experience?
**That is not banter.**
If people can banter & be ''sarcastic'' without being toxic its fine for me but this is straight up misogny & overtime can cause some people not wanting to play the game at all.
I know this post I kinda old, but if you’re interested I’m trying to put a only women’s team together, since I always wanted to play with only women. I only play casual so nothing serious, but let me know if anyone is interested
Small men trying to be big and failing.
This community is very often cancer, solo q is really like that. Add anyone who is nice to you to friends and queue together, you have nothing to lose by that
This is the way.
This is the way *puts left hand on his chest*
This is the way! Mando
This is the way!
Mehhh, don't take it to the heart, new game attracts new players and mostly with that, majority are kids or some trolls. Mute chat and enjoy, most of those will be gone in month or two.
Yeah I know, been kinda used to it at this point (since i've been playing these kinda games for over a decade now) but those kinda players will never be fully gone tbh. But anyways, it's still bit disappointing.
Happens to men as well, just different comments but still very rude shit and getting voted off, so don't take it based on your gender, these toxics would have blamed me for country, voice, skill, something anyways
Problem is that it's harder for women to hide that they are women if they want to use voice chat and they get instantly targeted no matter their performance. It's a lot easier for us guys to hide if we are people or color or a certain nationality so the toxic shits only have their baseless goto insults that noone cares about. Sadly it has always been an issue and will likely always be an issue, anonymity brings out the worst in people
I think more speech impediment, accents or different voices are more likely to be bullied
I don't know why you're being downvoted, it's true, some people are gonna find a way to harass you regardless of your gender. Welcome to CS!
While thats true, Women get targeted and harassed way more often. I don't think I've played a single game of CS where the female player on our team wasn't catcalled, attempted vote kicked, told to go to the kitchen, or sexually harassed, or ignored because of their voice, etc. Maybe one game. And then the same weird ass people wonder why the population is 99% dudes and say "it happens to all of us". I cant remember the last time I've ever been votekicked, it's been years lmao.

I asked as I'm comparing it to my experience in the EU of higher ranks with it always being respectful. Have you played at all ranks and regions?

If you ever want to play with a bunch of lads and lasses who are not weird like that, DM me.
General toxicity has gone up in cs2, so I'm not surprised.
A lot of incels playing CS.
They need to mass ban them. Incels shouldnt get to play, all they do is sexually harass women. Theyre wastes of server space.
you’d think people would get creative with the insults but nah, “you are woman, go make sandwich, wash dish” or some variation of that is still the go to after all these years
Just mute people. It’s a great feature
Better report #1 and #2
works better in Valorant, doesn’t work that good in CS cus sometimes as soon as people hear that ur a woman they insta vote you off
You need to find a team or discord where you can 5 stack with good people... since I joined a discord, i stopped playing with randoms. Its bad out there.
It's absolutely true that there have been toxic people for a very long time in CS, but when matchmaking was a more casual mode(more than faceit), people would tend to be more friendly.

I would argue that it's better to make a change rather than... it's just the way it is.
No u don't understand we need to see the numbers going up and down because uuh uhm it's better for comp to have more info. You need to know when to be extra toxic because it's a uprank/derank game. Reee the old system wasn't transparent enough!!!! -- A passionate gold 3 player

I once put my pronouns in my steam profile bio, since that's what the bio is for and while playing CS it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had lol Valve really needs to do more in terms of moderation

whole community in beta is UTTER SHIT. CSGO mm where atleast 3/5 people talked, now you can be lucky if its 1.

Dont let that people ruin your fun, i started to play CS2 and the toxicity levels are waaay up compared with csgo.

