This kind of abuse is part of a wider issue online including the likes of cyberbullying – where solutions are only just starting to be found. “We need to keep fighting against it," Harvey says. And it’s not necessarily a gender-specific problem. Leahviathan says, "male streamers get the same thing – just in a different flavour".

While acknowledging that it can be tough not to let trolls get to you, both Harvey and Leahviathan choose not to dwell on the negative side. They do not want it to be a defining aspect of who they are – and would rather focus on their positive online legacy of influencing people in a good way.

One of the fundamental issues is around disrespect for women in this field – and beyond. Leahviathan believes that “at the basest level, there's a lack of respect and a lack of equality. It stems from that complete lack of respect that some people have for females in general."

For Harvey, it can be a case of unconscious bias – it’s not necessarily overt sexism, more ignorance. She chooses to play in all-female teams because gaining "respect takes so much time and so much effort, they don't give you that luxury, and they don't want to play with you because they assume you're not good enough".

So why do some people think that women aren’t generally considered to be as good as men when it comes to e-sports? There is a massive disparity between male and female professional gamers. While their presence is growing, Harvey believes more women are needed to get involved and compete so that the “gems” can be discovered. It’s also critical to have more female characters in games themselves. Although, of course, gamers of either sex can get just as immersed whether playing a man or women, some female gamers feel more inspired and more of a connection when playing a female character role.
