Today& #39;shttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍵" title="Teacup without handle" aria-label="Emoji: Teacup without handle">: It& #39;s like this MOST of the time on solo queue voice comms REGARDLESS of the game I& #39;m playing. I usually don& #39;t give in to this like in the video; I& #39;m silent in an attempt to not incite more. Inevitably you get to a point where you have to mute them. More perspective:

Even just posting this video is taxing because I go through these hesitancy loops where I think about

1. how SOMEONE will judge me just by the gameplay regardless of the harassment focus

2. painting a target on my back in any way

I want to live in a world where this guy doesn& #39;t go and ruin other peoples& #39; games. Where people feel safe to speak up. But reality is that in general voice comms land, for a ton of females, their safety mechanism is identifying ppl like this early and remaining silent or muting.

Please don& #39;t be this dude who shouted "OH MY GOD IT& #39;S A GIRL" the moment I talked; who called me his "babe"/ acted like I was his girlfriend throughout the whole game. I had to heal this guy because I& #39;m trying to win the game and that SUCKED.

And for the record, yes I muted his ass. Does that mean he won& #39;t go making other people uncomfortable though? No. If you& #39;re in one of these parties, please help speak up and report these people. Because I hope this is not the kind of community you want to be playing with.