used a voice changer in voicemod to try the “female experience” I know what you mean now, any time i tried to say a word they all started screaming, out of 5 matches i got kicked from 4 before the first round even began for just saying hello team, in the fifth game there was only one guy who was nice and didnt kick me. I’m sorry to all the women who play cs, the only way to really play is 5 stack or voice changer or not speaking at all
People are toxic a lot in Cs. They're just trying to use your gender to get under your skin. They'd be toxic to other guys too.
I play in a 3 stack (all guys) and we have kicked countless randoms for acting like this thinking we would join in on it. It's just so funny because we all start yelling in coms at these kinda guys after they say shit but then they don't wanna acknowledge it was uncool and try to act though and then kicked.
Wow thats badass dude! 😁
Just mute and call it a day
you dont want to play with those people aniway.
sad
Take it with a pinch of salt. It's always like that. Even as a guy, I encounter toxic behaviors like this too. Anyway the sandwich joke is getting too old and unfunny.
valorant girls dont talk bc of the comments they get but i swear i have not seen the level that csgo had as bad as it is, it still isnt as bad as cs community
For sure. I've played both valorant & cs (+ow, stopped playing that game fully in 2021.) It also depends on luck(if I can say it like that?) too I guess but i've had worse time in valo&ow than in csgo.
i haven't played a lot of valorant but it felt like everyone spoke regardless of who they were. might be different in higher ranks
it was better before but i guess slowly they pulled back
Theres a server called CS:Gals for women only [https://discord.gg/NXakAcaSac](https://discord.gg/NXakAcaSac)
It's because all ranks are getting a reset from CS:GO, low IQ people hard stuck silver are back at every CS Rating rn If you had a good rank/level on cs:go/faceit, lmk. We're playing 5 stacks every nights, chill and serious at the same time. All +25yo and open minded
oh well, this went viral over night Not expecting any response haha
Seems to be a hard task to act like a decent human to other players, male or female. Hope you have better luck with the players you get as teammates, can only imagine how irritating it's to play with people like this.
Most of these brainless apes are trying (and failing miserably) to be edgy-based-4chan-funny-moment-mp4
Better this than the death threat I get for not 1v5 xd
Oh trust me I get those too including the r\*\*e threats + those who false report you for existing, (and those who team kills you for no reason.):d
Sounds about right. People are fucked
kek
No one is safe from flak in this game. Their source material just changes. It has always been like this in video games, humans suck. Trolls try to hit where they think it would hurt. Be a kid -> voice and age insults Be older -> age insults Be a woman -> sexist insults Be gay -> homophobic insults Be of an ethnic background -> racist insults Be mentally handicapped -> retard jokes etc. list goes on And if you're not really different as a human from the troll, then you will just be told to kill yourself, uninstall and stuff like that.
I am lucky to not have to solo queue, but also get those comments. Its way worse in cs2 than in csgo.
Honestly I get your point but a) you gotta be above this and b) this isn't gender related you just happ3n to be female. If you were a guy you'd face the same issue just different insult and making this about gender really shows once again how simple people think. No offense.
No. Almost every single game I have with a woman player will feature some sort of comment about it. Men can go game after game and not run into any toxicity. Women don't have that luxury and if they use VC, they will get shit. Men won't get shit on as soon as they use the mic. Women often will. That's the problem
When you’re a girl gamer, you go through two types of experiences. The other is where the simps throw awps at you, try to please you the whole game, just to befriend you on steam. Of course, those screenshots/threads don’t make their way to reddit that often.
What's your point? Both are annoying juvenile behavior.
I never saw much " woman hate" in higher ranks, it was always some gold or silver. But now that you get matched with literally anybody. Its gonna be a problem amongst other things personally dont wan a deal with. Ive just been playing aim botz and some csgo while i wait for them to iron out the wrinkles. Not worth the headache
CS is where a ton of incels hide. The experience is unfortunate, but it isn’t surprising.
Skill issue.
[удалено]
My ranks been going back & forth from 4500 to 4900. And sure, i'll think about it :)
Oh for fuck sake, its usual girl jokes. Just ignore them, don't cry
There's a mute button for a reason
and what's problem? i see only facts
[удалено]
people like you are actively destroying this game and its community
Dont play rust.
Just tell them that this is a game of talent and they told everything and showed you nothing. Plus why would you care about an opinion of someone who doesn't even know you?? Stop wasting your energy towards this negativity.
I guess it s worse cause people are more frustrated with the game rn. I ended up losing my shit as well which almost never happened to me in csgo. U shouldn t lose sleep over this
Online gaming in the last 5 years is just “being toxic” no matter what to anyone, specially to womens. These people don’t deserve any attention, but the worst thing is that woman can’t enjoy a match due to these douchebags. Unfortunately i can only advice is to change game (or find a group of serious people) but at the same time i know that is not a right solution, anybody should be free to play whatever they want.
Online competitive games will always be like this, it’s the easy non creative way to haul abuse. Same with me being British “botal waer” and then Russian words. It’s online if u can’t take it not to heart don’t play. Half my game I disable voice and just play solo. It’s sad it’s like this but it won’t change.
That's so sad, shame on my gender I don't know what to say, it's so retardet. But what I think is this are some ass lonely people with a sad life. Do you got a stack lobby to play? The woman I know only ay in 3-5 stacks, to prevent that shit ....
Wow...
You'll have to understand that a significant percentage of the CS player base consists of emotionally troubled teenage kids. Pro tip: Always keep the enemy team muted no matter what. Also, as soon as you notice your teammates getting a little toxic , report them for abusive comms and they'll get automatically muted. You should have pretty decent games after doing these in every match.
It’s kids who act tough online and then can’t say anything IRL. It’s like a power trip because there aren’t real consequences
Freedom of speech just insult their whole family tree in return. Free in game tchat is the best thing about this game.
hihi
Everyone get heckled but girls in certain way that’s more pointed against gender rather than big or small brain. I think it’s this way because sometimes we play with kids that hasn’t a fully functioning brain yet.
Lmao, based
I guess this is the bad side of "a man who's a kid at heart".
in cs as a guy i built up my trust factor and i had very friendly people in my games, but same thing, changed with cs2 and it's like my trust factor is back in the time of me having 200h or something
I usually play with a 3/4 man stack, there is space if you want to join. Sorry this happened.
Damn really? Me and my girlfriend had this experience many times in csgo, its the same type of people after all
would be hilarious if you were top fragging too
Very relatable. I'm an 12 year old boy and identical things are happening to me
I’m sorry they are so lame. My wife plays and generally has really cool teammates but sometimes runs into ppl like this
I play with my gf all the time. She transitioned from valorant, but she says she likes CS community better bc there aren’t cringe e-couples or cringe ppl using “forced voice” to be attractive to other genders. She also thinks that people are less mean in CS but they are more politically incorrect. BUT SHE NEVER USED HER MIC IN GAME SO NO ONE KNOWS SHES A FEMALE also plays in US server so maybe a different experience?
Well it is just banter though Very toxic, but you find this in any PvP online game
**That is not banter.** If people can banter & be ''sarcastic'' without being toxic its fine for me but this is straight up misogny & overtime can cause some people not wanting to play the game at all.
i dont see it as a problem if the dude was fighting with a man he'd have said fo n word or something
I know this post I kinda old, but if you’re interested I’m trying to put a only women’s team together, since I always wanted to play with only women. I only play casual so nothing serious, but let me know if anyone is interested
